Who did he join? Was it the Beatles? Did he have plastic surgery and call himself Bono?

the A side is going to be "Pictures In My Mind" & the B side is going to be "In A Lonely Place [full Ian Curtis vocal rehearsal version]"

It's two bands and two versions of 'Ceremony' / 'In A Lonely Place'.

april 16? any good record shops in the Wembley area?

Johnny James is a wise man. Just sayin'... Has been in the works for a while.

It will probably end up having In Between Days by The Cure on the A-side and something by Revenge on the other more like.....

I'm sure it will get snapped up quickly, and be worth a fortune not long after it comes out!

was beginning to wonder if they wouldn't have anything this year

quite a short list of sstuff want from this years

this, whirring, the fall... wondering about the screamadelica triple for £35 (ceremony witll be £15 btw)

the queen is dead on 2 x 10" looks interesting too

Weirdly it doesn't look like it's on a double 10" this time!

'Record Store Day 2011' ??? Shouldn't that be 'folk getting ripped off by pointless releases that all end up selling at stupid prices on Ebay day'.

Thanks for pointing that out, Rhino. you learn a new thing every day.

This Saturday, anyone queueing up for it?

Is this going to be the new version of the sleeve?

Yes, a black and white version of the original.

Looks good, would be nice to get a copy. Just settling for the Hendrix single

Shall be queueing up to get this nice and early on Saturday. Hopefully it won't sell out before I'm at the front of the queue.

After going through the arduous process of hunting down releases on Record Store day last year I've really fallen out of love with the "idea". Don't get me wrong I love record shops - particularly second hand ones where I netted most of my NO vinyl for pennies - but I tend to agree with the earlier reply that all these "special" releases end up doing is filling the pockets of opportunists rather than ending up in the hands of genuine fans.

I'd wager that most of these "new" FAC 33s will end up on Ebay for £300+ Buy It Nows before close of business on Saturday. The really depressing thing is some fans will obligingly pay through the nose lining the pockets of people who have nothing to do with the band.

So a weak "Yay" for Record Store day; an easy pay day for people with no passion for music.

Or Ebay "powersellers" as they're sometimes known

If those bastards put this to sell on ebay for that price $$$ nothing is more fair than upload it and share with fans

Wondering how long to queue up to make sure I get a copy. Shop opens at 9:30, was thinking on making my way 8ish.

last year, I popped into Piccadilly Records in Manchester about 4pm after the footie to find next to nothing left. people had been queing since 6am for a 10am opening. even limited to 2 items each , they'd stripped the lot out. most of which seemed to go either on ebay for silly money , or squirreled away ,still shrinkwrapped, never to be played. i wager most people buying stuff tomorrow haven't even got a record player (see vinyl revival thread...) an altruistic idea hijacked by knobs yet again.

I havent got a record player these days.

I'd like one of those. The revised sleeve is by Parris Wakefield, interesting piece on their blog here.

They've redrawn the dog

Unfortunately the pursuit of money tends to destroy the integrity of most things.
