RSD & Me

An initial flick through this years Record Store Day release list didn't seem to reveal that much of interest, so how did I end with my biggest RSD haul?

Anyway here's what I went for:
The Kings of Convenience - Welcome reissue of their first 3 LPs, which usually go for £50+.
3 Groovy Soundtracks:
Dr. Who & The Daleks / Daleks Invasion Earth - The Barry Gray tracks are probably the highlight here.
Stelvio Cipriani - Deviation. Clear vinyl Italian giallo soundtrack.
Piero Umiliani - La Legge Dei Gangsters - Nice varied 2xLP set.


John Renbourn - The Attic Tapes - Sadly less than essential archive release.
The Zombies - Mid Sixties compilation with bonus tracks
The Idle Race - The Idle Race - 2nd album from this mob and Jeff Lynnes swansong.
Nuggets - Hallucinations - Excellent vinyl debut for these US pysche nuggets.


Matthew Sweet - Goodfriend - Vinyl debut for this classic power pop collection of demos and live tracks.
Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker - Cannots, 5 guitar based improvisations - much better than that makes it sound.
Richmond Fontaine - Yellow vinyl issue of the latest from Willy Vlautin & Co.
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball. Heavyweight triple LP of the original album plus 3 sides of bonus material.


And some 45s to round things off - less than usual this year I think.
Gerhard Heinz - Schamlos - More groovy German Sexploitation.
Jean Claude Vannier - L'enfant au Royaume des Muche. Alternative versions of tracks from the L'enfant Assassin Des Mouches album.
Shirley Collins - English Songs Volume 2 / Trembling Bells - Who Call the Law
A nice complementary pair to finish with.


There are still a few things in the RSD box I have my eye on, but that's quite enough for the moment.

RSD Recovery

Still in recovery mode after yesterdays epic 2016 Record Store Day.
Thanks to the Henley Standard for sticking us on the front page, we had more people than ever through the door this year.

Thanks to all of the people who came through the door, and bought lots of lovely records.
Thanks to the guest Superstar DJs whose eclectic sets amazed and delighted: DJ Rich, Spencer the Rover and Wack on Wax.


Right feet up, and start to plan next year.

The last deliveries have arrived so here is the final list of what will be available tomorrow.
Prices are in line with Rough Trade's prices but I have trimmed a few quid off some, where I could.
Please note some of these titles are limited to one or two copies only.
As ever we didn't get all that we wanted but hopefully there is enough here to tempt you along.
As it says above we open at 10:00 - if it's raining, and we are ready, we may make that a bit earlier to save folk getting too damp.
