I plan on hitting up a store or 2 and will keep an eye out for Junta and any other records yinz are looking for.

What stores? Im going to head to Attic Records before their midnight opening. Did you go there late year? Any tips? I've only been to Jerry's on RSD.

I plan to hit up The Exchange in Monroeville and maybe Attic. I've been to Attic Records a couple times but not on RSD. They're definitely the best record store I've been to, I always have to put a bunch of stuff back on the shelves or I'd spend way too much dollar there. Do you mean they open at midnight tonight? I won't be able to swing that so no advice there. The Exchange has a bunch of locations in and around Pittsburgh, and are a RSD participating store. They have a fairly small vinyl selection but it's pretty quality considering. That's where I got my MMJ pic discs weeks later after RSD as well as the Friends Again 7".
That's motherfuckin' John Oates!

I'll let you know how I do. I hope to get a few things. We'll see if I'm lucky.

My trip for RSD was well worth the wait. I went to Attic Records at 10pm lastnight and waited for 2 hours for them to open. I was 10th in line and most of the people in front of me were looking for the Phish release. There were people lined up around the block by the time they opened. I got in and found:

Uncle Tupelo - the seven inch singles ltd.#1593 (only 6 copies there)
Bruce Springsteen - Rocky Ground (they had probably 20 copies there)
New Multitudes 10 inch EP (probably 8 copies there)
M. Ward - Primitive Girl (there was only one copy of this and I got it. I really wanted the Eddie Vedder 45 but they didn't have it. Mostly every 45 was in the same bid I was looking at first. Which was nice.)
Leonard Cohen - Live in Frederiction EP (it was $10 and I always liked this stuff but never got any on vinyl)

After that I checked out which took half an hour. There was a ton of people there. Great turn out and I got all that I wanted. Good luck to everyone today!

originally they didn't even put it out! the newbury comics i went to (faneuil hall) did a poor job managing RSD this year. so they were a couple i guess.

ps listening to the new multitudes release. the empty bed blues demo is hauntingly good.

I made it out so late all I ends up getting were The Flaming Lips Heady Fwends and The Flaming Lips/Mastadon Split. I also got non-RSD releases though. The Alamaba Shakes LP and a Pearl Jam/REM split 7" and a PJ Alive 7"

All I got was the James Brown and the MC5 singles. The store I hit didn't have anything else I was looking for (GG Allin and The Bronx split). My friend at Amoeba in LA said they didn't even get the Wilco box there. Funny enough his dad was one of the first in line at the store I went to and he got the only one they had there. Starting to think this is turning into a cash grab unfortunately, with the pressings so low and the demand so high for some of this stuff.

no no..sorry.  just the black vinyl.  just picked it up with the other stuff.

Dude ganked the Shabazz Palaces from under my nose and the Jeff the Brotherhood went right away.  Just glad (though I wasn't worried about it) that I snagged a Mississippi John Hurt, which I am currently spinning 8)

I didn't make it to Attic Records today but found most of what I was looking for at The Exchange. I got there at 12:30 today and was surprised to see the Junta Pollock edition. Right after I snagged it up they called someone back to let them know it was sold and a lady came in looking for it for her daughter. She had been to several record stores looking for it and tried buying it from me. I had to wait til they opened some more boxes up to find Headdy Fwends. The Stripes/Jack White 45's aren't RSD releases. They didn't have the Stipes swirled vinyl I was looking for. I'm going to keep Junta sealed up and will consider selling.

That's motherfuckin' John Oates!
