It is the after Thanksgiving in the States and it is known as Black Friday. Because of that, there are not many new releases unless you are being released on Record Store Day – Black Friday…that list is at the bottom of the regular album releases. And for the regular releases there is nothing for me, but for Black Friday Record Store Day I would like the Collective Soul and my daughter wants the Olivia Rodrigo one. I also wouldn’t mind getting the Limp Bizkit one on CD but don’t tell anyone. Let me know what you want to pick up this week or what we may have missed. Thanks and have a great weekend.

I know up here they have a RSD title of Sven Gali’s debut Under The Influence. If Dad and Kurtis have a copy of that kicking around I will grab it. He opens at 8 so were getting there for 8 as were not going to stand in line this time….Maybe Collective Soul I will grab as well…or I might just look at used stuff lol
Thanks as always dude

What I bought last year was more than enough for me. I don’t need the picture disc. A lot of the stuff on RSD tells you if it will be exclusive or not and most of the stuff nowadays is not exclusive, but “First” meaning it is coming out soon. I’m not looking for exclusive stuff, I’m just looking for stuff I don’t have. This year, all I wanted was the Collective Soul live album and I don’t care it is first or exclusive, it was just one I didn’t have.

This is unfortunate and sad to hear. Of course it’s not surprising. It’s hard to sell anything these days. Many Kiss fans are also overly critical of the band, to the point that it’s hard to call the extreme ones “fans” at all. Ah well. It would be nice to get more stuff on value next year. I think we will. I just hope it’s something we really have been wanting.
