The 20 minute 2nd CD on LIBN was the equivalent of the bonus "Fly On The Wall" single /EP that came with the LP and that ran at 33. Not too dissimilar to what they did with the 12" EP equivalent on the remixed Let It Be CD box. They could have included those 4 tracks onto another disc instead. Actually the 'Fly' contents could have been put at the end of the main LIBN CD too.

This RSD was a first for me, for the past ten years or so, I’ve had my go to store, as I mentioned previously my store closed after 40 years, earlier this year. Loved that store, was guaranteed to get anything I wanted for RSD. I think there were only maybe four titles that I couldn’t get since RSD started. So I had to go elsewhere. I went to another store, got up early, had to stand in line (even an hour after they opened) but they didn’t have anything I was looking for. So I was watching the Toad Hall live stream and tried my chances there. At about 3 in the afternoon I was able to get thru on the phone and got my order placed. So that was good, but I found my old record store REALLY spoiled me for other stores. As for Tubular Bells, I have this, got it a few years ago for $3. I wasn’t impressed after the first spin, in fact it’s in my trade pile now. I think I should maybe give it another shot before I trade or sell it off!!

I know all of us who listen to vinyl like to get multiple copies of our favorite album so not to wear out the best copy we own. Over the years I have also done this this, but anymore I just listen to me favorite copy that is NM/EX condition. We aren't getting any younger, and also our hearing changes as we get older. In this segment Melinda you mention that you don't want to play your Dark Side Of The Moon 30th Anniversary copy because of wear. Listen to it and enjoy it! You have an awesome sound system and I'm sure your turntable won't wear out the album that fast! Maybe I feel this way because I am quite a bit older now, but I just want to hear the best copy I have before I can't enjoy it as much as I did when I was younger.

I listen 🎧 to a lot of current music. So, I usually buy the vinyl, and CD 💿. I usually play the CD version more. I do buy, a couple different variants sometimes. I think 💭 you probably can guess what artist 🧑🎨 I’m talking about. I do this for I can keep one variant sealed. Play the other one that’s usually the standard version.
@MelindaMurphy5 ай бұрын
You're not wrong. I'm getting older too. I will always play my 30th anniversary copy when I am just sitting there listening. When I am up and around the house, I will play this other copy. Life is too short to not play the best album. 🤗❤️ Thank you and take care.

Nice finds! I picked up the Bowie, Zappa for President, Parliament Osmium and Todd Rundgren Liars at the store on Saturday and then I picked up the Beefheart Spotlight Kid and Yes Live in 1971 on Discogs at bargain prices. The stores didn't have them. I would pick up Let it Be...Naked at RSD. I have the cd and a local store has a vinyl copy and you guessed it....I think it is $300! I can't do that for that one record. You can't go wrong with Mike Oldfield. I think he is a musical genius and he has a large catalog to choose from. TB was his first solo record and he came out of the gate running! Glad you finally have a copy! Great video and take care!

Hi Melinda! I agree with your "Let It Be...Naked" comment. That is the only Beatles album that I do not own on vinyl and I'm patiently waiting for a reissue. I refuse to pay $200 for a copy on eBay. Did Capitol ever release a vinyl edition in the USA? All of the ones I'm aware of are imports. On RSD, I picked up John Lennon's Mind Games EP in glow-in-the-dark vinyl, Ringo's Crooked Boy in B&W marble vinyl, George Harrison's Wonderwall and Electronic Sound picture discs; and The Doors live in Konserthuset, Stockholm on blue vinyl. Oh, and Ommadawn is another good Mike Oldfield album.

About the Bowie: The Bowie estate owns the albums that used to be on RCA and licenses them to Parlophone/Warners. The label design replacing the label logo "RCA" with the stylized name "Bowie" was the decision of those who put together this compilation, which is basically a version of Ziggy Stardust that didn't make the cut. The songs that were not on Ziggy have been released elsewhere, and the versions of the songs from Ziggy are the same as the original album. Hard pass for me, I prefer the original. Nice that you enjoyed it, though.

On my podcast we were discussing how many Dark Side albums does a person need. lol. Yes I bought it and now all these other classic rock group can do this same thing with their albums and charge you for two, just you wait and see. I have no understanding on the Beatles 3”, would you actually listen to that over a record? Another open door for more RSD 3” releases. I did just trade in my OG of that Amboy Dukes album. Always a pleasure to hang out with you Melinda. All the stuff should be arriving this weekend. I have never seen the Exorcist, I just can’t watch demon possession movies, nope, can’t do it

Yes, we will see more releases like Dark Side and the 3" singles. Lol. I think most people will just display the little turntable and records. I doubt they get played a lot.

In the end i did not decide to buy or flip and i was almost dissapointed at myself for even thinking to do so.

The store I went to had only 30 Lps left over from RSD the day after. They were a few more $$ over comps, but not as much as all the high prices online. So I bought nothing RSD, just a Smiths LP Reissue. Someone found a decent DSOTM copy at a Goodwill and I found an empty cover. I happened to find the record in another part of the store and spent only $1.29 last year.

I didn’t camp out overnight nor was I in line before they opened at 8:00 am on RSD Saturday morning. I just didn’t want to wait for hours in line outside in the cold. I’m getting too old for that. However on a whim, I drove downtown around 10:00 am and the line seemed short enough. I got in line for 45 minutes outside. I could handle that. I assumed that most of the exclusive records I wanted would be gone. I was surprised to find they still had all of them that I really wanted except for the one Jim Croce final tour live album that I’ll search for on the aftermarket. The big surprise was finding this limited edition David Bowie "Waiting in the Sky" exclusive release album for $25 that was already selling on eBay for over $100 on Saturday. I also picked up two Yardbirds albums with Eric Clapton, a blues album from 1963 with Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Memphis Slim, and Sonny Boy Williamson, and a previously released Ringo Starr album from a past RSD. Pretty good haul. I'm still looking for the Jim Croce Final Tour Live album, but it is going for $100 to $200 on Discogs and eBay right now. Outrageous.
