Wilco and Black Keys are big boxes that have one small thing I want in them....the rest I already have. Damn.
Definitely trying for that Flaming Lips Heady Fwiends thing. Also want to grab the New Multitudes 10" and maybe the Childish Gambino and wouldn't mind grabbing the Grateful Dead Dark Star LP.
Of course I'm going to be going for Mynah Birds and hoping to get the Otis Redding/Aretha Franklin 7" 's

So I'm not entirely sure on how record store day works? Do the stores know what records they will get before record store day, or is it just being hopeful that they get what you want?
I've heard of that before headradio. What one of the stores told me in previous years. What a guy told me was they request as many as they can but they don't always get what they request.
Like they'll put in an order for 10 of the Flaming Lips thing but only recieve 3 or 4. Since things are limited and so many stores from different parts of the country request things they have to try to be fair I guess.
seems like it depends on the store but most just put in orders and get what they get

The stores in my area are all first come-first serve, no pre-orders, no holds. It's a clusterfuck, but it's fun.

If it were the same price as the others but more of a random lottery thing (5 random packages get the blood package or something) then it'd be cool to get it. I can't pay a hefty price for it but I"m sure some will and Flaming Lips will continue making money. Seriously, I love the idea behind the Gummy Skull and Gummy fetus stuff but it's totally not worth that kind of money to me.

I absolutely love Third Man Records
At Third Man we are constantly working on new ways of looking at the art and production of vinyl. It’s always important to us to show that records and vinyl do not have to be strictly the domain of the retro or vintage enthusiast, but that it is very much a modern and viable and important physical product. We strive to make our vinyl products the highest standard of packaging and presentation. A great way to spread the word of vinyl is by showing people that there are always new ways to present and innovate LPs and 45s. Furthermore, Record Store Day is a fantastic way to help get these ideas out there to the public. For one day a year, all eyes are on the independent record industry; the labels, bands and record stores all get a moment to shine. This event gets bigger and word spreads further every year as bands and labels put together great limited edition recordings and packaging that will be available for one day only. It’s almost like an international trade show for records where you can actually buy the innovations you’re seeing demonstrated before you... We love it.
This year we have some things for record store day that we are REALLY excited about... Without further ado... We give you this years innovations:
JACK WHITE “SIXTEEN SALTINES”
The 12-inch single of Jack White’s “Sixteen Saltines” comes complete with a playable etching on the b-side (designed by George Ingram), a cover of U2’s “Love is Blindness.” Truly a sight to behold, the etching depicts Third Man’s iconic logo and the grooves of the record play through the image, presenting consumers with the world’s first-ever playable etched record ®.
As if that weren’t enough, Third Man took the playable etching one step further and used the same parts to make a limited-edition version of the “Saltines” 12-inch single. Not only is the etching playable, but the record itself is pressed on clear vinyl and filled with psychedelic blue liquid. While the soundtrack for the 1978 film The Black Hole was initially prototyped as a liquid-filled disc, problems with leakage prevented it from ever being released. The liquid-filled “Saltines” is the first-ever disc of its kind to be made available to the public. KAREN ELSON “MILK AND HONEY”
In addition to these two releases, Third Man is also releasing the new single from Karen Elson. The cover of Jackson C. Frank’s “Milk and Honey” is pressed on milk and honey split-colored vinyl coupled with a laser-cut lace sleeve. The visual these two elements make when combined together is, as you can see, stunning. The WHITE STRIPES “HAND SPRINGS” B/W “RED DEATH AT 6:14”
In addition to that, Third Man is releasing a milk and honey swirled colored vinyl of Elson’s single as well as a red vinyl with black whisps edition of the White Stripes “Hand Springs” and “Red Death at 6:14”, two songs that have been out of print on vinyl for over ten years. These two releases, along with the CD/LP release of Jerry Lee Lewis’ live recording at Third Man (that took place on Record Store Day 2011) will be available at ANY record store wise enough to have ordered copies for Record Store Day.
The liquid-filled record ® and laser-cut lace split-color will ONLY be available from Third Man Records physical location in Nashville (623 7th Ave S) on Record Store Day, April 21st, 2012. The playable etching will also be available from Third Man and a select number of record stores.
yeah I wish I could visit TMR but sadly cannot but man thats cool stuff heres to hopin we get that liquid filled 12" in the vault package....... but thats prob a longshot
Manufacturing issues have taken another bite out of our Record Store Day list. Releases from these folks will not be ready for April 21, but we'll keep you posted when these are released later: GOGOL BORDELLO, DANNY BROWN, SONNYMOON, QUANTIC & ALICE RUSSELL WITH THE COMBO BARBARO
