Thanks (as usual) for the heads up spartanmanor!
That VU release does sound interesting... I'm not sure what to expect quality-wise though.
I'm looking forward to the Dr. Dog EP on this list. I have really enjoyed all of the albums from this Philly-based band, but I think they improve with each release. EDIT: Just heard the whole EP on soundcloud... I don't think it's quite as good as the last LP, but I'm still going to pick up the vinyl record when it comes out.

There are a few on the list I wouldn't mind having if I can get back in town soon enough after Thanksgiving with my family.
I might have to get up early, for that one. 
FYI- I believe that VU release already exists in "bootleg" form.

It always seems to be floating around in the shops here. The quality of the recording is pretty good. The quality of the pressing itself is also quite good.

Yes, Record Store Day does two special events a year one in April and one in November with limited special releases.

Is there a way to make sure that the store I'm going to will get the albums I want? Or does every store get a few?
Thanks!

I would call up your store and see if they are participating and let them know what you want.
My guy tells me these will NOT be limited release so there is no need to get up early.

Even better! I think we are heading back to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving, so I'll have to figure out which record store we will be near.
I'm not concerned about anything special or limited edition, I just want the album. I just don't want to pay the ~$100-200 that Morning View brings on eBay right now. :sigh:

So you
cant order these online? Have to go to a store. Have no idea where the closest one would even be to me. Not really any record stores close. There is a store in Tulsa I go to but not this type. Nirvana looked like a good one.

The Record Store Day phone app will show you where the nearest store is.

You cannot pre order or buy before that day. Stores have no idea what they are getting, they can request items but might not get them. If a store pre sells or does pre orders they will lose their chance to participate in the future. You have to go to the physical store to purchase no online sales. EBay of course afterwards as the flippers try to get as many as they can. The idea is for you to support the local record store to keep them around. Each store has to sign a contract of sorts to state you will only sell that day in your store no online pre sells, no day before for your buddies, etc. My good friend owns a record store and I go to both events each year. He has lost friends over not breaking the rules and guaranteeing them a copy. My opinion is they weren't friends to begin with, good riddance.
