Record Store Day 2015 Purchases/Listening

Could not go to RSD yesterday so I went online last night and found a still sealed 2014 RSD LP I wanted (Iron Butterfly~Heavy) and got it for $10.

I got the dolly parton release, the grass is blue

Sounds amazing

Also found a couple of Keith Whitley's in the 4.98 bin. All in all a good day

Well, we arrived at Main Street Jukebox 9:05, no line, but more of a crowd inside than in previous years. My Donna went a little wild, noting she only buys music on the 2 RSDs each year, whereas I have cut back on acquisitions, and get a few at yard and estate sales now and then, as I have too many used LPS to clean and properly organize at this point.

Whew, gonna need a new stylus on the TT

I picked up the Joan Jet LP, the Rocky Horrer Show, EP and the Headwig and the Angry Inch featuring Neil Patrick Harris LP. At Sisters of Sound in Manhatten, KS. Did anyone else get the Headwig release? I am on a business trip and haven't been able to listen to it yet. I love the original soundtrack.

The Miles Davis box set was priced at eighty bucks before tax etc. I did all of my RSD shopping at Zia's, where we had a hundred-buck store credit for like four or five boxes of books that we took in some time ago. I went to two of their stores -- the first being much closer to us. I bought everything except the Curtis Fuller at the first store, applying the store credit and some cash, which generated points (that registered immediately on their computer), and by the time I found the Fuller record at the second store, it cost me under eleven bucks. All told, my haul cost $62.

Just opened the Deep Purple 7". No obvious passing flaws. Sounds a little on the dark side.
The 45 opens from the top for those of you that would like to keep the cello on.

Did pretty good...spinning Blue Mountain now, excellent record!

Have you listened to the Gods yet?


I'm a big Uriah Heep fan and wondered about that LP.

Wasn't able to go yesterday (or am not into standing in lines), but managed to grab the Bowie/Verlaine 7" today. Saw the price of the Otis Blue LP and thought better...

My wife asked for the Otis Blue and the Simon & Garfunkel 7"; I got her Homeward Bound, but I ordered the Sundazed reissue of Otis Blue because of the price difference. Plus, she doesn't really need a mono mix and a stereo mix!

I stopped in today and picked up the Stooges record; I flip-flopped on it yesterday, decided I wanted it today...

I went to goodwill on record store day and scored about 25 interesting records among them empire stikes back double lp, rush exite stage left, richard prior bicentenial nigger, and a slew of earl 80s rock

Haven't listened to any yet, but I've verified that the mono Doors "Strange Days" fits perfectly into the 2008 box set, where it should have been in the first place.

I plan on doing the same with Otis Blue.

I hiked out to Joe's Records in the Mt. Vernon mall with 2 purchases in mind: Goldfrapp's "Felt Mountain" and the Dead Milkmen's "Beezelbubba". No goldfrapp, and I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone help? Anywho, playing the DM now and it sounds great! Classic album!

The quality control on the Savoy repress of Curtis Fuller's Bluesette isn't good; mine has an underfill on the B side. Listening to The Resident's Intermission EP right now, and this sounds much better. And stranger too, of course.

I got what I went looking for and a bit extra. :yes:
