Record Store Day April 20 2024

Record Store Day, April 20 - I checked out my local record shop for this record store day, I figured not a lot of people would be there. I was surprise to see they had a line, not too long, just the right amount to talk me into waiting with the kids for RSD.

[@VinylPiper]

Looks like a great family time. Can’t wait to see the kids collection in 20 years :)

[@MonieMuse]

😂 kids are gonna sale my records for sure jk hahaha

[@twofromthetrunk9932]

Enjoyed this wonderful video. I just love how you take your kids with you on your journey. That is better than any record. You are raising a great family.

[@MonieMuse]

Right!. What memories to be a kid from the 20s who went to record stores and stood in line on RSD. 😊

[@MonieMuse]

Happy record store day! Here’s my little adventure this year 🎉

[@ConcertBuddie]

Glad you made it out (and the kids came to boot)! Enjoy the FF ✌🏻Bonus points for keeping the hype sticker 😁

[@MonieMuse]

🤣 thank you, was lucky it all worked out

[@groovingonvintagevinyl7840]

Great video! It looks like you all had fun and found the record you were looking for, you can't beat that.

[@MonieMuse]

yes totally right :)

[@BarakaPDub]

Great video and there is nothing better than getting one really good record on RSD. I applaud you going out with the kids. I couldn't do that with my daughter or wife. They would be bored silly.

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you! I have a feeling you don’t just go in and get a record lol but read the label and give it some good thought, as you should 😊 . Shopping for records w my kids is like a ticking time bomb, gotta get outta there before it goes off lol

[@pulpskate]

I've seen a handful of videos with people getting a nice stack of RSD records, but I think you got away with the greatest experience - what a nice reminder of how powerful a love of music can be when we care for it and give it room. Thank you for that. I wasn't able to get to a record store for RSD, but I went to my local store the day before and found a Letta Mbulu and a King Curtis in the used bins, two artist i love, so that was my contribution to the local record economy. I think there were a lot of interesting releases this year, but ultimately there are many records I would like, so I'm not scrambling for the RSD ones. I might pick up the Gene Clark alternative No Other - the official album means a lot to me and I love when i discover alternative versions that can breath new life into well loved songs.

[@MonieMuse]

That so sweet to hear. Many people walked out with a hand full in front of me, it’s so tempting to get them all, but what matters is getting music that we love! That’s great you found a few the day before, it’s a lot of effort to do RSD, I tried to focus on the experience, especially with the kids, I was ready to walk away if anyone was losing it 😂 thankful I got a beautiful album to enjoy!!

[@blindislind7485]

Great grab, especially the Dylan 👍

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you! Such a cool looking record of dylan I couldn’t pass up

[@groovingyourway]

hey moneimuse - fantastic. definitely gonna showcase this vid in my "yalls hauls" rsd vid upcoming. that Fleet Foxes is SCARY SCARY GOOD I loved every second of it & Robin singing hbd to "half of boston" was hilarious

[@MonieMuse]

😊 right!! the concert I went to he didn’t talk much so I actually enjoyed hearing more from him, showed his personality a little more

[@bigedhaaheo]

Aloha MonieMuse, Awesome ! That you went to record store day. I didn't participate this year, not only because of my seeing abilities but, extra spending money for records. I might have purchased the Grateful Dead box set & the Jerry Garcia box set. That would have been it for me. I really enjoyed rsd in the past & if my eye site was better I would have gone. In Hawaii the prices are always higher because of shipping, I can go to spinmeround Records right now & buy those (2) box sets. Spinmeround Records have them on their website as I text you. Monica thanks for the amazing video & sharing your purchased. Haven't started making bread yet. Need to be able to see better when working around the stove & oven. Looking forward to watching your next video. Mahalo Ed

[@MonieMuse]

Yeah I had just spent my last bit on some pre orders, I gotta sell some of my give away pile and do some side work 😅. Yes rest your eyes!! Oh the bread will always be there lol can’t wait to see you make some

[@davidellis5141]

Hi Monie ! Looked like a fun morning with the kids .. I picked up Lost In Translation soundtrack , Siouxsie & The Banshees live album ( Robert Smith from The Cure is the guitarist on it ) & David Bowie. Wanted this Wall Of Voodoo EP but it was over $40 Dollars & I already have the cd. The stores were busy ! Have a wonderful day 😊

[@MonieMuse]

What great pick ups!! Yeah everyone wanted the lost in translation album, heard many asking for it. I was so tempted to grab David Bowie … my budget was tight this year 🤣

[@dimebagdave77]

This was a fun video, thanks!

[@MonieMuse]

So glad I made it out this year 😄 the cold weather almost kept me away

[@chrisveltman1795]

What a surprise to see this video in my hometown. I gave our store some RSD $ and then went to Nichos too!

[@chrisveltman1795]

And I spent more than I wanted too… Wilco, Nat King Cole & The Pixies! Thank goodness RSD only happens twice per year.

