Never participated in one of these. Is it just turn up at a local store and cross your fingers what you want is still in or even received?

Not really after much but fancy the Roisin Murphy album. 

Yes if you are lucky enough to have choice of record stores finding a less popular one can be useful. My local one is Piccadilly Records and people queue overnight and all sorts for them.

I also phone up before hand to ask if they are getting the ones I am after and how many they will have. 

I also hate seeing them on ebay after. One of the reasons one of the local stores will not do it

Got what I was after and was good at not going for more. Now breakfast. Then beer garden.

Got 8 out of the 10 I wanted which wasn't bad. Bloody massive queue though, maybe the biggest I've ever seen on RSD.

Wandered by Underground Solu'shun but decided I really couldn't be hacked with queuing for half an hour to pay 30 sheets for a Toots and the Maytals album.

It was redeemable against a purchase, but Assai Records was charging £5 to even get in.

Yea queue was mental in Bristol

I see eBay is already full of people selling their purchases. Going to have a little nosey around a few of the online sales at 6 but don't hold out much hope.

Any ideas on the best sites to try?

Usually I go with Norman but they weren't doing this one as they couldn't organise the in store bit. I heard someone say Sister Ray was good and I am going with my local Piccadilly Records and X Records. 

[gigpusher]

Well that was easier than I thought. Anyone wanting to try xrecords was very smooth.

Amazingly I just ordered the 2 albums I was missing from rough trade - sorted in less than 2 minutes! 🙂

I had rough trade open as they were one of the ones that had the price listed but had been inactive for about 10 minutes and when I went back it put me in a queue and it said it was more than an hour long. 

X-records is quite good because it's not very famous. I only know it because I used to live near Bolton. They tend to get a decent stock in as well and don't get the same demand as some of the bigger names.

Don't matter, got tge ones I wanted from Drift.

That is correct. Live from kilmainham gaol! A solid album. Where the heroes of 16’ met their end. Up the fontaines! Up the Gaeilge 

[faymondo]

Could not make it to a shop. No joy on above shops so joined the online queue for Rough Trade and managed to bag myself the Roisin Murphy album 😁

[RarerThanDandyB]

Shame: Live in the flesh and Fontaines Kilmainham Gaol for me.
