CRAZY $1400 RSD Black Friday Record Haul!

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Consume consume consume, keep trying to fill that hole that can never be filled, pile it all in there.😂

[@VinylLatte]

[@markhorsburgh]

For me the record that is gonna be the highest sorted after in years to come from this RSD will be Surfbeat. I have not seen anyone mention it and it is a great album.

[@VinylLatte]

Nice callout. I don't recall seeing The Challengers at my record store. Was this an Europe release?

[@markhorsburgh]

@VinylLatte no I don't think so. I think it was just printed in very low numbers.

[@arilderiksen5560]

Great grabs, so fun to see you pick up all the live albums, i should not buy anything in this rsd but i order Van Halen when you talk nice about it🤣🤣🤣, fan from Norway.

[@VinylLatte]

Thank you! I hope you enjoy that Van Halen album 😉

[@andybartolotta8932]

“I got talked into.” Great haul, Phil!

[@jem550]

FOMO - share this video with all of your friends who have a fear of missing out. Wow, just wow. I am living vicariously through your purchases

[@VinylLatte]

Thank you! 🫣😂

[@dylantocco886]

This is insane 😂

[@VinylLatte]

I know! 🤦😂

[@vinylrichie007]

If you don’t have any live Allman Brothers you need to get Fillmore East.

[@VinylLatte]

Great call out. I've been hunting for a 1977 Terre Haute pressing that came in a gatefold with 2x LPs. Is there another pressing you recommend keeping an eye out for?

[@vinylrichie007]

The MoFi version is great.

[@forcefin]

This is now officially my “must watch” post-rsd video from now on. Simply inspiring. 👍👍👍

[@VinylLatte]

Wow, thanks! Glad to have you! Hopefully you were able to score some great albums yourself?!

[@forcefin]

@@VinylLatteyup I did. But most are non-RSD titles that I don’t own yet. Going back tomorrow to see what’s left and will pick up few more. Cheers!

[@VinylLatte]

Awesome! Good luck and happy hunting! 😉👍

[@davepounds8924]

You’re nuts!!!!

[@toddthemod]

Great video! Just subbed! I do like rarities but only with groups I really like! Loved watching and looking forward to watching more!

[@VinylLatte]

Thanks Todd! I appreciate the sub, and welcome you to the community! Question: how often do you respin a rarities album? Is there one that you play more than a standard studio press?

[@toddthemod]

@ I would say I spin a rarities album maybe a couple times a year if it’s a good rarities. I don’t play it more than the studio pressing though. Just did a RSD video as well but didn’t get nearly what you did. You got a great haul!

[@VinylLatte]

Awesome! I will be sure to check it out during my next watch session 🙌

[@loonacy4]

Great haul! I thought it was funny that early on you said you really don't care for live albums then you showed tons of live albums lol. Record store gets you (and all record lovers like me) every time!

[@VinylLatte]

I know, right?! I really tried to avoid them but I got sucked into the hype. 🤦

[@shanestephenson8423]

Nice Hall mate, well done, and yes, you are sick but I'm happy to be that kind of sick myself 😂

[@VinylLatte]

😂😂😂 that’s why we mates 😉

[@shanestephenson8423]

@VinylLatte lol, yeah 😆

[@whatevahz531]

When you do not really like live albums but walk out of the shop on RSD with like 90 percent live albums.

[@VinylLatte]

RIGHT?! This is what I get for being in line early and listening to hours of people telling me how good these performance were 🤦🤣

[@graybeardsnation]

So from our pre-RSD video a couple weeks back, your total was predicated to be around 3 or 4 hundred dollars - what happened ??? 😂. Your a cool guy Louis - thanks for joining us on the live stream. Now... with your HUGE collection of records, there is something we just need to know - if you started today, and listened to every one of your albums, how many months (years??) would it take? 😁

[@VinylLatte]

How many licks would it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? 3 of course! 😉😂 I had an AWESOME time with you guys, and blame you two for at least 4-5 unplanned adds! I can’t wait to hang out with you guys again soon! Do I hear a Gray Beards + Vinyl Latte listening session?!? 😳

[@larryketzes5582]

Loved hanging with you during the live feed Louis! Wow, 1400. Yikes!

[@VinylLatte]

I had GREAT time hanging with you too buddy! And shhh, don’t stay the amount too loud, the wife might hear 🫣😂

[@Vampyreonline]

Tell me your rich without telling me your rich...

[@VinylLatte]

[@intergroovedistortion7787]

You always go all in on RSD.

[@VinylLatte]

I know, I know! I really didn’t want to this time! 🤦🤦🤦

[@flamingroove]

The 8 x LP Hendrix Box Set came out in 2019 and was available for some time. I bought it new in 2022. I did not get quite the haul that you showed, but I got 11 RSD titles (25 discs) & 2 new & 11 used (27 discs) for just under $865.

[@VinylLatte]

Sounds like you had a great haul yourself! What are some of your personal highlights? Thanks on the box set!! I’m jumping to Discogs as we speak to add it to the list. Since you own the set, how does it sound?!

