I won't judge the people who like him, but is there actually a decent sized market for Justin Bieber novelty vinyl?

Edit: Turns out its actually a "Where are U now?" 12 inch, but the question still holds.

OK but Where Are U Now is a banger and the Grammys version is kind of cool in its own way. For as much as Skrillex generally bothers me and Bieber used to, he's improved a ton

Like I still wouldn't shell out the money for a picture disc especially given picture disc quality but Miley's Bangerz picture disc sells for a ton online now.

oo there's a lot here that catches my eye, though nothing quite as much as that splendid 808 State joint right there at the top...

In all fairness, I'd also want it if I had the dough. No worries. 🤣 I'm just wondering what RSD is going to do with the pressing. I think the last time I saw a new copy it was around $35(Can) anyway.

The James Brown double LP can't be bad, the Etta James is very good. Pinback's Blue Screen Life is a good LP. I don't know if Sun Ra's "Spaceways" is actually We Travel the Spaceways, but if so, it's a grabber. Finally, I suppose an Allen Toussaint live LP from '75 could be quite good.

Ah, perfect. I was hoping that wasn't the full list.

The reissues/releases from John Coltrane, Miles Davis, J Dilla, Fela Kuti, Sex Pistols and Xiu Xiu could all be decent. Tonnes of toss-ups in the second half of the list as well.

But I agree with Mecca, the most intersting release for me is certainly The Go! Team.

Also, Ethan Hawke's rendition of My Funny Valentine wasn't too bad. I won't pick it up, but it's an odd choice to press.

really hard to decide which one on that list is the least essential. The soundtrack to John Wick maybe? Or maybe the one for the tv show The Blacklist.

After a couple of false starts and iffy leaks the Record Store Day website seems to have got its act together and finally decided to list all the RSD16 releases.

Full list here

Thankfully the list Hayden put in another thread yesterday has been massively expanded, and there are a couple of genuinely interesting things on it (for me at least):

Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team

Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.

Offend Maggie by Deerhoof

There are, however a couple of records which make bugger all sense. Jay Reatard's Blood Visions, for example, should be relatively easy to get, but here it is in a '10th anniversary' pressing. He would have laughed. And how many RSD pressings of Never Mind The Bollocks do you need? Must be like 3rd year on the spin - talk about filthy lucre.

That aside, anyone got any opinions on the list? Is it worth queuing up 2 days for? Is there anything there that grabs you? Or is RSD going down the toilet, especially with a Hello Kitty and Justin Bieber record among the list?
