Several. I was in Nashville on Friday, then came back home through Knoxville on Saturday. First time I wasn't at Back Door in Johnson City for a RSD Black Friday.
Your store's markup is high. It was $40 here, and I didn't buy it because it was too expensive.
Ah, I was just wondering if there was another store in the region doing RSD.

There may be some potential down that road, but I don't really like the "type" part of it, unless you also plan to sell books (or keyboards or something). Maybe if you burn patchouli incense and play sitar music and have bead curtains and stuff you could call it "StereoHippical. (Capitalize the "C" for bonus points if you live in California.)
Original issues on the Etiquette label are hard to find and even harder to find in VG+ condition or better. The one good thing about the pressings on Etiquette, they can look like crap (scuffed, scratched, marked up good) but they actually play decent. Same as the one original album they did on the Jerden label.
The Sonics based out of Tacoma had 3 release in the mid 1960's. Here Are the Sonics and Boom both on Etiquette and Introducing the Sonics on Jerden, which was actually their final album but the first on on a major label, hence "Introducing".

Thanks for the clarification.

As far as I know, Asheville and Boone NC are the closest RSD stores to Johnson City. I've also known folks that drove to Knoxville for RSD since they have a good number of indie record stores. Since Sonic closed in Bristol, I think Back Door has been the only option in NE Tennessee.
[edit] Just remembered that I've seen RSD product in the record store in Gatlinburg, so it might be worth a look if you are in that area.

I really love that album and the pink vinyl is so cool. $40 is reasonable for that type of package. Although I would pass at that price too.

I'm curious about the Ben Harper Fight For Your Mind release. How is the SQ? Had it in my hand but they wanted $46 for it so I left it there. Now I'm kind of kicking myself as that's a tremendous sounding CD and I can only imagine it on vinyl. Probably my favorite by Ben Harper, but I have fundamental issues with paying $46 for a single LP that I have in a different format.

I said F it and just got a copy of Ben Harper on line for $27 shipped including tax. Close to half of what I would have paid out the door on Black Friday. Victory through procrastination!
Congrats !
I "have" it but not yet in my possession. Will p/u on Weds and let you know what I thought.

Sure, it's a bit of a trek, but it does already exist
