I still don't think any of them will hit these shores...

None of my local shops are going to be carrying this. Somebody here PLEASE get it and rip it for us who are less fortunate.

i would like to agree but it's not like this was meant to be a beastie official record drop. they, along with all other bands participating, are lending a hand to record day or whatever its called.

And the last place told me they'd call me on Friday when it arrived.

1000 copies is not that rare.
Hell, the deluxe editions were 1000 copies and last time I checked they still had copies of all of those for sale.

Ok, so the one shop called me Wednesday night and said they had the rest of the shit I requested, but the Beastie vinyl was a no-go. They had already sold out of it.
Fuckers.

I plan on hitting my other spot EARLY tommorrow.

If this is the real deal, I'm officially done with this band.

[Kid Presentable]

^LOL you know you could never be done Robert.

[RobMoney$]

You know never to take anything I say seriously.
I'm not feeling what I've heard so far of Tadlocks Committee tho.

[Bernard Goetz]

Gah I found out tonight that there're 2 copies of this at the Fanueil Hall Newbury Comics in Boston but they open at 10am, when I'll be at work.
If anyone is in Boston reading this, you know where to go.

[Documad]

If my store only has two copies I will be fucked.

[RobMoney$]

Got 2 copies

Here's a little something for ya. on the first side.

[RobMoney$]

Lee Majors come again on the other side.

Both tunes are top notch remixes.
The Lee Majors mix is with Daft Punk, similar to the DJ Hero mixes.

[Ghouls_Night]

^^^^

As Rob said top notch remixes..

[Kid Presentable]

Time to EP up all this stuff and release Tadlock's part 2.2 with the shit we haven't heard yet?

[b i o n i c]

someone post them up online!

[Documad]

I won't be able to get one. I'm glad that some of you did!!!!

Two of my stores got no copies and the big store got two or three. I was in line there early but not early enough. I watched other people carry them off. My fault. I didn't take it seriously enough. If I was going to wait around for an hour, I should have been willing to wait around for a few hours.

When it came to the other stuff on offer, i have to say that the whole thing was a large disappointment. There are stores on that list of participants that barely sell any vinyl on a normal day. And they have almost no music selection period. They're full of non-music merchandise like hoodies. Those stores got a few Panera albums but they're theoretically participating. What's the point of that? The big store had more vinyl, but not enough to justify having 300 people line up. I've done better getting limited edition music on a normal Saturday.

[prof_d_boiz]

I was one of the lucky ones who was able to snag a copy.

I ended up visiting 4 stores in about a half hour before I found it though. It was walk in, ask if they had it, and walk out.

When I walked into the final store, I saw it sitting on the counter. Then the guy in front of me picks it up and buys it. I literally screamed out "NOOOOOOOOOO!" Luckily they had one more copy, which I quickly purchased before anyone else could get their hands on it.

I want to leave mine unopened so I will defer to the other folks as far as what is on it. However, it came in a plain white sleeve. The vinyl sleeves each have Beastie Boys written in the Too Many Rappers font. That's it.

Well, hope some other folks were equally successful. It definitely made for an exciting morning!

[RobMoney$]

Yeah, I got to the shop around 8am. First in line.
The next person to show up was the Mirmanee of the Bruce Springsteen fans.
I was forced to listen to how much of a Bruce fan she was, and how great of a person he is, and the shows she's been to, and how she's been following him for over 30 years but has never met him, and how her and her friends use to park in front of his house hoping to catch a glimpse of him, and blah, blah, blah, for the next two hours until the store finally opened.

Had around a dozen or so people in the que by the time they opened the doors. I grabbed everything I wanted and went to the counter where they had the Springsteen album behind the counter. The Manager told me he was keeping it back there because he knew if he put it on the shelf things could get violent. He was right.
I watched a 50something year old guy throw a complete temper tantrum in the middle of a store full of customers and staff because he was 3rd in line and didn't get a copy.
The manager just laughed in the guys face and walked away from him.
Told him "We made no promises to anyone that anything would be available".

Sorry about your damn luck.

They did limit each customer to one copy of each album, which was cool. I grabbed the Springsteen single for Miramanee and she grabbed a copy of the Beasties album for me and we traded outside after we left. So I was able to walk away with two copies.

Somebody post some pics, even if they're just cell phone pictures...

Please

Edit: Nevermind saw some on eBay, people are already asking $100 for them.

[RobMoney$]

Fucking Capitalist thieves.

[Kid Presentable]

I'm excited just reading about it. :|

[Micodin]

I managed to find 3 copies.

I copped 2 and my friend Doug bought the other.

I won't be able to listen to it until this evening because I gotta go into work.

I can post pics and reviews later.

[Documad]

Rob, did your store open at 9 or 10? My first store opened at 9 and I was there at around 8:15. I was about 60th in line, so I knew all hope was lost. From where I was standing, I could see the Beasties LPs, so at least I knew when they were gone and I didn't have to wait around for my turn in line.

I thought about it last night. I figured that there was a chance I'd have to be in line by 6 or 7 a.m. at the big store to have a chance but I decided it wasn't worth it. If it had been concert tickets, I'd have been there at 2 a.m.

[Documad]

1,000 is a lot of copies. I can't imagine people paying $100.

Plus I'm shallow. I pay more for LPs with good art.
