So where's the customary ELP live offering?
I think I'll be in for the Flaming Lips, Groundhogs, Howe Gelb and Jonathan Richman issues - all Drop 1 strangely.
ELP offering is a Pic disc of Tarkus.
The Bill Evans album was definitely on the UK list a wee while back, because I asked the owner of my local store about it. He told me he could order it, but (after tapping on his keyboard) said it would cost me £90 (see my post in this thread above.) That’s when I lost interest.I have no idea why, but I had assumed that RSD was RSD wherever it was, but I stumbled upon the release list for the US and it isn't the same as the UK, which is a serious PITA as the US drops include the Bill Evans - Behind The Dikes, 1969, officially previously unreleased, but not included in the UK lists.
Oddly, the US website lists quite a few stores in, or on the outskirts of, London as participating, but that is all for the UK. Are London stores getting US releases as well??????

Now I think about it, I do remember my store guy saying ‘that’s an American one’ when he was finding the price for me, and I had thought nothing of it. Maybe I had been looking at the US list too. Oddly it is shown as a July release there, although Intense Records (UK) list it for June. I might be concerned if I was thinking of buying a copy!Yes, I did follow that, but what is supposedly the UK list, on the .co.uk website, can be downloaded and it isn't on that.
Links above, apart from in my post, are to the US RSD website, where it is included.
As much as anything, I was wondering how the two lists might differ in total.
Maybe I had been looking at the US list too.
...although I’m sure I would have searched via the .co.uk site linked in the OP - oh well, it isn’t important, and there’s no point me challenging my dodgy memory. If I do go for anything it will probably be Charles Lloyd, and TBH I can even live without that.I would pretty much guarantee that Although the US site does list - guess - 20 or so London (only) shops.
Anyone ventured into the nasty toxic outside to buy anything today? I’ve not, I do rather want the Nubya Garcia 12”, though it is crazy expensive (when did a 12” single become >£20, and who exactly agreed that was ok?!) and I’m vaguely interested in the Steely Dan vinyl, but really that’s about it for this one. Not a lot shouting at me from the list.
