I just moved out of NJ 2 months ago but I always went up to Sound Exchange when I would work in that area. I went there for RSD Black Friday last year and I liked the way they ran it. Great store.
I bought it after it came out and just remember having a devil of a time finding it. But it’s definitely not as good as the debut. It was a big letdown at the time which was why I didn’t buy it when it came out. Glad I have it in my collection now.
@@BrendonSnyder I preferred it to the debut. Better production and more depth to the songs. Although the debut was good I only remember one song from the debut. We all know the one. :) I saw them on the Timebomb tour at The House of Blues in Hollywood with Lennon supporting. Great night.
Anthony definitely says what we're all thinking with these greedy record label prices. Labels are gouging customers and it's getting worse and worse until people say enough is enough. Stop paying these prices
I'm looking to get the Screaming Trees Live, i think it's around $27, and one called Jazz Ensembles, i believe. You did not have it yet, but it is 70's Funk movie themes, 2 LP, i think..
Loved the banter guys. It's like school kids again, and id just love to sit with a bunch of cool blokes, have a beer, a laugh, and discuss music items like this. Im not into LP's at all, cant fathom the attraction for that 20min a side shit. Sold my 3,000 collection for next to nothing years ago. I'm a CD man til death! Rock on guys, loved it. Cheers from Australia.
Regarding the price of vinyl, Brendon, you hit the nail on the head, they are taking advantage of the vinyl market. It makes me wonder how much longer this vinyl revival will last. Anyway, great conversation, always enjoy seeing Anthony. I like how, despite the fact that a certain record is in his store for sale, if he doesn't like it, or is unfamiliar with it, he says so! Very cool.
I mostly just buy metal…and I’m pretty disappointed with the metal RSD releases this time. Not really much here for me to stand in line for unfortunately.
Looking at the list this year, only thing I want is the English Beat re-issue, though the Billy Strings release is something I might grab as well if I see it.
@@BrendonSnyder though I wish it had a cd version being I go for cd’s but hey maybe it’ll get me to grab a turntable in the future. I also love her hunger games song too.
Love you spoke out about the rip off aspect and how its ruining the comeback of vinyl. Bless you guys for that. That new Beatles 45 is twenty bucks. That’s a total disgrace. Universal should be ashamed of themselves. Appalling. They can keep it.
I didn’t get to RSD but my local Newbury Comics still had the CD. I will unwrap it on Xmas morning as it will be a gift from my wife to me. Patience…..
Imo, that IS the elephant in the room about artists selling their catalogs to corporations: the grift of the big money. Twenty dollars?¿? for "new" Beatles single, hard pass NO! Thanks Brendon and Anthony! 💯 Edit #1: I like Anthony's honesty and language.
Brendon, I have a question: a few weeks ago you showed a cd of a German band, re-issue of a late 70's instrumental album in the Prog/ jazz rock style. I think the cover was either some sort of spaceship or a needle on a record. I've been trying to remember the name of the name, and thought I had saved it on my "to buy" list, but can't find it anymore...would you happen to remember what it was? Thank you, Brendon! Cheers.
I got it! It was Visitor 2035 (I thought it had some number in the name...). I'm pretty sure you showed that one and gave it a good review. Thanx again, Brendon.@@BrendonSnyder
You're not forced to buy in every record for record store days are you? As a business you only buy the titles (including ones you think are overpriced) and amounts you think you can sell. If you feel so strongly a record is way overpriced, simply don't stock it? A customer can go elsewhere for those rsd tiles and you can order the non rsd titles on request rather than stock them.
Hey, do you want to come over and make a video about the new RSD releases? “Sure!” Just be ready for me to get irritated about halfway through and rush the second half. “oh…”
RSD can be stressful for a store owner. But instead of complaining, how about trying to see it from his perspective and take what you want from it and leave the rest. I mean…we did show you all of the titles in advance of RSD.
