As most of you know, Record Store Day is upon us, this Saturday - celebrating all that is magical about independent music stores. With that comes many band's (often rare) vinyl contributions to this annual event. I'm particularly looking forward to picking up Heady Nuggs, the box set of the first 5 Flaming Lips' Warner Bros. albums. What are you looking forward to scoring?

If I wasn't so poor I would totally get that flips box set. Looks amazing.

I'll be down there to pick up the new Paul Simon record, and if I'm lucky enough to get my hands on one of those Lips box sets I'd consider it if it isn't like $500. Other than that, I'll be looking around for a copy of that Built to Spill 7" (their cover of the Dead's "Ripple" -- awesome!). And there's a Pinback 7" as well. Oh, and Gorillaz' The Fall is being released that day too.
I entered a raffle to win one of the limited edition copies of Tomboy, maybe I'll get lucky.

Is the vinyl a studio cut? I've only heard it live before.

I really don't know. I assumed it was a studio recording, but now I realize I have no information to back that up. I'll take it either way, really.

Oh and apparently its a picture disc. I hope Edmonton gets that. Same with Phish's Two Soundchecks.

"Ripple" is a live recording from North Carolina, according to my neighbor Dug.

Looking at hopefully getting:
Foo Fighters - Medium Rare Mastodon - Live at the Aragon Urge Overkill - "Effigy" 7 Inch Pearl Jam - VS. Fucked Up - David's Town
I really want the My Morning Jacket re-issues, but at a limited edition cap of 400 my chances are slim.

This is my first year hunting for records on Record Store Day. I was wondering if anyone knows what I should expect in terms of pricing. Are the releases more expensive since they are limited numbers or do the prices carry the average price tag for vinyl?

I was wondering the same thing, I have never done this before. We are going to get up early and go check shit out.

I do know that the Heady Nuggs box is priced at $125, which is incredibly decent.

Is that it? I thought it was upwards of $200. Maybe everything will be normal prices then. That Flaming Lips set would be dyn-o-mite!!

I'm excited about this! There are two stores on my street participating and the radio station I work for is really heavily promoting this. Can't believe I didn't hear about it until this year. I can't wait to stock up!

I just found out my town got it's first record store, and it is participating in this. But I have to work, so I might send my girlfriend to pick some stuff up for me.
