I was walking by my local so I just popped my head in. I asked about both Bill Evans titles for RSD and they said they got 1 or 2 copies of each.

Plaidroom will probably have 100 of each, so just grab one when they go online.

If I get a chance I'll peek in the Manchester stores and let you know if I see any.

Just wanna give a shout out to the vinyl gods for allowing the yen to tank against the dollar this week. Importing some Japanese exclusive RSD releases is looking more affordable by the day.
Edit - lol. lmao.

Btw this doesn’t just apply to RSD records. Last night I grabbed three Nujabes-related albums from Amazon Japan which came out to about $36 each. Shipping included. I usually see those being sold at $45 and up.
Now I’m just playing the waiting game for when HMV JP posts their RSD inventory, which I believe should be about 24 from now.

Looking at it now, and it still has this old 2002 Saddle Creek catalog order form in it. @JonnyH you'd love this too.. Cds $11, LPs $9...sign me up! But really, I should send an order in. Someone at SC would get a kick out of that.
Also, I do still need to check out his new solo album.
I originally preordered Lifted and the Execution of All Things via a mail order form just like that one.
This is when I started getting into vinyl exclusively, cause it was cheaper than CDs. Look at me now! What have I done??

You never know, they might fulfill the order at those prices! I had a similar experience with Flameshovel Records when I stumbled into their online store when I was looking for a Joggers record (also early 2000s). I figured it was a site that they just forgot to take down, so I couldn’t believe it when they sent me the album for $12.50.

Haha, that's awesome.
Heads up on the Jazz RSD rundown:
1. Art Pepper Meets the Rhytym Section:
Nice pressing. Sounds great. The big surprise to me is the clarity and authenticity of the cover, particularly the back cover.
2. Bill Evans - Morning Glory:
Very nice sounding, clearly a professional recording. Drums maybe a slight bit recessed, but not a worry, the piano sound is glorious, the bass is very solid, and this overall is very recommended. It is also a really great concert, an electric atmosphere.
3. Bill Evans - Inner Spirit:
As with the earlier recorded Morning Glory, the sound here is excellent. Maybe a bit more noticeable that the drums have little impact, but again, the performances are killer, and the material is great. A fabulous late Evans trio recording. Marc Johnson kills it. Both these Evans recordings will result in a flood of the Ronnie Scotts RSD release heading to the used bins.
4. Pepper Adams - Live At The Room At The Top:
Acceptable recording, but not A-grade. The piano is pretty bright, and Pepper a bit recessed. And despite KPG in the deadwax, an obvious digital transfer. It is a pretty good live date, though, and Pepper is the king on baritone. Always has been. Every baritone player since the late 50's has come through Pepper, not Mulligan. Despite reservations on the recording, and the pressing which is not exactly RTI standard, this is fabulous and essential.
5. Mingus - The Lost Concert:
Interesting. The recording is very good. The material can get pretty wild, even getting close to off the rails at points. But is fun, if not essential Mingus, it fills a gap in his recorded career very well. Recommended.
6. Albert Ayler - Revelations:
Again, the KPG in the deadwax doesn't mask the limitations of the recordings. However, this material sounds better here than it ever has, and the fact that Ayler veers off-mic quite a bit can't be helped. This is full-blooded late period Ayler, there is some ear bleeding singing from Ayler and Mary Maria (thankfully not much), and several places where Ayler shows that he is not just a screecher, but has R&B as well as solid bop chops. There are a fair number of very straight solos here, and overall, this expands the understanding of Ayler significantly, while bringing back his last late period live recordings up to very good sonics. For me, this can't be more the opposite of Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section, but even more revelatory. Nice pressings.

Actually, now I see that my local, Carolina Soul, will put up leftovers on its discogs page at midnight tomorrow.

Welp, apparently there are at least five people in line at Rough Trade NYC and that store doesn’t even open for another 9 hours.

There’s a few people in sleeping bags at the front of the queue I’m in. I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing.

Having said that, if they have a spare Bustin' + Dronin' by Blur, if you have the funds to get one for me please do and I'll settle you up! Good hunting, and I hope you get what you want!

Yeah il get you one if they have any. The owners already been asking what people want and responding with telling people they might be disappointed….not a good sign.
It seems like several of the front of liners are after Taylor Swift so they are now discussing it amongst themselves. I’m after the Pepper Adams and Charles Mingus and he said I might be out of luck on both.
