Personally I thought this year’s RSD fare was dire - didn’t even bother. More and more shops local to me didn’t decide to participate and I don’t blame them. It’s become a flipper’s farce where unless there’s something you desperately want you may as well wait a few weeks and pick up the offerings for a fraction of the price when the gougers realise there’s no way they’re going to make a profit.
Give it 5 years and RSD will be dead, if it isn’t on its last legs already.

I'm not entirely sure about that. Perhaps in the UK? RSD is huge in Toronto, I've been there for it twice and they go all out.
I love seeing vinyl sales getting a daily spike, and it's great to have a community event for record buyers/shops, but it's not my cup of tea. Usually too squishy, too overpriced, too 'Black Friday'-esque. Sometimes shops will have 15-20% off store-wide, which is cool though.
Anywho, didn't participate this year. Been chilling in Bangkok the past while and they don't have it here... or too many music shops for that matter 😨
What's the pressing like?

I don't bother with the special releases - there's very few I'm interested in and they're more than I'm willing to pay anyway. I just go to my favourite second hand place where they do all stock for 20% off and go nuts. This year I wasn't able to spend as much as I usually would due to budget, but I still managed to pick up Innervisions on vinyl and Rain Dogs on CD.

Was able to pick up Die Tür Ist Zu by Swans today. Apparently it arrived late which is why I missed out on RSD.

Honestly, this year was a little bit of a let down for me in terms of the titles released on RSD. Not too many "can't miss" items in my opinion. With that being said, there were a couple things that caught my eye. I grabbed the Car Seat Headrest 2011 version off a whim (my friend had really liked Teens of Denial) and I'm glad I did because I love it and its a high quality pressing. I also picked up the Rage Against The Machine live album at the Democratic Convention which is great but I wish it were longer.