[@flamingroove]

@@VinylLatte The box set sounds better than the OG I got back when it came out. I just recorded my video. The OG is a single disc, the box set is 8. sounds great, but it is a subpar 2 shows. He got Mitch Mitchel back in the band by the time I got to see Jimi live. May 30, 1970 late show Berkeley Community Theatre. I was just 21 back then, riots were happening about some social injustice etc. So the only show I saw was pressed on LP. I am looking forward to the 5 x LP + Blu Ray Electric Ladyland set that just came out. Better sidemen. I would suggest listening to the single disk you got before you drop big bucks on the box. 4 shows over two nights.

[@VinylLatte]

Pretty awesome that the show you saw was pressed! I’d love to see your reaction when you found out that the only show you saw was being released as an album. That hasn’t happened to me yet, but I’d definitely pick up whatever album it was if it did 😉 Thanks for the information on the box. I’ll plan to follow your suggestion. Happy spinning!

[@paulmcloughlin9913]

It's good that you got stuff for me in the uk the list was not only very poor but the two items I would have I already so I didn't go this time hopefully april will be better selection

[@VinylLatte]

Sorry the list wasn’t good in the UK. Hopefully the main event next year brings you better picks!

[@carjo512]

wow some real heat for record stores Black Friday . Hope they sound good. as for demo recordings it has to a band I love such as violent Femes first one that outtakes and live stuff on it, also bought a radio live broadcast record .

[@VinylLatte]

I’m hoping they sound good too 😉😂 See, for bands you love, it’s fun. But I think you really need to love the band, or at least the album, to listen to a rarities record more than once.

[@booieaguilar4792]

That Joe Bataan is the truth! I have a budget lol, but I was able to get what I wanted. Young Curtis Mayfield compilation. Joe Bataan-Riot. Both of them are amazing soul records

[@VinylLatte]

Glad you got what you wanted (and stayed in budget, hopefully 😉) I’m seriously looking forward to the Joe Bataan. My other albums from him are straight 🔥 I hope you enjoy the tunes!

[@SaraDixon-zm2bs]

Cracked me up..

[@VinylLatte]

🤦🤷😂

[@lukeproductionspresents6276]

Great video! re. rarities, yah, I think I am inconsistent. I like them in two main circumstances; one where its one of my favourite bands (e.g., recent Galaxie 500 Uncollected 2LP), and one where I think the original LP is over-produced. I guess the latter can across as elitist ("I liked them before they got popular"), but the reality is I love when a band is still close to their source of inspiration/straining at the edge of their capabilities (and willing to take chances) more than when they are perfectly accomplished (and, to me, boring). All that said; WOW. a full crate of new stuff. Man, you much get annihilated on the proper RSD when there are 4-5x more releases.... good on ya! Keep going!

[@VinylLatte]

Thank you! Great example in when a rarities album may be worth spinning. For me, it’s ultra rare if I respin a rarities after I listen to it once. But, I can get on board with what you’re saying about liking the mastering of the rarities more than the studio release. If that’s the case, that would be my go-to record for that album and it would get spun a lot more. As for the next RSD… I’m already starting to save a budget. 😂😂😂

[@MitchsVinylCorner]

That’s one hell of a haul my man lol. I met Phil at the Wilmington record show a few months ago and he is definitely a solid dude. Since your in coastal Carolina are you going to the original Washington record show next weekend and the record show in Raleigh on the 15th?

[@VinylLatte]

Hey Mitch! Didn’t realize you’re local 😂. I won’t be attending any more shows this year (I spent enough at RSD and still have records on order 😉). Besides, the Little Washington show is a bit far for me and on the 15th I’ll be at the Raleigh Brewing Company for their holiday show, supporting my wife’s crafting business. I may bring a box or two of records to sell if she’ll allow me a little space 😂. I hope RSD treated you well. Were you able to grab some good titles?!

[@MitchsVinylCorner]

@ I’m in the Jacksonville area so not that far from you. I did not participate in RSD this year because I received the Rhino Hi-Fi Doors box set today. Just finished the first half of the my video where I do the unboxing which will then be followed by the review. Listened to the first three albums so far and I’m very happy.

[@VinylLatte]

That not terribly far! Do you ever make it to any shows in the Triangle?! I’m hoping to hit the Wilmington show next year (if they still have it). I’m sure my wife will enjoy a couple hours on the beach while I dig through some records 😂😉 Awesome to hear you snagged the box. I totally missed this one! 🤬 I’ll pick up the singles if they release them like they did with the ZZ Top box. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts on them!

[@MitchsVinylCorner]

@ I’ll be going to the Triangle one on the 15th, my second time that show. Plus there are some great stores like Hunky Dory, Sorry State and Skoolkids that I’ll stop by to as well

[@ConcertBuddie]

Bigger question - what DIDN'T you grab this RSDBF? (This is a joke). Enjoy watching all the way through. Cheers

[@VinylLatte]

😂😂 well, funny you should ask… I did order a few titles online that my record store didn’t have. Waiting to see if they come in🤞 Did you pick up anything??