[@MonieMuse]

@@chrisveltman1795 oh awesome! Were you in line early? I jumped in as they opened, the line wasn’t bad at all. Good scores, wish I was a little earlier to get draft punk . Oh Nichos ice cream was a must! 😊😎

[@chrisveltman1795]

@@MonieMuse I got in line at 10 o’clock. Ended up having a great conversation with the gentleman right next to me. It was a fun morning!

[@TheTop40hub]

Glad you got a record that you love and brings back so many great memories. I wanted the America Live At Hollywood Bowl 1975 but it’s not available at the stores near me. Watching other record store day videos and I see it on the wall of the stores. That happened last year also with the one I wanted. It was an Elvis one but I did get it in the summer when I was on a weekend getaway. Maybe that will happen this year. So I still haven’t found what I’m looking for :). Thanks for the video.

[@MonieMuse]

I almost got an OG Elvis record but it was $99!! Crazy how much Elvis records have gotten, glad I have a few, I didn’t know there was a RSD release of Elvis last year- how fun. Last year i worked so hard to find my wish list of RSD, then in six months I saw them at record stores 🤣

[@TheTop40hub]

@@MonieMuse the Elvis RSD last year was a double lp of rehearsals for his 1972 April tour. It was called Burning Love…The RCA Rehearsals.

[@MonieMuse]

@@TheTop40hub wow! Gotta look for it 😍

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Nice sentiments and video!

[@MonieMuse]

😊❤️

[@janbrnholdtlund5478]

I got Fun Boy Three and Northside. I also wanted Tinted Windows, but it wasn’t there. I also bought some non RSD stuff, 1 LP and 3 CDs. So all in all, a nice day.

[@MonieMuse]

Great pick ups 😎 yeah I saw a Bob Dylan album for a good price and had to grab it

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

I would have gone, and I might check out Sundance Books.. They always have cool left-overs. Big reason for not going , I bought a UK press collection of Beatles and other British bands. Fleet Foxes are so so good ! I'm interested in both of the Gene Clark releases, especially the "No Other" release. Your kids are beautiful, Sean turned 10.. What a joy !

[@MonieMuse]

That’s a good idea to kinda look around still, I remember seeing left overs last year. Thank you! Wow 10 years ago, how sweet!! Wish I could have gotten more this year but one is good 😄

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

You had good restraint, and your buys are awesome ! This way you can really dive into these new records ! We were at Tokyo Disneyland for his 10th. We got off the plane from LAX to Tokyo and headed straight for Disneyland ! ( I slept on the plane ) Whew !! ✌

[@MonieMuse]

@@jtsrecordroom3963 that’s awesome!! Disneyland Tokyo is on my list, my husband loves Japan and was there in 2021.

[@jtsrecordroom3963]

Cool ! Your kids would love it ! Spring break was windy, sunny and very cool Temps this year. Sean had a blast !

[@tubinonyou]

If a store participates in RSD, chances are record nuts like you and me will be lining up. I picked up 9 releases on Saturday and passed on the Fleet Foxes album. I regret that now because it's selling for $150. Nice score. Thanks for the video!

[@tubinonyou]

Also, I realize I'm double-commenting but I just had to when I saw you put the hype sticker on your protective sleeve. You are a girl after my own heart with that one. I do that whenever possible and, when the dang thing won't peel, I just cut it out and slip it in the protective sleeve. Nice video. Got me a little teary-eyed toward the end.

[@MonieMuse]

lol, yeah it was fun lining up only cause it wasn’t too bad. Yeah the resale on some records I passed up is high at the moment. Should have gotten David Bowie .

[@MonieMuse]

@@tubinonyou 🤣 yeah I work hard to keep the stickers

[@tubinonyou]

@@MonieMuse I got Bowie, Bill Evans, Grateful Dead, Mingus, Nas, Notorious BIG, Pixies, Talking Heads, and Team Sleep.

[@antwanalston4572]

Props for sharing your experience yesterday of record store day thank God the line wasn't that long if you go for one record that you want that all that matters at the end of the day happy record store day monie muse take care and enjoy your great wonderful Sunday before I go yesterday I watch 2 live streams of record store day on KZbin its amazing seeing a lot of people shopping for vinyl records and cds physical media music is always king one love ❤

[@MonieMuse]

Yeah i planned to not get anything this year, didn’t have extra money, but I tempted myself by looking 😂 glad I got one I really enjoyed. Oh yeah a live stream would be fun

[@mortenaastad796]

Thanks for letting us come with. I got some great music, there were some records they did not get here in Denmark, but one or two I might be able to find some other day/way. Took the train, early, from Skagen to Aalborg, like last year. And yes, there is a video if you want to come with on my trip. Cheers from Morten 😊

[@MonieMuse]

Yeah you’re channel would be interesting to see what it’s like over there for records, gotta check out you’re archives

[@jcb83az]

It was a long but fun morning. I got everything on my list except one album after going to two stores….also re sellers are frustrating. The one I missed out on is well over $100 on eBay

[@MonieMuse]

Love hate relationship with resellers lol , so good you got most on your list. I’m told in a few months the prices might go down on some of the resells .

[@bmhernandez8798]

Very sweet. Thank you.

