I'd be willing to say Blind Melon is one of the best bands of 90's. Their one hit was both a blessing and a curse, but I bet most people haven't even heard their other releases which are damn near perfect albums.

Their self-titled album will always hold a special place in my heart.  Heard about them about 6 months before No Rain hit the radio.  Their other releases are also wonderful.  Totally agree they're one of the best. 

I want to thank Vas for scoring me a copy of 333 yesterday.  I heard Sound Garden had several copies, and he was able to snag us both one on his way home! What a class act! Now I have my first and second choices for RSD in my collection. 

lots of copies of Flaming Lips' Zaireeka at Sound Garden….don't think very many people bought that one.

Anyone know where I can find a copy of "Amusement" by Husker Du?

here are the list of stores that were getting RSD stuff from Numero Group who released the Husker Du single.

Does Boards of Canada's record-store clue point to new album?

Fans suspect that five other clues ? yet to be found in vinyl shops worldwide ? will come together to reveal message

I still cant believe Sound Garden still had copies of 333 late Sunday afternoon.

Maybe since they're from b'more they got a bunch of copies!

I can't imagine Double Dagger has a very big fan base. 


Anyway I believe that most people buying Record Store Day releases aren't even listening to them.  I bet most people just buy it to collect it.  With the misguided thought that the stuff will be worth something in 30 years.  I find collecting things to collect them to be the worst human quality.

Think it was mentioned in this thread that other Baltimore stores were sold out.

Guess I can put this here since it was a Record Store Day release. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOmKGjy-Ct0

All about the last 1:50. Holy fucking shit.

There is your guitar rock.

I saw a few copies of that at Ka-Chunk in Annapolis on Sunday. Not sure if they're still there, but give them a call. Staff is really friendly.

Atomic, you are NEVER helpful. 

Of course Double Dagger has a fanbase.  Especially in baltimore.  That is why most stores were sold out.  Maybe Jimmy at Sound Garden was able to get extra copies because he knows the band.  Who knows?  Anyways I am SO happy I got one. 

And if they have little fanbase like you state, why then are they the front page story of City Paper this week? http://citypaper.com/news/issue-17-the-retirement-of-double-dagger-1.1477988

or why did BOTH of the Best Releases lists that were posted on here, feature Double Dagger?

And collecting things is the "worst human quality"?  Not hate, or anger, or rape, or fear, or killing people for fun or any of a million things? 

Wow… I just realized i wasted my time answering a post of yours.  I try to not do that.  My bad.

When does size of fanbase have anything to do with who appears on the cover of the city paper.   Beach House didn't even make their top 10 end of year list of local music when they released "Teen Dream".   Nevermind that was on most lists of best albums in the world by almost all serious publications.  Somone at the City Paper likes Double Dagger.  That doesn't make them popular.

Double Dagger isn't that popular.  Even in Baltimore.  Maybe most stores didn't even bother to get copies.  What other stores were even participating in record store day in baltimore?  I went to true vine last year on record store day and they had like 2 different releases.
