Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Anyone have more info on how the Flaming Lips Zaireeka is going to work? The original was four CDs meant to be played simultaneously, but this is for 45rpm LPs. Is it remixed or abbreviated or what? About 1% chance I buy it, but I'm still pretty curious.
Seems like a novelty that one could never really cash in on. At least not without some serious work.
The CD's were complete garbage, imo. Separate and simultaneously.
I'm staying outta this thread this year. I'm just to broke to think about it. I'll still wander in and pick up some free stuff, but my cash is elsewhere.

If I had a record player, I would have to buy this despite not having the money. I would make it a fine steak dinner, lay it down by the fire and make sweet, sweet love to it.
I'm really pissed off because I pre-ordered Parallax II vinyl before it was released and it is the exact same as the colored ones pictured. But I blew it on getting Parallax I a while back and it always ends up going for high $ on ebay and the blue print is nowhere near as cool as that awesome speckled print. Also need that The Anatomy Of vinyl.
Wow-so is there any way to know ahead of time which stores will have which records?
If you go on the site I linked, you'll see who is participating. However, they don't even know what they will get for sure until the shipment comes. They request what they want, and sometimes they get everything, sometimes just some of it. From what I've been told anyway. It's like Black Friday for music lovers.
Come to think of it, they also do it on Black Friday.
Yep, this is exactly how it works. You know you're going to get shorted on the most popular items, so you up your orders to try to get in more. For instance, we've gotten a ton of calls about the Phish piece this year (for whatever reason, Phish fans REALLY turn out for RSD--happens every year), so we ordered 60 in the hopes that we will actually get 30 in. Every year, though, without fail, there will be a few pieces that you think are gonna be really big that aren't and then you don't get shorted and you get stuck with a bunch of copies. You can usually sell them over the course of the year on eBay and such, but there are gonna be some that are just gonna sit on your shelves all year and never sell.

Oh, and as far as the Zaireeka vinyl: I'm fairly certain I read in the press release that it's going to be just like the CD, not all four CDs played together. So good luck with that. Like Zapp said, it's going to be a collector's item mostly. People will still buy it, without a doubt.

I work in a store that's a key participant of RSD (the woman that I think pretty much oversees the whole operation lives here and comes every year for RSD), so if you guys have any questions, I could probably answer them.
OH, AND: There is a super secret 7" this year, so secret they aren't even telling stores what artist is behind it (which is pretty stupid--they're telling stores to make blind orders on this piece they're hyping up). BUT...we are 90% sure we figured out who it is and we ordered accordingly...if it is this artist it's going to be really, really, really huge (PM me if you're dying to know).

The impossible dream - Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention I'm the Slime b/w Montana remastered from original analog source, Montana is a 2013 single edit with an additional 25 seconds of music) on Green Slime colored vinyl (3000 copies). - Montana is one of my favorite Zappa tunes.
Perhaps more realistic:
Calexico Spirtoso (LP + CD, Live tracks, previously only available on tour on vinyl)
Van Dyke Parks Song Cycle 180g Mono LP, individually numbered !!!!! <----SUPER excited about this!
Van Dyke Parks Super Chief (unreleased LP) !!!!! <----SUPER excited about this!
That's it for the "I can not live without" list. I both love and hate RSD!

GZA Liquid Swords Chess Box : Vinyl Edition includes a 4 LP set, 2 LP of the original album, plus 2 LP of the instrumentals. In addition it comes with an in-depth liner notes booklet with input from GZA (interviewed by journalist Chris Faraone) as well as artwork reproductions from the original release and singles.
The GZA Chess Box : Vinyl Version also comes with a sticker pack featuring the characters from the cover. Each is separated so they can be arranged how ever you’d like to stick’em.
This also comes with a full-size wooden chess set, which can be played on the chess board printed on the inner lining of the box. All this comes housed in a 13 x 13 x 3 hard case box with a magnetic clasp.

Ugh, Grimey's is going to be swamped! They've already posted pictures on their instragram of some of the orders they got in for RSD and Paramore performing at the store won't help the crowd control any lol

Are you going to be in Nashville anyway because Lost and Found and Disc Exchange in Knoxville both participate. There might be others. Those are just the two that I know.

Lost & Found is my go-to in Knox but I think my sister really wants to meet Paramore lol! I'm just going for the ride & the records
That GZA Liquid Swords Chess Box looks totally awesome and it would've been my first RSD selection if I didn't already have Liquid Swords on vinyl. Argh! Hopefully it comes it comes with the track "Bible" for those who do purchase it, as my standard non-RSD edition did not. My copy came with a poster of the album art so I'm happy enough with that.
Anyway, on RSD day I'll be looking to get one of these, fingers crossed
Phish - Lawn Boy Notorious BIG - Ready to Die The Roots - Things Fall Apart
and I just saw this advertised for RSD...the Dazed and Confused Soundtrack
