Crawfie Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Anyone partake in the annual RSD or should I call it “try and buy records before the profit makers put them on eBay “ day . I managed to get a copy of Motörhead’s St Valentines Day Massacre 10” pic disc , buts that’s it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hi Crawfie, explain - What Where When Why Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crawfie Posted June 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well….when record shops were disappearing (mainly independents ) there was still an interest in vinyl . Record Store Day was started to boost sales and keep vinyl “alive “so limited editions of singles , LPs were pressed up and sold on RSD . All sorts of artists had records repressed , songs not seen the light of day were released …..it was great for people like me who never stopped buying vinyl . Some interesting stuff has been released . One day a year , the independents had a stock of rare items to tempt customers back into their stores . As the pressings were limited, the fun soon went out of it as stuff started to end up on eBay for some serious money . Big queues outside shops …..It has got worse since vinyl has become the big thing again . Have a look at EBay - RSD 2021 . Covid has resulted in RSD drops . Instead of one day a year , there are two or three . Different items being released On each different “drop “ day . I usually wait a few weeks for the prices to drop ….Motörhead stuff ..seems to hold its price though …. Some pictures of last years “drops” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Thanks Crawfie, I'll keep an eye on that. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) As a matter of interest Crawfie- -what do you play it on ? I still have a Technics SL150 with SME 3009II And Shure V15 III. It was considered a good set-up back in the late 1970's but it's some time since I last played anything on it. Edited June 12, 2021 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobH Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Nice to see a record deck that doesn't resemble avant-guard sculpture. The modern ultra-expensive stuff leaves me cold. Edited June 12, 2021 by RobH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
