BF 'Georgia' EP - Record Store Day Release (DO NOT POST RIPS)

It wasn't on the main RSD UK list, but Banquet Records have definitely got them. They do a lot of imports though

Ahhh thats crap. Only the big time record dealers then. Ebay it is then

Some artists will release the songs digitally but not all. Typically if they do it isn't on RSD but a while later. It kind of defeats the purpose of RSD if you can just go to iTunes and get it there instead. I'm a completest myself and want to have every song ever recorded by artists I enjoy so I get both sides of the coin. I'm sure they'll show up in some capacity at some point for anyone who doesn't get the vinyl.

Yeah I don't mind a delayed digital release. If you're only going to put out a limited number of Vinyl then it's not really fair to deny other people a chance to hear the song just because they don't have a store with copies nearby. I really hope The Blues, Mary gets a release other than the boxset eventually too. It's the song I was looking forward to most but I can't afford the box set. And I saw him play twice in London last week and he didn't play it at either show which really sucked.

Called 3 different places in NYC, none of them have it. Beginning to think this is gonna be one of those things that I spend way too much money on EBAY for....

Well one just went on ebay for $61, so somebody clearly thinks everyone will sell out tomorrow! I'm not so sure, I think you'll get some stores selling them for a reasonable price. The expensive part will be postage for those of us outside the US.

If you're in the UK check out Banquet before eBay. Says on their website that whatever stock they don't sell in-store will go up online.

That's my plan A...they're usually pretty good for stuff you can't get elsewhere. Fingers crossed nobody else buys them!

it's a shame that it won't be released in Europe..I hope the online prices won't be too high...I really want the vinyl! let's hope it won't sell out and some are going to be online and will also be shipped to Europe!

For anybody thinking of going to Banquet today, they don't have them in yet apparently.

Had about 5 copies at Newbury Comics in Manchester, CT. Excited to listen

No DL code unfortunately

Interesting to note that Butch Walker had nothing to do with this. Brian, Ian, and Alex on guitars. Frank Mara on bass, Wes Kleinknecht is on drums and produced it. First listen impressions

Tin Pan Alley - Really awesome recording. Brian does some wonderful background harmonies and it just captures the song wonderfully

Low Love - Full band recording like how it's been played live lately. First thought is the vocals could maybe be a bit more powerful but overall really well done. Ian's slide and post chorus additions are great. Also really dig the drumming during the chorus. There's some chello on the last chorus that adds such a great melancholy. Sweet touch

Georgia - So nice to finally be able to hear the lyrics to this one. A little less aggressive than the live the version but damn I'm really into it. Great organ flourishes in the background, strong guitar, and just multiple hooks all over this song. Great writing by Brian.

Needless to say I'm happy. Very nice EP that I'll definitely be spinning again soon.

Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ had over 100 copies so I wouldn't be surprised if they have for sale online tomorrow.

Apparently 'A Wonderful Life' is on the RSD Sampler CD, which was available for free. There is one on eBay.

Also, I have just seen the fist copy of Georgia on eBay.

I got a copy at Newbury Comics in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA this morning. All the Newbury Comics stores opened at 8am this morning. The Georgia copies were on display at one of the tables close to the entrance and when I got there, they had two copies left. It is always a fun atmosphere and they did a great job with multiple tables spread out this year instead of having to crowd in one narrow aisle.

Apparently copies were available in Oslo, Norway. I am trying to find out if it's a European pressing. EDIT: No, judging by the back cover text, it appears to be the US one.

I went 0 for 4... so the online searching begins.

While ebay can be useful I do find them to be a bit overpriced. For example there are people selling Painkillers with a signed cover for much more than you can get it at Newbury's website. I'll post if I find a non-ebay sale here, after I place my order of course

Scored a late copy in Red Bank at jacks

Haven't listened yet but disappointed there isn't a DL card

found the mp3s, haven't listened yet though.

I am sure I will def not find it over here...I hope I can find one online...of course some already are up on ebay but these prices are too high...

Just listened and it great. Of course it's great.

Low Love is an amazing song in particular. Heard it live but didn't know it so it didn't resonate as much.

I'm hoping these became available to purchase online! Killing me not being able to hear it

I have a audio technica usb turntable and I ripped it to flac and apple lossless it sounds perfect I am probably the only one in the world that has the Georgia record on iTunes in apple lossless! I'd put it on you tube but I'm not sure if that's against dime store/you tube rules

Georgia is a really great song. If it had production up to the quality of the album tracks then it would be one of his best songs ever IMO, not that I'm complaining about this version. But that chorus is A+.
