How do you buy these Record Store Day releases? I need that Madonna 12” https://recordstoreday.co.uk/rsd-list/madonna/
By being front of the queue at a store stocking it come RSD! Or by being lucky and finding it left and on sale someplace afterward
Is there a way of knowing where it will be stocked or are all the stores getting stock of all the titles?
I used to call my local stores - some know what they’ll get and will at least give you a target store to visit. I got to one an hour early few years ago and still at least 15 ahead of me. Happy enough with what I got but bit of a scrum to get near the goodies… after this treat this year if I can make it to one https://recordstoreday.co.uk/rsd-list/camera-obscura/
Have to confess I don't know a lot of these but always nice to see The Kids From Fame. 1982 is just a bit before my time but I'm really looking forward to seeing the tracklists for the NOW Yearbook Extras for 87-89.
Thank god they got the original release date correct...drives me nuts when even the bloody act themselves doesn't know or makes the usual mistake of going by chart entry dates.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor's first four albums are getting re-releases on formats other than vinyl. They're coming via Plastic Pop who did the recent Nicola Roberts re-release. There aren't too many bonuses on each album but it'll be nice to have the B-sides together. https://www.plasticpop.co.uk/sophie-ellis-bextor/the-seb-cd-bundle
Other than in Oxfam, Help The Age, Cancer Uk, and Mind, i hate it when you have to go around all the chazzer shops to see them.
Tbh a copy of Make a Scene with an unmixed version of Dear Jimmy is my main draw! But the six bonus tracks on ‘…Fantastic’ might warrant a purchase too
Trip is definitely the one that excites me the most although for UK PJers it only has four bonus tracks really as Can't Have It All (which is actually one of my favourite Trip songs) and Supersonic were on the original UK release.
Most of the previous Madonna RSD releases are still available in quite a few record stores. But perhaps because this one isn't just an exact reissue, it might be more sought after indeed.
