Title: Record store day 2020 - 18 April
Post by: Potato on April 09, 2019, 09:31:06 PM
Record store day (https://recordstoreday.com/) is this Saturday 13 April.

Anyone planning on checking things out? What have you got your eye on from the special releases?

Not too much in the lists that I am excited about, but I have my eye on maybe the Office Space soundtrack, South Park soundtrack and Alien Weaponry - Tu.

My local record store has teamed up with the pub next door to put on some bands in the parking lot, so that should be fun.

What’s a decent vinyl player to get into the scene with. Do I need to drop a bunch of cash

I am not an expert and by no means am I an audiophile, so I have a pretty basic setup.

Marantz pm5005 amplifier
Audio Technica LP3 turntable
Q Acoustics 2020i bookshelf speakers

All up it probably cost me around AU$1000, but I waited until all the components were on sale before I bought.

You don't need to spend big money to get into it, but I would recommend going for something slightly above the entry level gear, just because I have read that cheap stuff can damage your records.

If you are looking for good advice, r/vinyl had some great FAQs and buyer's guides and r/turntables is also a good place to ask for advice.

Like all hobbies, it will always depend on your budget and expectations.

Record Store Day 2020 (https://recordstoreday.com/) is on 18 April.

Anyone planning on spending far too much money on pieces of cardboard and black (or other coloured) plastic?

There is a reddit thread which has a few leaked lists etc
Imgur album of UK list from Long Live Vinyl magazine
If the leaks are correct, then I am interested in getting the following:
