Northern Star is finally being released on vinyl!

[octophone]

All the RSD releases will fall wildly from their midweek positions - it's a purely physical thing and the streaming for the usual hangarounds will force them down, as well as most of them being sold out before Saturday was over. A few will hang on but most will leave the 100. The sales chart will be wild.

Yes, I was going to say the sales chart will be the more interesting one this week.

I didn’t think it had gone THAT expensive really. You can get a copy for £65ish. I am holding on for longer with mine.

This is the awkward period of RSD, one that the pandemic eliminated. Will there be copies online on Friday or not? Jump now at £65 and find you could have got it for £30 or don't jump, there are none anywhere come Friday and the price goes sky-high?

I wish it were around £65!

Stop being selective- it’s literally sold for under £65 four times in the last day!

There’s load of auctions under and a Buy It Now for £67.50 too!

My god at the REISSUE of a SOLO ALBUM by BRIAN MAY being #3 in the midweeks

I’m officially joining the #northernstartothetop campaign so Melanie can jump 80 places and defeat the evil that lurks among us

Brian's is a proper reissue though, not a RSD released

I know and I think that makes it even more shocking Because the fanz aren't just buying something limited for the sake of it, they must actually want it

At the end of the day I just have a vendetta against the album because of the cover art

 

[octophone]

That "GOLD SERIES" logo, alongside the original cover, makes it clear that May was exactly 0% of the visual direction Queen. Except maybe "The Miracle", a cover that gives me the boak to this day.

Northern Star is back on vinyl for National Album Day, and this time it's in Orange!

 

[BoysForSeles]

That reminds me I still haven’t opened my RSD vinyl from last year, hope this doesn’t bring its price down, I really should flog it.

 

[octophone]

Too late - prices will already be sliding because of the new pressing.

 

[Sheena]

Prices haven’t done anything anyway- it’s been readily available for near RRP on Discogs for ages. A friend gave me a copy to sell for him ages ago via my account and I’ve not bothered.

Happy release day!

It does look nice, to be fair.

Still not buying it.
