Today's haul, pretty happy! First store didn't have any of the folk box set, thankfully were kind enough to tell me another store nearby had some. Wanted the Pogues with Joe Strummer disc but both stores ran out.
I woke up at 930, ate breakfast, and headed for various local stores. I just got home.
Stop 1: The Record Exchange, Salem MA - 10:03 AM The Zombies - Odessey & Oracle (180g, out of a run of 2500) Dresden Dolls - Dresden Dolls (numbered, #450, out of a run of 3000, on red/black swirl vinyl) Lake Street Dive - What I'm Doing Here / Wedding Band 7" The Standells - Dirty Water / Twitchin' 7" (clear vinyl)
Stop 2: Newbury Comics, Peabody MA - 10:41 AM The Cure/Dinosaur Jr. - Just Like Heaven Side-By-Side 7" (white vinyl) Chuck Inglish x Chromeo - Legs 7" (blue vinyl) Chuck Inglish x Action Bronson - Gametime 7" (yellow vinyl) Chuck Inglish x Ab-Soul & Mac Miller - Easily 7" (green vinyl) Regina Spektor - You've Got Time 7" (clear orange vinyl) Tears for Fears - Ready Boy & Girls? 10" (white vinyl, cover of "My Girls" b/w covers of "Ready to Start" and "Boy from School") Dinosaur Jr. - Visitors box set (numbered 5x7" set of early Dinosaur Jr. singles, and previously unseen art)
Stop 3: Newbury Comics, Saugus MA - 11:18 AM no RSD exclusives, but they had a Newbury Comics exclusive. A yellow-black swirl vinyl of "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)", from a pressing of 1000. I got #601.
Stop 4: Newbury Comics, Burlington MA - 12:05 PM Chuck Inglish x Chance the Rapper 7" (pink vinyl)
The only thing on my pull list that I did not get was the Ghostbusters 10". I saw the Mayer Hawthorne Triangle record but it was like $30 and fuck that noise. Also saw one copy of the LCD Soundsystem box set. Most prevalent thing was probably the Notorious BIG release.
Total damage was about $215, with the Visitors set being the one that put me over budget by a bit. I was gonna get the Fishbone s/t on red vinyl but I opted for the Wu-Tang LP instead because it is a better record that I love much more

Fairly modest this year. Didn't get to the shop until 11 because of my slumbering girlfriend, so I missed out on the more in demand items (I need that Tame Impala, dammit), but I'm happy with my haul.
Albert Ammons Cults (live, analog recorded, for the gf) Flaming Lips/DEVO split Mystery Split (Love/Rush) Heavens to Betsy reissue Flaming Lips 24 hour song Whirlwind Heat (produced by Jack White) Fuzz (not rsd but I needed it) GWAR patch (free)
Intensely jealous of the hauls I'm seeing here. Good work. I'll need to ditch the gf and go early next year.

Here was what I ended up with:
Flaming Lips - 7 Skies H3 Cut Copy - In these arms Grateful Dead - Live Hampton '79 Broken Bells - Holding on for life Langhorne Slim & The Law - Animal Spanish Gold - Out On The Street Ray Lamontagne - Supernova Deer Tick - Eel Bowel White Denim - A Place to Start Conor Oberst/Dawes - Million Dollar Bill
I really really wanted the Tame Impala, Frank Zappa 7", Flaming Lips/Devo 7", Charles Bradley, and Conor Oberst 7" but oh well. The Ghostbusters one was also something I really wanted but couldn't find. If I had more money and got up earlier I probably would have gotten the Notorious B.I.G. and Creedence Clearwater Revival LPs.
I saw the Lips/Devo and Zappa 7"s all over the place
Anyone know of any sites that are selling RSD stuff yet? Besides Ebay? My local store will be putting stuff up on their site tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. but I wasn't sure where else to look.

Woah, I was visiting family and I did the same run as you for the first two stores.
Salem Record Exchange -10:03 Mudhoney - On Top of the Space Needle Jaco Pastorious - The Criteria Sessions
Newbury Comics, Peabody MA - 10:25 (approx) Off! - Learn to Obey ($10 for a single, how punk!) Fela Kuti - Se E Tun De/Waka Waka Death - III Heavens to Besty - Calculated Black Milk - Glitches in the Break Nick Cave/Warren Ellis - West of Memphis OST Rough Guide to Latin Rare Groove Breadwinner - The Burner
Only title I wanted that I missed were Rough Guide to Psych Bollywood, Fucked Up's Year of the Dragon, Django Django's 7", Noisem's 7" and Mike Watt's 7". The Sun Ra, Biggie and LCD Sounsystem releases were too expensive for my tastes. Afterwards I swing by Mystery Train in Gloucester that evening and I had to cut a whole bunch of great Jazz records from my haul (I will buy you for less than $12.50 on day, "On the Corner") Ended up with:
Frank Zappa - (') Apostrophe Ladysmith Black Mabazo - Thandani Charles Mingus & Friends (w Dizzy Gilespie) - Live in Concert (1972)
Also, I picked up Milkman by Deerhoof and General Dome by Buke and Gase for 40% off earlier in the week. I'd better clear some time to listen to all of this stuff
(1) Damon Albarn (2) Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds (3) King Khan & His Shrines (4) Ty Segall (5) Ms Lauryn Hill (6) Darkside (7) Kanye (8) Janelle Monae (9) Goat (10) Meshuggah.
I went to the Newbury Comics in Bellingham (MA) around 3:30 pm. RSD isn't too fun when you don't have a turntable. I wish there were some special releases also on CD along with the vinyl versions. I was looking at Death III, but I didn't want to pay $16 for it.
If you live in the Boston area and are still looking for items, check with far flung locations such as Bellingham or Leominster. Bellingham had a fair amount of items still when I was there.

There are some CD releases but definitely nothing near the amount of the vinyl. It's weird when vinyl is more prominent than the CD. I think there were a few different cassette singles this year too but I wasn't paying attention to those.
For those unlucky enough to miss out on the Tame Impala album, here's a digitized torrent of LIVE VERSIONS And how is this the first I'm hearing of LSD's new single??

I got Outkast - Southernplayalsticadillacfunkymuzak, Tame Impala live, Jimi Hendrix Live from Monterrey Pop Festival, Father John Misty - The History of Caves score (I want to say that was from last year...), Haim - Forever single and Disclosure - Apollo single. I passed on Bonobo's Late Night Tales, the live Dead release and Man Man because I hit my spending limit. Going to go back next week after I get a paycheck to pick up an LCD Soundsystem box set. They said they had plenty (and, you know, it's getting re-released...).
We also got a free reusable bag, a t-shirt, a coffee mug, a pin and some stickers just for shopping at Criminal Records. And I got to see Cloud Nothings perform a short set which was awesome. All around a good day of fun.
Here is the shirt. The same design is on the bag and the mug.

Whore didn't get release from the hospital until after 430pm, so we missed out on the Slint box set he wanted. Did pick up Spoon and Pinback.
On admission he had to sign something stating that if he were to leave the building to smoke etc, UKMC was not responsible if anything happened outside of the unit. I asked if that meant that I could sneak him off to RSD early AM to get in line. The nurse laughed. I don't think he understood that was a serious question.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
Bummed that my record store had so much EXCEPT Jake Bugg live in Seattle
Listen, next RSD we all need to get better at this. Even at 430pm, the record store I went to still had this available in mass quantity. Along with a few other things people were looking for but missed. Fact of the matter is, each record store asks for a certain number of each release, and gets what comes their way. So we could really help each other out in the future if we start a group message system or something to communicate in real time. Deal?
