Record Store Day Drop #2 Pick Ups 2020

Well with another Record Store Day coming up on Saturday October 24th, which will be drop number 3 for 2020. I figured it was time to write about what I got on RSD drop #2. There wasn't a whole lot that I HAD to have on this drop other then the Roger Waters - The Wall Live In Berlin. The record store I frequent here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada sadly didn't get any copies. But lucky for me, i have a great buddy Nazz Nomad who went to a different record shop managed to find a copy for me, which really made my day. So without further a due, here is what I did pick up. * Roger Waters - The Wall Live In Berlin Nice to finally have this on vinyl. I remember watching this on Much Music back in 1990. An incredible line up of musicians playing The Wall in Berlin to commemorate the fall of the wall. Pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 8000 copies. This helps with my The Wall vinyl collection.

My The Wall vinyl collection.

* The Allman Brothers Band - Fillmore West 1-31-71 This was another record I was looking for and really didn't think I would get a copy considering I didn't get into the record shop until a half hour after it opened. But lucky for me I managed to get the last copy. And what a great live album this is. Not to be confused with the Live at the Fillmore East that came out many years ago. This is a live recording from the Fillmore West in San Francisco. First time on vinyl and limited to 6000 pressings. The sound is amazing and there is a wicked version of "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed". Very surprised this wasn't already put out. The album came with a glow in the dark insert which is numbered and looks awesome. Mine is number 2451/6000. Looks great in the dark!

* Wilcovered - Various Artists Being a big fan of Wilco I figured this would be an intersing listen, and it is. Originaly this came as a free CD with an issue of Uncut Magazine out of the UK, now pressed to vinyl for the first time. Limited to 2500 pressings. A lot of interesting artists all covering Wilco songs, artists such as Courtney Barnett, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo, Kacy & Clayton and a lot of other bands and artists I had never heard before. A pretty decent record.

* The Replacements - The Complete Inconcerated Live A triple album of a live recording from 1989 at the University of Wisconsin. Holy fuckin' shit is this ever good. Such a great live band when they wanted to be. Loving this album. Limited to 8500 copies.

* Corb Lund - Cover Your Tracks This album sees Corb Lund whom used to make Edmonton home covering a bunch of artists such as AC/DC "Ride On" which features Ian Tyson, a really cool version I have to say as well as covers of Dr. Hook "Cover Of The Rolling Stone", Billy Joel's "It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me", and Bob Dylan "I Shall Be Released" plus a few others. This was limited to 1000 copies.

A good haul of records considering I didn't think there was much that I wanted. Now for next Saturday's Record Store Day dop #3. get out and support your local record shop. Good times!!!
