My Humble Record Store Day Suggestions

[@rocdocs]

Good suggestions~! My suggestion: Sebadoh Early Years Box. The Beastie Boys one would be HUGE.

oooooh Sebadoh! Hell yes. You're right, many of us want that Beastie's record.

Red Headed Stranger is an excellent call. Throw in Yesterday's Wine and Shotgun Willie, as well. I'd like to see a bigger focus on JA music - a box set from Crab or Treasure Island or Gay Feet or a re-release of Lee Perry's Arkology on vinyl.

I 100% agree on the Jamaican music - I have plans for the next video that include some from my favorite reggae and ska. RSD won't listen anyway so I may as well go big, right?

The record store owners that I have spoken to say that over 90% of RSD releases do not go up in price. Just wait a bit. There are so many things that would make great RSD releases. Instead of records like Bad Girls that can be found used. I have the first 15 Morrissey 12” singles. I would love to see a Ramones 90’s boxset. They had 3 studio albums and 1 live album in the 90’s. They aren’t the best albums but are hard to find.

That's my new strategy for RSD, although it was often kind of cool getting to hang out in line with other record collecting obsessives - but you're right. I sit around and think of what I would like for RSD that's why I'll probably make a few of these - you should get a list together and do one, Rich. I'd be interested to see it. I agree 100% on the 90's Ramones box set, I bought the one they released a couple years back but I would definitely get the 90's , too. Also, if those Morrissey records are just taking up space, I know a guy who would give you a fair price.

I’ve never participated in a record store day. Not because I’m against it or anything dramatic, I’ve just always been a used record store collector since the 80s. Daniel Ash DJ at a party with you. I hope you have a good story. Ian McCulloch box set would be nice. I would never pay $100 for any record despite the fact that I like that Duran Duran album. ✌️

[@DaddyRich71]

I used to enjoy it because I rarely in real life ever get to talk to anyone who loves records or music in general like I do. But I really buy about 90% used records and will walk out if I go to a record store that only carries new product. Daniel Ash was so kind and funny as me and my friend Dave were fawning. It was a huge party (Dave's 40th birthday in 2009) and we seemed to be the only 2 who knew who the hell he was - or we were just the only 2 losing our shit over it. I hear you on the Duran Duran record, that why I want the re-release - $100 was for VG condition, too - that's insane.

@@DaddyRich71 I'm heading up to Gloucester, MA this Saturday to go shopping at a cool store called Mystery Train. It's easily over an hour's drive but will be worth it. I'll likely do a video on what I find up there. It's also a very pretty seaside town, even though it is bitter cold right now.

@@MGKBOSTON I feel that cold, it's been snowing pretty steady out here for a couple days, maybe not New England heavy snow but still. Be safe and looking forward to the video, Mike.