It always boggles my mind that people find it ok to be a dick but when someone stands up and says hey don’t be a dick that’s the problem. Maybe you should rethink what the idea of a joke is. Being rude and making dick comments can’t be brushed off by saying it’s a joke. You were being a dick, accept it. I’m done.
This year some said it was not that great a year, but Im actually getting more than usual with RSD. The Joan Jett is her newest record that went straight to digital and people were pissed off, cause they wanted physical copies. The Norah Jones is cool, because of the random duets, the INXS is great, this is similar to their long out of print (one of the first remix albums) called DeKa-Dance. There also is a Prince release coming RSD that is pretty In demand, and yes I am getting the Olivia Rodrigo, unfortunately already the ebay resellers are taking advantage, one the reasons I think some are pricing records high, is because of the re-sellers and those buying just to flip them for profit to fans. Wish Ebay had a way to stop that from happening, especially since people are selling what they don't have in hand yet, similar to what happened with Swift and a few years back with a Pearl Jam RSD and also the Foo Fighters "dee-gees" release a few years back.
I'm still waiting for something from Deep Purple on RSD or BF...I don't think there's a ever been anything (maybe a 45 rpm?). The only thing that I find interesting this year is the Joan Jett (and many The Doors if the sound is ok). The Knack might be good. Some of those releases are really questionable. No Taylor Swift this time???? :-) :-) :-) Cheers.
That Digital Underground album isn't that great, to be honest, but I'm with you on the Beatnuts. Been a fan for a long time. I wish they'd release some other hip hop albums that are just simply better than that Digital Underground.
Feel bad for the record store owners, especially the smaller indie ones, who have to buy these non-returnable releases and hope that they sell. Never been to a RSD event myself, as there usually isn't anything too exciting for me (and I'd probably be in-store swearing over the prices like Anthony).
So Atlantic (?) are putting out the "worst" KIX album ( even they said so themselves) on Record Store day? And NOT the debut, "Midnight Dynamite" or "Blow My Fuse"?!? WTF! Still love "For shame" though.
The money mongering Relapse Records is milking DEATH's loyal fans. They know Death's fans would buy anything they put out and thus releasing the six studio albums plus Fate and Live albums on all formats Tape, Vinyl, and CDs with various color variations again and again, which is seemingly endless. STOP IT Relapse. We are sick and tired of your endless reissues.
Swearing is just a sign of passion. It’s also very honest, not holding anything back or trying to sugar coat it. I think having a different perspective is good for the channel. And I completely disagree with the whole my “channel is less positive” statement. Voicing a complaint doesn’t make things less positive, it makes people feel better to get it off their chest and to know others feel the same way. Don’t keep things bottled up, you’ll live longer 👍
I think y'all even each other out. Like bouncing back and forth off each other with their opinions..it makes the videos fun. These are my favorite videos for sure. Keep rocking!
I love the rants. Anthony isn't afraid to say what is on his mind and i love it!!
I just moved out of NJ 2 months ago but I always went up to Sound Exchange when I would work in that area. I went there for RSD Black Friday last year and I liked the way they ran it. Great store.
Love the enthusiasm and honesty 👏🏻
It’s always real here! 👍
I don't even collect vinyl anymore, and have never participated in RSD, but I'm here for the dynamic duo
these guys are a couple of tools
$40 for "Live under a blood red sky" is ridiculous
For real.
U2 being U2
You’re paying for the poster.
Anthony loves Palomino Club for the same reason I do lol. "Scrap the caddy, Clyde."
I got the CD version of Eric Carr Rockology at my local store in York Pa for $11.99. I was happy with that
Cool! I’m glad you got one! Enjoy!
"If you are an asshole collector....." Anthony always good for a laugh 😂
Thanks guys. 😎👍
Our pleasure!
Really Brendon? You aren’t going to buy something twice? 😆 . Thank you for the great video !
I loved the Buckcherry Timebomb album!
I bought it after it came out and just remember having a devil of a time finding it. But it’s definitely not as good as the debut. It was a big letdown at the time which was why I didn’t buy it when it came out. Glad I have it in my collection now.

