fan base Vinyl Talk | Round and round the record goes...

[Hunter_13]

There's only three people here so far but I'm anxious cause idk how many copies of The Lakes they have. 

[Kings.]

I’m looking around online for stores that’ll have leftover stock and so far here’s what I found:

Park Ave CDs - 8am EST

Newbury Comics - 8am EST

The ‘In’ Groove - 8am EST

Amoeba - 8am EST

Zia Records - 9am EST 

 

The clear setup  In past years this many stores never had leftover stock drop at the same time online

Omg. I just got here and I’m second in line behind one person  I’ll definitely be getting 5/6 records that I want.

 

Anyone in the U.S. want anything that’s not Taylor, Mariah, Sam, Rex Orange County, Jessie Ware or Wallows?
 

EDIT: The girl in front of me said she’s looking for Taylor and Rex and she called ahead of time and was told they’ll only have one copy of the latter  Guess I’ll be on the online hunt for that one.

Only one copy on Rex? That’s wild   I’m sure you’ll be able to find it online. Even Newbury said the same on TikTok- that they’re expecting extras

I’ve never seen this many people at the mall, let alone one single store. I’m praying against all odds this Newbury Comics has a lil extra amount of The Lakes, I’ll honestly cry 

Brace yourself

How early did you get to your store? My store opens at 8am and two people arrived since 5pm yesterday  the second in line group arrived at like 2am tho. (And apparently the second group was FUMING because they’re always first in line nnn).

Yes! I’m so shocked. I only came because they dropped videos on Facebook of their inventory and it seemed like they would have a decent selection of stuff I wanted. I’ll definitely be perched online for it if they didn’t get extra copies.

I got here at exactly 8am and they open at 11  Hopefully they’ll get here at 10:30-ish and let us shop early since it’s only us (for now)

I’m first in line. Gonna grab all the lakes copies and run

Thank you so much! I’ll message you if I end up getting it 

[Ampersand13]

When I tell you there was a mass exodus when the employee screamed 'Taylor Swift has sold out' 

[1DES]

There is a longer line this year. 

Im assuming that the Lakes will be sold out seeing lots of young people here. 

Hoping Mariah and Childish are still available. 

[ScarletWitch]

Thank god I'm not looking for anything this year except maaaaybe the Blue Velvet OST

I’m sure the people that you sell them to for 3x the price will be very happy!

[Desire]

Nnnn let me just say that luck was on my side today. Last night I set my alarm for 4:30am and for whatever reason I ended up waking up at 3:50am instead. I decided to say f it and started to get ready to head to Newbury Comics. I arrived around 5:30am and there was already 10+ waiting outside the mall. I was a little nervous because there were people with their parents and I thought damn they'll all probably get a copy of The Lakes too. Employees started handing out lists so we could mark what we wanted around 7am. It's now 7:50 and the employee is asking who #16 is that's the person right behind me. She says they have all she wanted minus Taylor. When I tell y'all I screamed (internally of course) because I ended up with the last copy  This was my first real RSD and I'm actually glad I went and experienced it. I know this day is all about supporting the smaller shops but when a big release like Taylor happens, I'll much prefer to head to Newbury in the mall and not have to suffer in cold weather for hours on end. 

 

 

To keep it short if y'all don't want to read: I successfully got The Lakes  

 

Also Kacey and Mariah

Rick Astley (Never Gonna Give You Up a BOP) 

Childish Gambino 

Future 

Kacey

Mariah

such a contrast compared to last year’s when I left with NOTHING
