Record Store Day 2023

If anyone can grab the flaming lips release for me that would be awesome, the person in front of me grabbed the last one 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Has anyone seen a copy of the X-Cops?

I'm wondering how available it really is.
My store got one Turnstile and one Asteroid City. Both were gone by the time I went. I'm at least interested in Turnstile as well.
I can pop back by the local if any of you want these, they had them all when i was there
 
The Rilo Kiley is a new pressing / mastering it seems (Coherent to Grundman unless my memory is off). My gut reaction is that I don't like it as much as the OG but at 20% of the cost any gap is easily mitigated for anyone thinking about it. It's pretty crisp and clean. Hearing reports of some edge warping (yep) and off centering (mine is fine) but it’s quite solid.

I'm heading out to run errands and am gonna pop into my local and see what's what - international shipping, so it may not be worthwhile for any ofy'all, but also a weeker dollar, so it may.

Will report back if I find anything I've seem mentioned here
 
Not to hijack your post. If you somehow see Noah Kahan “Cape Elizabeth” I’d be really grateful if you could pick it up for me . Obviously pay you cost and shipping. It’s tall ask.

I have a copy in-hand that I snagged for a coworker in case they couldn't get one today. Still waiting to hear back from them. If it turns out they don't need it, I gotchu.

(Might not hear back until Monday, though)
 
Early quick reviews of a few I listened to

Rilo Kiley - Great option for those who don’t want to deal with finding an original. Quieter but crisp and clean, nice option to have for RK completionists or those who are about their poppy turn.

Olivia Rodrigo - The four bonus tracks spread over the other records all on one side. Neat etching on side B, sound is normal pop quality, decent tracks. I feel like they’ll be on a deluxe version at some point in the future.

The Flaming Lips - This one was cool. It’s a recording of one of their radio station fan winner performances, so more an acoustic deal, with the spoken interludes. RIP 92.9. I really enjoyed this one - great Beck cover and some good Yoshimi cuts. Nothing essential and I’d like it a lot more at $20 than $30 but it has its charm. The vocals on Do You Realize?? Are a choice