The U2 release is $AUD109.98 down here in Australia.
thank u
Merry Christmas 🎅 & Happy Holidays, guys ..!! 🎄💿 🎶
Thanks so much! Can’t wait for our year end wrap up and holiday sweeter party!
Anthony definitely says what we're all thinking with these greedy record label prices. Labels are gouging customers and it's getting worse and worse until people say enough is enough. Stop paying these prices
You guys are the best together! I need that Coheed
It’s always a good time!
Always great to see Anthony what’s up A!!!!
I'm looking to get the Screaming Trees Live, i think it's around $27, and one called Jazz Ensembles, i believe. You did not have it yet, but it is 70's Funk movie themes, 2 LP, i think..
My error.. it's titled Jazz Dispensery.
You guys are cool here in oz we pay up to 100 bucks for our records
Loved the banter guys. It's like school kids again, and id just love to sit with a bunch of cool blokes, have a beer, a laugh, and discuss music items like this.

I agree. I'm a CD guy from Australia too.
Hey Brendan. I thought you would have been really excited about that steeler release. It's amazing.
Loving Anthony's taste in hip hop, that Souls of Mischief is a bonafide classic!
It's always good to have a friend at the music store...
👍

Thanks for the RSD rundown, guys! Interested in the Wendy O Williams Plasmatics release. I'll skip on the Monkees. 😆
I mostly just buy metal…and I’m pretty disappointed with the metal RSD releases this time. Not really much here for me to stand in line for unfortunately.
RSD is a money grab.
I own the second album by Digital Underground and Greatest Hits. They actually had a second top 40 record kiss me back from the second album.
Looking at the list this year, only thing I want is the English Beat re-issue, though the Billy Strings release is something I might grab as well if I see it.
SAXON UNLEASH HELL, FIRE AND DAMNATION Saxon proudly release their latest album Hell, Fire And Damnation on January 19th 2024,
I was wondering where that Olivia Rodrigo vinyl was, i want a copy of that!
It’s coming! 👍

Eric Carr Cd is a win for me
It’s seems a lot more were pressed this time. I hope you get one. It’s a good album.
I didn’t get to RSD but my local Newbury Comics still had the CD. I will unwrap it on Xmas morning as it will be a gift from my wife to me. Patience…..
1953,that's COURT and spark demos
English Beat and The Captain for me.
Cool! I hope you get both on Friday!
Imo, that IS the elephant in the room about artists selling their catalogs to corporations: the grift of the big money. Twenty dollars?¿? for "new" Beatles single, hard pass NO!

The band name is Space, the album is called Magic Fly
Thank you so much, Brendon. I don't think it was that one, but that sounds really good too.@@BrendonSnyder
The only other one showing something related to space is Synthesize Classics, it’s a various artist compilation.
I got it! It was Visitor 2035 (I thought it had some number in the name...). I'm pretty sure you showed that one and gave it a good review. Thanx again, Brendon.@@BrendonSnyder
Not for me but great watching you two pour over new RSD releases! Thankyou.

@@BrendonSnyder It's not that serious...
Serious enough for you to comment….serious enough for you to get a reply.
@@BrendonSnyder It was a joke. It wasn't malicious. You are being very defensive and sensitive. Good luck with that!

Enjoy the videos with Anthony.. ...like how you guys agree to disagree . I guess im old school but ill stick to my cds...vinyl just too pricey.

You know - I’m starting to like the store owner -
You didn’t like Anthony before?! 🤷♂️
Fun fact: Ravi Shankar is Norah Jones' father.
I didn’t know that. Thanks. I’m a fan of both.
That's why I only buy used vinyl and I don't even buy many of them I'll keep collecting my cd's better format anyway
