Record Store Day 2012

Record Store Day 2012

Last weekend we ventured on a 7 hour drive to Nashville, Tennessee for Record Store Day. We were lured to leave our local record store for Third Man Records Liquid Filled Record. We arrived in Nashville Friday evening around 7 pm. We sat in the freezing cold rain all day and night for a chance at Third Man Records RSD exclusive releases. A long 16 hours later we were the proud owners of the Liquid Filled Record and lots of other goodies. We also got to visit our second favorite record store in Nashville, Grimey's, later Saturday. We also got lucky there and got some great 45's and lps.

 We were number 36 and 37 in line for RSD. This is the line behind us. It wrapped around the block easily twice.

Greater Columbia Record Fair

Today was a big deal. The Columbia Museum of Art hosted the Greater Columbia Record Fair. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of cool records! Meet some new people and chatted with some friends. 

 Entrance to the Museum. 

 Papa Jazz booth from above

Around a dozen vendors set up with great stuff! 

 Simon and Garfunkel

Not entirely sure what this is actually. It's some sort of unofficial release. I hope it's early because I prefer their earlier recordings.

 

 Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde 

 Oh Dylan! It's in great shape and a very clean copy. Also has the pictures of the women inside the gatefold.

 Melanie - At Carnegie Hall

The jacket is a little dirty. It's splattered with something that resembles dried blood but i'm gonna stick with calling it coffee. :)

 Patti Smith - People Have The Power

Mr. Empty pulled this out for me. I love the cover photo shot by Mapplethorpe. This 12 inch single came with a packet insert of an interview with Patti Smith and other photos by Mapplethrope.

 Elliott Smith - New Moon

Mr. Empty: "Aside from two 7"s, this is actually, shockingly, my first Elliott Smith record! Double LP, not a gatefold, but so, so good. Already listened to the whole thing, couldn't resist putting it on as soon as possible. It's also not a re-issue, which isn't the biggest deal to me but it's nice to have an original."

 Patti Smith Group - Because The Night 45

If this record didn't have the picture sleeve with it, I probably would have never bought it. The look in her eyes are so gut wrenching on this cover. I had to take it home.

 The Doors - The Best of The Doors

Kinda rare double LP that was released at a time when not a lot of vinyl was being pressed. Very iconic picture of Jim on the front.

 Queen Ida (And The Bon Temps Band) - Zydeco

 Queen Ida and her Zydeco Band - In San Francisco

 Janis Joplin - Janis 

Soundtrack to the Janis documentary. I own the film on vhs because it was never released on DVD. This record has a lot of rare and intimate songs by Janis that you can't hear anywhere other than the movie and this record.

 Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
