I'm hoping for the Nat King Cole live set on both LPs and CDs.

I usually want more titles from the Black Friday RSD.

[Electric Moo]

I'm looking forward to that Gil Scott Heron

 

[fredblue]

if i don't have any work on Saturday, i'll drag my carcass down to Rough Trade and see if they have any of Elton's Caribou
if not, i'll have to resort to some (no doubt inflated ) online place like i have with every other EJ RSD release which has sold out instantly!

Well, there is this, on smoky green vinyl:

I think I'll stop by the local record store just for the vibe.
Likely will just walk and look around.
Will hit the used CD section with my Discogs app and if there are any used CD's that interest me I'll look up the # on the Discogs app and see if it is an original, or whatever version it might be.
Sometimes on Google I'll type "what is the best CD version of___________" and lots of times the index will pop up a thread on the Steve Hoffman forum and I'll get a clue or two.
Listening now as I write=INXS-Listen Like Thieves.

Last of the Living Byrds with the Marty Stuart Band.

• Collective Soul - Dosage (25th Ann. Edition)
• Mark Knopfler - The Boy EP
• Ladytron - Light & Magic

And WRTI's Nate Chinen highlights another Resonance Records release by Art Tatum:

(I'm not a vinyl guy, so although I'll be supporting my local independent record store this weekend, I'll also mostly be waiting till the CD versions of these releases appear in a few weeks.)

It looks like Vinyl Tap in Nashville will really be going big for RSD:

I wonder if @timbre4 will be there? If so maybe he can report back.

I actually managed to snag my only must have, 50th Anniversary of Sweetheart of the Rodeo tour, at an eye popping price. I was about 8th in line at my local shop. I can only imagine what they will go for on eBay now.

Looks like a very well organized day indeed. Since I'm already bursting at the seams and not doing vinyl I will cheer them on from the sidelines.

How much is that little Beatles record player selling for? I already see people reselling them for $500+.

I see on Crosley's site it is listed at 179.99

Sweetheart of the Rodeo Live I see on eBay now for $175, about double the retail of this morning.

You'll never guess who was first at his local record store!