[@MonieMuse]

😌 😊

[@TheVinylRecordMission]

I’ll behave for Paletas!! 😂 What’s your favorite flavor? I’m so glad you picked up Fleet Foxes! RSD resellers are straight up gangsters 😂 Like it or not vinyl records brings out the hustler in many people. You have so much to be grateful, Monie. When I watch your videos I miss my daughter so much at that young age. I know you cherish the time with you little ones. It goes by so fast. My daughter is 30 now and she’s getting married this October. Time flys. I need a paleta. 😂

[@MonieMuse]

I love coconut 🥥, even as a kid that’s what I always got. Use to be $.50 , now $3.50. Thank you, I’m in a rough season having so many little ones at the same time, they understand to give me a break lol and they love getting out of the house. Congratulations on your daughters marriage, guess what’s next… grand babies 👶 😆

[@TheVinylRecordMission]

@@MonieMuse Do I hear Vinyl Chef Papa!? 😂

[@jeffmo-wd7iq]

Huge turnout in my area (and apparently everywhere it seems online). I think the organizers did a great job of appealing to teens, boomers, alt 80s guys like me, etc. Btw - amphitheater at Boston Harbor is a cool venue if your family ever visits out here! Dinner looked great. Have an asada recipe to share? 😅🌮

[@MonieMuse]

You’re right! RSD totally reached all the generations , loved the unity I saw. Ok it was my first time bbqing 😂 and dinner came out great!!!

[@stevebender4546]

Sweet RSD! Your kids are so awesome and well-behaved. That is great you can take them. You are building music lovers for the future. My RSD was hardcore, get in line at 3am. Get a stack of records. Spend Sunday listening to records. I got the Doors. I did get that Pearl Jam. Chris Isaak and oh Duncan Shiek. I think you would really like Duncan Shiek if you are not familiar. Stream his self titled debut and tell me what you think. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

[@MonieMuse]

Thank you, the kids were on their best behavior, I was so thankful cause I really wanted to get a record. First time hearing Duncan, reminds me of some nice 90s rock music , gonna check out his RSD release. Yeah 3am is not for the faint at heart! 🤣

[@petekutheis3822]

Those inflated prices on line are usually VERY temporary. Ive found record store day stuff years later--say a 40 buck record that was listed on ebay for 70 and then can be had for 30...lol.

[@MonieMuse]

😂 thats encouraging to hear, I’ll seek my daft punk album in a few months

[@joecarrera1799]

First of all, the kids are adorable. My wish for you is that some fellow collector out there sees this and sends you some VCLT. If not, just keep looking. Often those prices go down over time, especially when they can't get any takers for overpriced RSD stuff. I think the record stores involved in RSD aren't allowed to mark up those releases so maybe check different stores in your area, if you have any. Generally watching RSD videos makes me glad I don't do RSD. Happy shopping.

[@MonieMuse]

lol thank you! Next year I gotta plan better, I had just spent my record budget on some pre orders . Good idea on checking the local record stores for left overs! Totally my fault, I didn’t think I was gonna be able to go because my husband was working. Made a deal w the kids to go, glad they let me come home w one record 😇

[@Heartonmysleeve-gj1kp]

I certainly like the track Helplessness Blues from The Fleet Foxes and I also have one or two CDs lying around by Father John Misty I have yet to listen to.

[@MonieMuse]

First time hearing about father John misty!!

[@SONIC-BOOM-TV]

It almost never stays that eBay value after the first week.

[@MonieMuse]

👀 record reselling is a crazy market lol

[@mikeymike7721]

don't worry about what ppl are selling them for online. anyone can list any record for any price; doesn't mean it's worth that much. the resellers are just praying on ppl with FOMO, who didn't get a record, and need it right away. if you didn't "need" the record in line, then what has changed now? enjoy the music, and not the monetary value that some ppl attach to it : ) just my thoughts...

yeah I like that advice :) Glad I opened my record and enjoyed it, other wise what's the point of it all

Fleet Foxes , Another side of Bob Dylan , Fleet Foxes just like alot of sports cards is over priced I wouldn't pay 100.00 for that album. I would pay 5.00 dollars if I really needed that album but no way would I pay 100.00 for that album. your daughter is a fantastic artist? which David Bowie is going for 55.00? which Ramones you said 25.00 but then you mentioned 100? which Grateful dead is going for more than 100.00? what do you think is a fair price for a David Bowie album from the 80's? do you have any of these artist Bruce Springsteen ? my friend saw him in concert with one of his friends up state New York Syracuse Pink Floyd NOT Umba gumba but their other albums? Police? Billy Joel? do you have any of these artist?

[@MonieMuse]

$100 is too much for me for one record, I was surprised I saw it listed as that on eBay. My daughter is a great artist, she loves to paint lol and my face was a work of art at the end of it haha. The David Bowie , Ramones was $25 but on eBay they were going up in price, double. I didn't see how much the grateful dead was originally but online it was listed as $100. Funny how which albums were going for a lot, Elton John album was affordable in person but online going for a lot when I checked. I havent listened to Bruce Springsteen yet, I use to have BillyJoel, good album, Police is fun too
