- Sun King12 years 7 months agolove me some record store days!and as for the limited copies, my guess is they don't want their product collecting dust on the shelves, that's how you lose money. i think it was rhino who put out a 3000 addition big star vinyl record a year ago. it was gone all over the country immediately and was on ebay by the afternoon. should they have made more, or was it done perfectly? there is a lot to be said about supply and demand...
- danc12 years 7 months agosupport your local record storeLast year's record store day promo was cool mono 1st GD LP), but languished at J&R here in NYC for at least a month. And I saw copies online at list price or less for weeks. Great cause. I don't know what I would do without good record stores.
- gratefaldean12 years 7 months agoNot all of the stuff sellsMy local record store still has a couple of copies of the Doors "LA Woman" singles box from last fall's Record Store Day...at $49.95 for four 7" vinyl records, what do you expect? On the other hand, I've yet to walk into the place and been able to find the advertised items that grabbed my attention prior to the promotion...and I've yet to walk out empty-handed. As bait-and-switch strategies go, this one doesn't seem to bother me in the least.
