Another small haul. And got the biggest damn steal so far this year for Stormzy. Found it on ebay for $18 cause the seller said they had a stack of them and had been pretty dinged up. Seems I got the cleanest copy cause it was just a small ding in the corner that might happen on its own.

Yeah, I like that. At my store they used to allow pre-orders for the Black Friday RSD dates, not the official regular dates. It was so nice to just walk in and grab it instead of lining up for a while. Then I think someone ratted them out or something and they were told by RSD they shouldn't do that.

Friend's dad just sold me about 100 soul and funk records from the mid 70s, all early/first pressings. I don't know if I have any more money left for RSD, but came away with about 15 Parliament/Funkadelic records (first pressings in great shape, what a deal), 8 Curtis records, 7 AL green, 5 Marvin Gaye, more Donny Hathaway, Bobby Womack. Can't believe he was getting rid of them.
Looking through these, also 3 random Serge Gainsbourg in here. What a boss.

You won the week. I’d gladly spend it on that than RSD releases. Congratulations! That’s a score.

Finally got the Arab Strap As Days Get Dark LP today after months of delays from Rough Trade; the cover art is based off of a Macbook desktop and the album sticker is a TextEdit window that cover the album art, which I thought was a nice touch. I'm posting it here mostly to preserve it for posterity before I rip it open and throw it away lol:

I don't know how true/accurate this is but found it on Reddit. Apparently these are RSD titles that were bumped from tomorrow until the next RSD in July:
I swear I always saw the Beasties Boys as a July release from the start. I did see a list that had delays for some releases so this would seem reasonable.

A few things I wanted were bumped or not available until July (Allman Brothers, John Prine, CSNY) and I still ended up spending way more than I planned on. Oops.
The only thing I really wanted was The Replacements' The Pleasure's All Yours but it looks like I can order that online and if I miss out I'm ok with that.

LMAO I’m already searching and keeping tabs. They’re allowed to put RSD stock online at 1 EST AND I’m already in shambles. Gonna post a “slightly” used liver for sale on Craigslist in a few.
K I gave in and got one thing. Meteora. Came up on the 10am thing at a small shop. Line for Amoeba looked pretty bad from their posts. Prob have to get in line next month to get what I want. Hopefully their system works out well.
Waited in the Rough Trade queue for 20 minutes just to see if I could snag The Replacements and of course it's not even available to purchase in any capacity on their website. I could still import it from a UK store but that seems excessive lol.

They had it on Newbury a few minutes ago
Awesome, thanks. I had tried searching for it at other US stores and couldn't find anything.

Got Linkin Park, Alkaline Trio and Senses Fail. Tried two places, both were sold out of the Haim 7". Contemplated Rage but held back. Both stores had so many copies, I feel like I won't have a problem going back tomorrow if I change my mind.
