"Scaffolding", probably.
Some years ago I've got two fine pirate replicas from both ones, but pressed in coloured/transparent vinyl. Both of them sounds nicely and the sleeves really look as the original ones.

So what is The Cure. This is JD news. I think you have the wrong thread.

I don't understand that word. What does it mean? I know the word 'rumours' though. Is it the same thing?

No.
definitely a rumour at the minute, I am waiting for "official" confirmation either way. Yes it was posted on the Neworderweb.net and Factory Communications Ltd pages I admin on Facebook but wasn't posted by me.....
I guess we won't be able to officially confirm until either the RSD US or RSD UK sites publish their lists of exclusive releases, but Banquet Records already has the 12" listed. This is probably the most concrete example I've found on-line thus far.

This is happening.
EDIT - I have just had official confirmation that Joy Division - An Ideal For living WILL be released for Recordstoreday 2014.
further info here:
A small point but I thought Frank Arkwright already remastered A.I.F.L. in 2010 as part of the +- box set? Not that I'm complaining, any improvement in sound however recent is welcome. The sleeve is also quite cool... despite my heavy apathy towards the industry "gimmick" which is RSD I may attempt to get a copy this year. A load will inevitably end up going for silly amounts on Ebay as the previous white Ceremony 12" did.
Which reminds me, the second HMV event to give away further copies of the clear Movement LP seemed to die a very quick death. Wasn't the Hooky/Manchester giveaway cancelled due to "stock problems" or some such? I wonder if this has this been completely abandoned or if there are plans to revisit the idea. The initial hundred have held their value pretty well; one is currently on Discogs for £170 at the mo.
Turntable Lab now has this listed as one of the releases that they will be stocking on RSD. This lends further proof to the fact that this is indeed happening. Secondly, with Turntable Lab being US-based, it looks like this will be an international RSD release and not exclusive to the UK (like the 2011 "Ceremony" single).
Also, I can't recall where I read it, but saw at another site that this "An Ideal For Living" reissue uses Frank Arkwright's remastering from the "+ -" box set.

Why homage the scaffolding sleeve instead to re-release this one with the ORIGINAL scaffolding picture?

All will be revealed in due course ![[:|]](/emoticons/ohwell.gif){kind=small}

Fuck Record Store Day in the ear. That day is always full of collector not collectors, but tout scum who will never unwrap and love the music and instead put it on Ebay, and who only go to indie stores one day a year. In order for me to get this, I'd have to get up at about 4.30, get the 5.12am train, and queue outside a store in London at random, hoping it gets allocated some overpriced vinyl and I then get lucky enough to be near enough to the front of the queue to buy it. Nah, I'm too old to be treated like shit.
That probably should be a blog post on fuckrecordstoreday.com instead!

Collectors by their very nature don't tend to put stuff on Ebay. They keep it and are usually well into/passionate about the band.
I heartily agree with the RSD-slagging sentiment of your post but I'd remove the "collector" bit ![[;)]](/emoticons/wink.gif){kind=small}

Hands up who got one of these on Saturday. I think they should change the name of the day to Record Store Morning, as most of the good shit is usually gone by 10am.
On the plus side, I caught several "artistes" live for free. Toy at Rough Trade East who I'd seen before and was happy to catch again. They have a nice line in psychedelic wig-out indie rock, with a hint of electro rock thrown in. Then Edwin Collins at Rough Trade West, outside their window, literally on the street; no stage. When he mentioned that Paul Cook (Sex Pistols) was among the crowd I turned to my mate and said "where?". It turned out he was right beside us and probably heard me, so I tried to play it cool after that. Then finally Ruts DC (formerly The Ruts) on Berwick Street for a bit of Staring At The Rude Boys. Their reggae stuff was surprisingly enjoyable too.
I grabbed a copy. Shocked they had it at my little store outside the state capital of Pennsylvania. He actually has 2 copies left...
Also bagged the Tears for Fears ep and the Bowie "1984" 45. Wanted The Cure/Dinosaur Jr. Split 7" of Just Like Heaven, but alas it was gone by the time I visited the store. 45 minutes after opening.
As for the touts, the gentlemen, if you wish to call him that, that grabbed the only copy of REM Unplugged at our store, was heard stating outside the store that it would be on Ebay in the hour, which led to the store owner taking his photo and claiming he would keep it behind the counter for next year and bar the guy from the store. Now, that is some funny shit.

I got one, but missed the Bowie. Also in my nabbed LCD Soundsystem, CHVRCHES & The The. Ouch! That hurt my wallet.

I have no independent record shops anywhere near I live, so I had no chance to get hold of any "Record Store Day" stuff. Oh well...
Anyway, it looks like Paul Weller's had enough of it now!
