Record Store Day 2020

My record store of choice, Jumbo in Leeds, did it where you booked slots so will be there on Saturday spending some vouchers I got for my birthday. Main picks for me were BMX Bandits, Cure, Carter USM, Bowie, FSOL, Pastels, U2, Vaselines and a Ska compilation

Looks like your list is similar to mine. Glad you're not ahead of me in the queue at my local!

Nice to see another fan of Pastels, Vaselines & BMX Bandits on here - Scottish indie rules!!!

Want that Craig Finn album but no way I'm queing up for hours only to be told they didn't have it in in the first place or the one copy they had has gone hours ago.

Banquet have 20+ copies, so it may be worth checking out their stock at 6pm when it goes live.

Jeez, how many times people? All unsold stock will go online on Saturday evening - you'll almost certainly be able to buy it somewhere!

For a bunch of people who are happy to stand in a field in all weather for 5 days, you're an awful bunch of lightweights! 🙂

Alright, alright! :D

I hate getting up early and Probe is tiny, can't see them allowing more that 3 at a time in there.

Tomorrow's list is a little bit weak for me. I get why they've done it but spreading the releases over three dates rather than one leaves me with none of the dates having enough to justify dragging myself out of bed. Had they released everything on the same day I'd probably have done it but won't be bothering this time.

I'll probably look online in the evening to see if I can pick up anything that does interest me but won't be too disappointed if what I'd like is already gone by then.

 why not phone them up and see if they have it and how many copies. Then if you want to go walk the queue asking if people are going to buy it. If they are back home. 

May  ot be worth getting up of course

Not half as scary as it used to be when Pete Burns worked there.

An older friend of mine was in a few bands in the 80s and a touring musician - he has told me about how Pete would be quite clear on his thoughts about your purchases. He once went in and had hold of one of his own albums, and Pete wasn't too complimentary. 😂

My tweet made it on to this when he passed away...

Very slick at Jumbo in Leeds. Had a slot noon to 1pm and was number 1 in that hour. Went in and they had my stuff waiting for me. Got all bar 2 of what I wanted- missed out on the Cure and BMX Bandits. So will try online tonight

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
