Record Store Day Drop 2 Update (9/26/2020 Releases)

RECORD STORE DAY DROP 2 UPDATE

Firstly we’ll go over again what our protocol is for tomorrow!

Our shop is still closed for walk-in shopping.

We are doing “curb-side” service – details here: http://redscrollrecords.com/2020/05/25th-of-may-2020-update-curbside-pick-up.html

Record Store Day this year has been split into three RSD DROPS which are happening/happened the last weekend of August, end of September and end of October. The second of those is tomorrow!

There will be no physical line so do not come to the store early to get in line.

The list of available RSD Drop 1 titles is below this explanation. Prices are included this year.

The virtual line started on Monday. Explanation of that in our last post here: http://redscrollrecords.com/2020/09/rsd-drop-2-get-in-virtual-line.html

If you are currently in the virtual line and you see that what you are looking for is not here and you’d like to get off the call list please let us know by replying to that email. If there’s any reason at all you’d like to give up your spot in line just email us. (redscroll@gmail.com)

You are still able to get in line, but keep in mind you will be added to the end of the line and it is a long one right now.

Records that are not claimed or picked up by 6PM tomorrow (RSD Drop 1 Day) will be listed online then.

We look forward to talking to and seeing many of you tomorrow! In the parking lot, wearing a mask with you in your car.

Before the list we’d like to reiterate that these are uncertain times and 2 months ago when we placed the order for these records things were also uncertain so we did not go extremely heavy on ordering – certainly we didn’t order like we would have for a normally scheduled non-pandemic event day. That said, we hope we can please and fulfill the requests of a good deal of you all. And of course, as is the nature of these things, much of what we ordered didn’t make it in time so we’ll post about those as we receive them. And if you have a request for something please let us know next week with an email or phone call and we can check on its availability. All that said, here’s what we will have available… Continue reading Record Store Day Drop 2 Update (9/26/2020 Releases) →

RSD Drop 2: Get in Virtual Line!

Our shop is still closed for walk-in shopping. We hope to have some news on some changes in a week or so – we will keep you all informed.

We are doing curbside service – details here: http://redscrollrecords.com/2020/05/25th-of-may-2020-update-curbside-pick-up.html

We are also buying collections by appointment. Please give us a call or send an email for that.

This coming Saturday is the next RSD Drop date (September 26th, 2020) and we will have some of those titles as we did last month.

First off, there will be no physical line so do not come to the store early to get in line.  On Friday at 6PM we will post the available titles on our website.

If you’d like to get in our “Virtual Line” for these titles then heed these instructions:

  1. Email us with your Name and Phone Number (NOW!). Our email = redscroll@gmail.com
  2. Await the reply that will confirm your place in line. Something like, “Thanks! You are #XX in line…”
  3. Saturday morning starting at 10AM will start calling folks in the order that has been set (by order of those emails that have come in and have been confirmed). Be sure to be ready to get a call from us!
  4. We will take your order and have it set aside for curbside pick up. (Curbside Pick Up protocol can be found at this link.) We will confirm the time you are coming to make sure we don’t have too many folks arriving at the same time as well.
  5. Come pick it up!

If at any point after you have confirmed your place in line you decide you would like to forfeit your spot please let us know.  Continue reading RSD Drop 2: Get in Virtual Line! →

Podcast

RSR PC 037 Ben Michael (WESU General Manager)

We talked to Ben Michael on episode 37. Ben is the General Manager of WESU, Middletown – 88.1FM, wesufm.org.  We talk to Ben about the current state of the station specifically and about what it’s like to operate in pandemic conditions at a University – Wesleyan in this case.

Ben Michael

We talked about the mission of WESU, the part it plays in the community and of some particular shows of interest on there. Some history of the station is touched on as well as some noted alumni. And we talk to Ben about his personal history with the station and with music in general and about his homestead farm with his mule and donkey and chickens and goats!

We once again recorded outside in our back parking lot to maintain a nice social distance and it once again led to us dealing with the elements – especially some strong winds and of course the passing trains.

We are doing “curb-side” service – details here: http://redscrollrecords.com/2020/05/25th-of-may-2020-update-curbside-pick-up.html

Record Store Day this year has been split into three RSD DROPS which are happening the last weekend of August, end of September and end of October. The first of those is coming up quick on August 29th. We’ve been getting inquiries on how that is working here so let’s go over the procedure.

First off, there will be no physical line so do not come to the store early to get in line.

Next Friday, August 28th, we’ll post up our list of available RSD Drop 1 titles. We’ll post this explanation again then too. Prices will be included this year.

RSD items are allowed to go online at 1PM. We will assess what we have and how the day is going between calls/pick-ups before we start listing online. We will also announce widely when we start making things available for online sales.
