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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 It was redeemable against a purchase, but Assai Records was charging £5 to even get in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted June 12, 2021 Report Share Posted June 12, 2021 Well that was easier than I thought. Anyone wanting to try xrecords was very smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
