Picked up some singles as part of a 50 cent (not the rapper, though there were some of his there) sale, as well as an EP I've been looking for for cheap for a while:
Human League - Fascination EP Lil Wayne - Shine Lil Wayne - Bring It Back Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More/Tear Da Roof Off (TEST PRESSING!!) TI - What You Know Tricky - Hot Like A Sauna/Bom Bom Diggy Kanye West - Flashing Lights Tela - A Pimp Ol Dirty Bastard - Recognize
A couple more pick ups today (and I may even go back down the road and pick up a real guilty pleasure record if I can find some stuff for store credit):
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West Rush - Exit Stage Left
“High Definition Vinyl” has moved closer to a turntable near you. In 2016, a European patent filing described a way of manufacturing records that the inventors claimed would have higher audio fidelity, louder volume, and longer playing times than conventional LPs. Now, the Austrian-based startup Rebeat Innovation has received $4.8 million in funding for the initiative, founder and CEO Günter Loibl told Pitchfork. Thanks to the investment, the first “HD vinyl” albums could hit stores as early as 2019, Loibl said.
The HD vinyl process involves converting audio digitally to a 3D topographic map. Lasers are then used to inscribe the map onto the “stamper,” the part that stamps the grooves into the vinyl. According to Loibl, these methods allow for records to be made more precisely and with less loss of audio information. The results, he said, are vinyl LPs that can have up to 30 percent more playing time, 30 percent more amplitude, and overall more faithful sound reproduction. The technique would also avoid the chemicals that play a role in traditional vinyl manufacturing. Plus, the new-school HD vinyl LPs would still play on ordinary record players.
What’s next? Rebeat Innovation has ordered a big laser system, for about $600,000, with hopes that it will be shipped by July, Loibl said. Once that system is up and running, Loibl said he plans to produce test stampers for five to-be-determined “early mover” pressing plants. In September, the first test stampers would arrive at those plants. “Our goal is to officially present our test stampers at the Making Vinyl conference in October,” Loibl said, referring to the vinyl trade event held in Detroit. “It will take another eight months to do all the fine adjustments. So by summer 2019 we shall see the first HD vinyls in the stores.”

basically it's a new way to create a stamper. the records are pressed the exact same way. IMO records don't need more amplitude, nor do they need to be able to run longer.
so i'm thinking the new stamping process improves the sound exactly zero percent. and if we want perfect fidelity, we can buy a CD.
Lady Gaga - The Fame (yeah, yeah... I have gotten absolutely addicted to this album in recent months and felt like it was worth having on vinyl... sounds great, too.) Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (2009 180 gram repressing)
I love 2nd and Charles' $5 off email coupons, makes these records cheaper than if I were to get them off of Discogs or Amazon.

This seems a better place to mention it than the beer thread - the Flaming Lips/Dogfish Head beer is actually pretty good. A touch too fruity for me, but overall more juicy than fruity if that makes sense.

I was drinking this this weekend; I enjoyed it - not as bitter as a lot of pale ales.

Only one record, and one CD, but I think I did pretty well at Manifest today:
Lil Wayne - Tha Block Is Hot (promo, only vinyl release this album ever got... at least a $25 record, got it for $5) Laibach - Monumental Retro-Avant-Garde: Live at Tate Modern/ 14 April 2012 (CD, seemingly rare... no listings on eBay, none for sale on Discogs with low sales of $59, median of $79, and a high of $185... got it for $4)

Finally went through the RSD list and I have a few I'd like to get and a few I would maybe pick up if I saw it (depending on how many of the "Really want" ones I can grab).
Neil Young's live "Tonight's the Night" is a top priority for me. Same for the Speak Out/Newport folk fest release.
If I can get the Grateful Dead fillmore show and the 7" singles from Hendrix and Zeppelin I'd be pretty happy. Thinking about getting that Run the Jewels box thing to store the RTJ records in if it's available.
Then a handful of "maybes" including Arcade Fire, Mac Demarco, Dylan & the Dead, Fleet Foxes, and Twin Peaks soundtrack.

The NY record is a general release, I don’t believe there’s a special RSD version, but correct me if I’m wrong.

Yea, I thought I knew about that because when it was first announced I shared a link with the friend who first showed me Tonight's the Night and was excited.
Just found the article about it and sounds like the only "special" stuff about it for RSD is an etching on the side D and a print/photo of the band at the show. I could live without those if I don't grab one on RSD itself. Or if I get too many things I'd be happy to put that down and pick it up at a later date.
That's one thing that I used to never look into and would end up buying a box set of something only for it to be available online a few months later. I could have used that money on the actual limited releases.

I think my real problem this year is getting up super early and waiting on line. I used to do that in the earlier years but the past few years I just stroll in later in the afternoon and see what's left.
