With summer closing in and Record Store Day 2021 Drops now announced many may have gleamed the goody list. For those interested post items under serious consideration. For those whose interest is elsewhere let the rest of us enjoy sharing and discussing. After all regarding our affliction It is All About the Music:
I’ll kick this off with one I am most curious, Charlie Parker Bird in L.A. a 4 LP set on the Verve label. Considering Parker has been issued multiple times on multiple formats with varying sound quality I wonder what this release brings to the table. It appears to be unreleased recordings:

Enjoy it, last time I was in an Amoeba was in the Haight. Sure would like to return, 
Thought I’d ressurect this thread, for those who may be interested in what is available for thr 2021 RSD Drops:
Here is yet another on my wish list, as there have been no reissues since a French 1997 on Kalakuta Records:
Thanks for the reminder - I need to look at these closer and plan accordingly; I’ve marked the dates, but now need to prioritize what I’d like to pickup.
Barney Willen has been pushed to the July 17th RSD Drop, 
Hargrove/Miller have also pushed to July 17th RSD Drop.

The first track from the Harold Land is on Qobuz - some nice hard bop.

Did anyone have success this morning? I confess I didn’t make it out. Sitting here wondering if it’s worth venturing out to see what is left. See there’s 10 copies of Quiet Kenny on Discogs for $85-350

Crazy yes…limited to 500.
I recommend to get the Steely Dan albums and the Ndegeocellu early.
…oh, just saw only the latter is available still at the official site
In the past my local indie store opened at 8 for RSD, so I stopped by at 7. Today they open at 10, but they were handing out numbers. I got #19 and went home to have breakfast with the wife and went back at 10 and there were about 100 people in line. Grabbed my place in line and was able to score these:
Steely Dan - Both
The Who
Tears for Fears
The Zombies
Tom Petty
O.A.R.
Robert Plant
Really wanted Quiet Kenny, but they did not have it.
It’s so crazy…got a last one for normal price after long search at an Italian site with Italian language only…
Vinyl interest is so big now that even releases with 10.000 pressings (this was 500) sell out within hours.
