I suspect you'll be able to pick that up online at 6.  Though you're maybe better off saving some shekels and picking up a copy from Discogs or a charity shop. 

Just did that very thing. Given it's my only purchase today I'm comfortable with it, shekel-wise.

Enjoy rocking out to The Lovely Linda.

Being charitable, the second drop of releases seems a bit thinner than the first.

Yeah, about 50, compared to 300+ on the first drop. October's is even smaller I think.

I couldn't resist getting The Ramones, despite already owning about 4 live albums & them all sounding basically the same! Still sounds fucking great though! 🙂

50 decent bits and bobs would be one thing. If I came across any of this lot for 50p in a Bring & Buy Sale I'd still buy a pack of Polos.

You mean you’re not looking to bag Austin Powers on vinyl? 

Apologies if I got you all excited, the Austin Powers records are in the October drop, which is similarly as shit as September.

Got the 2 i was after so happy. But agree on slim pickings

[CaledonianGonzo]

Might pick up that Metamorphosis. Always dug this

 

[fred quimby]

Forgot about today

Was working so stopped an early one. Have to go out so may pop and have a look. Specials dubs maybe bought and I think there was one other

 

Oh yea the Stones one aswell.  Mmmm

Got both in the end. Picked up Gong - Floating Anarchy while there

Prince nearly turned my head but have spent enough this month

[gigpusher]

Might have just bought the Prince one. Bought a couple of others not from RSD just to make it worthwhile including the new Gorillaz one because I am really liking that one. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'll be dancing to Jiving Sister Fanny on the streets of Edinburgh tonight.

[Punksnotdead]

Went in to buy one item & ended up buying 4! Bob Mould, Suede, Lou Reed & Specials. Fucking hell, just as well I'm not spending much on anything else at the moment!

Felt sorry for any Sports team collectors. Different picture discs.

D'oh only noticed this and there's a few I would have bought! Probably for the best. My vinyl spend in lockdown has been through the roof!

Thanks for this, my Girlfriends due to finish her PhD in February so going to get a personalised message from her current favourite band for when she passes 🙂

Don't suppose you know if any other stores do something like this? Noticed that Maximo Park and You Me At Six are doing the same offer on Banquet but cant see it on any other stores.

Brilliant, I'm sure she will love it. Remember, they are closing the orders for it at some point before tomorrow.

I've seen Banquet do it a few times but with their gigs etc., they're quite a 'big' indie store. 

Longwell Records did something along those lines with a couple of releases last year if memory serves me correctly.

Recordstore.co.uk do a lot of signed copies but not personalised.