[@ConcertBuddie]

@ I did. Went in thinking three things, but got bit by the “well, THAT is still here” kind of moment while flipping…and grabbed 6. Seems the Better Than Ezra, Ramones, & Kacey Musgraves were the “must” have titles in my area. ✌🏻

[@VinylLatte]

Great choices! How does the Kacey sound? I had it and put it back when I saw it was pressed on eco vinyl. They can be very hit or miss in the sound department.

[@ConcertBuddie]

@@VinylLatte missed out on that one. I did end up getting the Ramones from a store that was selling at the local record show yesterday. So two out of three ain't bad 🙂

[@groovingyourway]

ADDED! (RSD Y'alls Hauls 2024 playlist:) kzbin.info/aero/PLLOcJImG-vEenhMZ1uvBQUhng2zzqNYrD&si=QJrJKifUHdqyAynz PS did you just win RSD Black Friday 🤯 you're always so great - keep on groovin your way -mark

[@VinylLatte]

Thanks Mark! 💙 Curious on your scores for the day! Looking forward to your video drop 😉

[@CurtisBond]

Holy crap, man! You’re in Wilson too?!?! I love going to Phil’s in Wilson! I went to the Pour House in Raleigh. EDIT: LOL! And you got the one record that I went out in the cold to get, which was the Better Than Ezra. Got my copy too, and it was one of only five at Pour House.

[@VinylLatte]

Hey neighbor 👋😂 I’m actually in Clayton, but I really appreciate Phil and Philip and everything they do for their customers. It’s my go-to local store and my RSD home-base! How was Pour House for RSD? Do they have a good system? I can’t believe how rare Deluxe has been. I looked on Discogs last night and it’s already selling for $120. Crazy. Being a RSD First, I hope they repress this soon and make it more readily available. It’s such a great album, and people deserve to have it in their collection without spending $100-400 on a copy. (Apologies for the rant.) I’m glad you got your copy! Pick up any other titles that you’re looking forward to spinning?

[@CurtisBond]

@@VinylLattelol. No, I totally get the rant. I feel very similarly and was quite irked to see it already getting listed at hundreds of dollars on Discogs mere hours after it was available. Like you said, it’s an RSD First, so hopefully we’ll see a wider release down the line so people can get their hands on it without paying a fortune. Pour House was great! They had all their RSD releases lined up on the far side of their store and had arrows that directed everyone into a single-file line. That way everyone could flip once they got to the first crate. It was very organized and kept the whole thing from turning into a free-for-all. Love Pour House, and I go to them more than almost any other local. Far as other releases I got, I picked up Earl Sweatshirt’s “Feet of Clay”, the Ramones Greatest Hits, and John Lee Hooker’s “Don’t Turn Me From Your Door”. Really excited to listen to them all, but especially the Ramones. Been looking to get more into them and hoping this will work as something of a primer.

[@VinylLatte]

It sounds like you and I are similar minded when it comes to Deluxe😉 I need to stop in and spend time at Pour House. When I head into Raleigh, I usually hit the used book store at the Glenwood circle (they sometimes have great records there), Nice Price, and Honky Dory. I haven’t spent much time at Schoolkids, Record Krate, or Sorry State. One day, I want to do a Raleigh loop and hit all of them in a day… an official grail hunting day, if you will. Anyway, I’ve gone off again. Great picks! The early reviews of the Ramones Greatest Hits are coming in favorable, which I’m glad to hear as I was worried about the runtime on this single LP. I’d like to know your thoughts on the Earl Sweatshirt and John Lee Hooker. I ordered John online, but haven’t pulled the trigger on Earl yet. I picked up Doris from Vinyl Me, Please earlier this year and it sounds good. Mastered well, dynamic, I couldn’t be happier with it. Happy listening!

[@rl9817]

Kacey Musgraves is the only record that mattered

[@VinylLatte]

The record looked cool! I hope you were able to grab it and enjoy it!

[@fizzlebomber674]

you went pretty nuts but at least you didn't buy the Lone Survivor sdtk, or did you?

[@VinylLatte]

Did NOT! See, I have some restraint 😉😂

[@SaraDixon-zm2bs]

You like 90s and did not get Helmet!!!??

[@VinylLatte]

I have the IVC reissue that came out recently 😉👍

[@fizzlebomber674]

that raekwon follows in the footsteps of the godfather 3 which its based off of. Both are pretty lackluster. I had the CD as a kid and it had maybe two decent tracks. So how in the heck did someone think that should be reissued? its a road apple

[@VinylLatte]

😂😂

[@TheMadKollektah]

See that's why i try to avoid RSD...and their exclusives are not that bomb either. Gotta get my hands on that new Czarface somewhere down the line though. Czarface is a must.

[@VinylLatte]

I don’t blame you! 😉 A lot of stores posting their extra stock online at 8 AM today. Might be worth searching on Shopify or RSDMRKT. Happy hunting!

[@Therazorschannel]

If you spend $1400 at a record store you shouldn’t have to wait in line. You should be able to go through the back door 5 minutes before the store opens and leave after you get your records.
