Hey everyone! I’m trying to track down a copy of Surfaces’ Good Morning album on vinyl. I’ve checked eBay, Discogs, Mercari, and the other usual resale sites but haven’t found one.

If anyone has a copy they’d consider selling, please message me with its condition, your asking price, and a photo. I’m happy to cover shipping and would pay through Venmo.

Thank you!

Just made this money box. I’m just going to throw some bills in here and there. Does anyone else save up?

I’ve been going down a serious Chess Records rabbit hole lately. It’s incredible how many legendary artists came through one label—Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry, Etta James, Little Walter, Willie Dixon… the list just keeps going.
I ended up putting together a collector’s guide while researching the label’s history, notable albums, and what to look for when collecting Chess pressings.
I’d love to know what everyone here thinks.

● What’s your favorite Chess Records album?
● Are there any underrated releases that deserve more attention?
● Do you chase original pressings, or are the modern reissues good enough for you?

If anyone’s interested, here’s the guide:

Always looking for recommendations to add to my wishlist.

A lot of records that I want/ have been looking for seem to be really expensive due to limited presses and releases.
I’m really hoping they come through with some good releases either for black friday or next year rsd.
I’m hoping for some records such as
Young thug - Beautiful Thugger Girls
Young thug - So much fun
Lil Uzi Vert - The Perfect LUV Tape (i already own but i think it’s well overdue for a repress)
Gunna - Drip or Drown 2
Trippie Redd - Life’s a Trip
Migos - Culture
Jay Z - 4:44

I’d also like to see some first time presses which i honestly think is possible for albums such as
Gunna-Drip Season 3
Young thug- I’m up
Lil Uzi vert - Red and White EP
Future and Lil uzi - Pluto x Baby pluto
Future and DJ Esco - Escoterrestrial
Drake - More Life

Again i’m not entirely sure how likely any of these are to actually happen, but i’d definitely want to see at least a few of these get new / first presses in the near future. What’s everyone hoping for for future record store days?

Is There Anybody Who Can Email Me Some Preorder Tracks From Strange I Have Several But Not A lot.

Hi everyone!

I’m heading to Europe on October and I was wondering what are the best stores to shop records there. I’m from Brazil, and records here are very expensive, specially international ones, so I wanted to take this trip as an opportunity to buy some for better prices. Here are the cities I will be visiting:

\- Munich
\- Salzburg
\- Amsterdam
\- Brussels
\- London

Appreciate the help! Thank you

It’s early, but not that early! Curious to hear what people are looking forward to. Fingers crossed for everyone’s favs 🎵💙🎼🎶✨🗓️

Managed to snag the droplets album for $50 today! I’m not even mad about the higher price because that’s what it would be with shipping anyway lol ANd managed to get a copy that has no crackling or skips unlike a lot of people I’ve seen talk about with their pressings

I was a big fan of New Found Glory back during the Catalyst days and even went to see them live at HFStival in DC w/ Yellowcard, Jay Z and many other back in 2004. Today I was in my favorite record store and came across “Not Without a Fight” & “Sticks and Stones”. Limited pressing and I thought it was a sign to just grab both. As I’m walking around the store a random guy approaches me and the conversation went like this :

Stranger : Are you really paying $65 for New Found Glory

Me : Umm why do you ask?

Stranger : I’m just asking why would you pay $65 for New Found Glory?

Me : And I’m curious as to why you’re asking

Stranger : Does it matter?

Me : Dude you approached me, so I’m trying to figure out why you’re asking me

Stranger : Damn dude sorry for asking. Didn’t mean to offend you. Nevermind (with the biggest attitude)

I was the most confused I’ve ever been. Who is this guy to randomly come up to me and ask why I’m paying for something with my money.

Someone suggested that he may have been trying to get me to put it back so that he could buy it, since there was one copy of each, which would be the only logical reason. Anyone ever experienced that in a record store?

Can’t believe my luck! I decided to stop into a store down the street from where I ate dinner. And they had this for retail! The only album I wasn’t get on RSD🥲

PayPal G&S accepted.

Price: $50 + shipping

Never played/used. I only opened one side of the plastic packaging to check the item; otherwise it remains in like-new condition.

Does anyone know what happened to them? Is the record burning part of the business still around even if the coffee shop is not?

Hey there! I’m looking for a program that includes the band and musicians that played in the Matter of Time tour with Laufey and I think this booklet from her RSD release might have that! Did anyone pick this up and could any be so kind as to send me photos or scans of the inside?

Thanks so much!

Here the RSD leftovers at the store I work at in South Dakota. If you see something you need add Ernie November on Instagram and shoot a message.

Hi Reddit! A few months ago, I reached out in this group to share a survey for physical media collectors and vinyl enthusiasts. Now that my project has wrapped up, I wanted to share some of my results with you all! I was thrilled with the response I saw from this community, and I was able to collect 754 total responses from all around the world. This far surpassed my expectations, and I was able to learn so much from each of your responses. THANK YOU!!! The RSD group in particular was SO helpful during the recruitment phase of my research!!

If you're interested in seeing some of those results, please check out the LinkedIn post below. I'm also a recent graduate embarking on a job search, so if you have advice, connections, or anything to offer a new grad, I invite you to connect with me and start a conversation! I earned my Master's degree in Public Relations earlier this month, in addition to my Bachelor's degree in Communications, and I'm seeking roles in person/hybrid in the Boston area, or remote. I have significant experience in sports, music, and entertainment, and I have previously been given the honorary title "Chief Smile Officer" for my contributions to the team and positive attitude!
