RSD 2020

How does the Robyn 'Robyn' RSD release reissue sound everyone? It's got mixed reviews on Discogs! Some are saying it sounds great, others are saying it sounds a bit flat! What do you all think? Is it a great sounding pressing?

Mine sounded very good! And you know, its not an album you play quietly so I definitely pushed it.
 
Got an email from Red Devil Records in San Rafael, CA about remaining RSD stock. Might be worth giving a call (415.457.8999) if you need any of these:

I only have one copy left of most of these:

Roxy Music - Self Titled - their first, w/Eno. The new mix by the very well regarded Steven Wilson, on clear color vinyl

Billie Eilish - Live at Third Man Records - on blue color vinyl

Brittany Howard - Live at Sound Emporium - on maroon color vinyl

Ennio Morricone - Peur Sur La Ville soundtrack - rare French cult thriller

Tangerine Dream - Tyger - on translucent yellow vinyl

America - Heritage II - "demos/alternate takes 1971-76"

Bob Marley and the Wailers - Redemption Song 12" EP - on clear color vinyl

Gov't Mule - Live at the Capitol Theatre Vol. 3 - "purple/yellow triple striped vinyl"

Chet Baker - Sings/It Could Happen To You - mono analog
 
Hey friends, I just started a master September RSD want/help list!

Does the next drop need another thread? I suppose we can still use the last "Wantlist Master Thread", no?

Can do whatever! Figured a new one would be easier and more organized but I don’t really care at the end of the day

Edit: Actually, I do think it needs another thread. The organization and speed of scrolling through the "Wanted" posts (first page or so) are important for those seeking records in store.

To me, it sounds like any run-of-the-mill commercial release. Acceptable but nothing outstanding. If Gorillaz D Sides is a 9/10 for me, Robyn is 6/10. Her vocals lack the clarity I want to get it to 7/10 or 8/10

* Mine says Made in the Netherlands.

Sadly my online order of June Of 44's Meridians got cancelled as part of their order didn't show up. They held the order for a few days to see if it would show up last week, but no luck. But they refunded me the cost plus knocked another $5 off the rest of my order for the "inconvenience". Thats how it's done. Now I will definitely be going to them in September and October for RSD online.

Do you still need a copy?
 
Next batch just showed up. 5 of my RSD LPs have now come in, 1 left to go.

Really happy about the Hooker N Heat. That one was on my wantlist for a long time but never got around to it. Hope it sounds great.

I actually ended up getting this RSD pressing for Hooker ‘n’ Heat! I can confirm that it sounds great! And it’s a wonderful listen and I love how raw, intimate, and homely it sounds! ♥
 
I can no longer find Sweet Relief: A Benefit For Victoria Williams on the RSD list - it was supposed to drop in October. Has anyone heard anything about it?
I haven’t seen it on the list, but I've seen it listed in some stores for the October drop. It’s on Legacy, and still on their release list so I *think* it’s still on. It’s the only thing I’m chasing that drop.
 
Finally got down to listening to Bob James - Once Upon A Time.

Wow after being let down by the sonics of Charlie Parker‘s Jazz at midnight (2/10), Bob James is a full 10/10. The best sounding RSD bar none. Could be among the best sounding in my entire record collection. Full dynamic range, supreme clarity yet the bass is defined and solid (My Ron Carter hasn‘t arrived so let’s see if it could top this )

Looking more closely at the jacket, I just realised that Bob James is mastered by Grundman and pressed at RTI

Couldn't agree more, sounds fantastic! Zev Feldman really goes all out when prepping these packages, I have yet to have a Resonance release that I thought was poor quality. Some people have complained about the audio for Bill Evans At The Top Of The Gate, but I personally find it to be good.

Thanks for the info. Will bear this in mind when i next see Resonance
