Record Store Day 'Black Friday' 2012 Release UPDATE: Photos of Product!

It's a little pricey with postage for delivery to the US (over $20).  They also don't seem to credit back the VAT as most UK shippers to the USA tend to do. It's not much of a savings, but at least it's something, and it's not like the VAT is owed on a US order.  The only US record store that's offering it online is no longer taking orders.

I think that drawing of the current group with that "chins on fists" look is really kinda neat. And reminds me that even after all he has been though, Brian resembles the younger version of himself quite a lot. Only Al comes closer in that regard.

Pee Chee folders was a great cheat sheet for "times tables" back in elementary school, since it had a set printed inside the folder.  It went all the way up to 12 x 12. I was so disappointed when I spent time as a substitute teacher and found out that modern kids only memorize times tables up to the number 10.  Maybe it's just harder for their little brains because they don't have Pee Chee folders anymore (at least not commonly, though I've read Mead tried selling them again a few years ago to nostalgic adults).  I also remember having fun doodling names and speech balloons on the athletes.  It's such a fond memory that I may buy this for the sleeve, to heck with the record.

Kids these days just use calculators.

Figured a scan would be helpful

David Marks is apparently rendered as Al Jaffee.

That Jardine is indescribable! Quick, somebody describe it.

And after the Oasis fiasco I sort of started in the Box Set thread, I move discussion...

I just got back in after doing a bit of shopping this morning. Attic Records in Millvale, PA. (Pittsburgh, PA) had 20 copies of the Beach Boys Mead/Pee-Chee folder/record. For Black Friday / Record Store day the Attic opened at 7:00 a.m. with about 15-20 people standing in line. I got there at 6:50 a.m. and didn't have to wait too long. Nice to see vinyl enthusiasts waiting in line for their records!

I also picked up an apparently hard to find Wanda Jackson rarities record. I guess not too many copies were sent out. I got the 'Death Might Be Your Santa Claus' Christmas compilation LP and the Donny Hathaway 'This Christmas' 45 rpm in cool red and green Christmas vinyl!

They had about 10 or 12 copies of The Beach Boys  remaining when I left the store. How's the availability where you're at?

This is another nice item from Capital. They took the time, money and effort to design a really cool cover and gate fold. It gives me hope that Capital isn't done with the Beach Boys just yet. I can still see more product beyond the release of the box set. The entire reunion concert on CD is a no-brainer...you would think. We shall see.

What were they selling for?  The BBs was $18 and the Wanda, Merle Haggard and Faron Young releases $16 at the store I visited

Is there no slip inside promoting the forthcoming box? Last year's Vibes n' Villains 10" has a slip for TSS after all…

Nope, Zilch

[Wah Wah Wah Ooooo]

Drove an hour from my in-laws in Paducah, Ky down to a cool little shop in Murray called Terrapin Station this afternoon...they only got one copy of the record and it was still there so I picked it up. $18. I thought it was a little pricey, but I did drive an hour for it, so whatever...

I like the packaging...it's a nice sleeve and the record itself looks pretty nice. Will listen when I get home Sunday night.

I didn't get this, partially because the songs aren't my favorites, but also because I thought it was a 78 RPM! I might have gotten it if I knew it was a 33.


I did pick up the reissue of the Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground single by The White Stripes on red (!) vinyl, and some used stuff. A good shopping day.

$16 for Wanda Jackson. $20 for the Beach Boys. Well, we're supporting a small business and an independent record store so it's all good. They are providing a product that the chain stores can't be bothered with. It's good that the record companies continue to release quality vinyl and make them very collectable.

I'd love to see the new box set on vinyl. On second thought I'd just love to see the new box set.

T'was $24 here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  Ouch.  But I buy everything BB related.  I can't help myself.  It is purdy though...
Might buy a back up if they still have copies at other stores tomorrow (only one per customer at my local store).
 

[Freddie French-Pounce]

was £9.99 for me, or apparently $16.0195

Drove an hour from my in-laws in Paducah, Ky

I admire your dedication! Also, I used your above and beyond effort to downplay my own obsessiveness in the eyes of my wife. Thanks!

The record sounds great and Isn't It Time (Single Version) sounds way better on vinyl compared to all of the internet versions I've heard. I didn't think the autotune seemed as bad. I think it was a fun idea to put their first and most recent singles on the same release. Fifty years pass with the flip of a record! Going off of this record alone, you would be convinced the Boys aged with extreme grace.
