Record Store Day con..., by iamzero on Apr 21, 2014 13:52:10 GMT 1, Just read a stack of twitter message outing the the son of the MD of Townsend Records for flogging loads of hard to get releases on eBay. What a tosser.
While the organisers of RSD are busy blowing smoke up their own arse real collectors are be shafted again.

Luckily I found a copy of Wurster & Sharpling "Rock, Rot, and Rule" for a reasonable price online, though the point of RSD is to support LOCAL stores

Record Store Day con..., by kultur on Apr 21, 2014 17:32:27 GMT 1, RSD is not a sham. I got all of the releases I was after. Just took a couple of hours waiting in line.
Sure some record stores will hold back something... it would be silly to think that the owner or big customers wouldnt have something held for them. I guess there are some that hold back more... but really even for 300% profit it probably isnt worth it for them or their reputation.

Got the ones i was after from birmingham...... nirvana, clint mansell (previous pop will eat itself) albums and some others..... RSD is a great idea but you can never stop idiots from holding back then selling for double or triple the price. Its the same as flipping art but in vinyl terms...... |

It really is a disgrace. Dont buy anything from the shop or online and let your friends do the same. The only way is to starve turnover. There are many small record shops out there who would love the custom and would treat you better..... |

Record Store Day con..., by Deleted on Apr 21, 2014 18:30:59 GMT 1, maybe sham is too harsh a word, but something aint right. I'm friends with the manager of one of the stores, and they were only sent a handful of 45's. Another of the local stores only received a small bunch of releases and none of the more sought after ones.
In these cases, I don't think anybody was holding anything back - these stores just weren't supplied with the good releases, probably because they don't buy enough from the same distributors that fund RSD.
