Caitlyn Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 According to Property of Zac and this vinyl site, Paramore may be releasing a 12" vinyl for "Ain't It Fun" on Record Store Day (April 19). I'll let you guys know when this becomes official and where it will be available (most likely a limited number online and in select stores). Who's going to grab a copy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Seems it's pretty much official at this point. Its b-side will be a remix of the song and the record itself will be "broken heart shaped." I would love to get this, but there are no record stores by me. Of course, I'll be in Boston, where they have one of the best record stores, the week BEFORE Record Store Day, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I would love to get my hands on this...but there are no record stores anywhere near me. I don't even know if Connecticut has any at all. Oh well. Sounds like a really cool vinyl to collect. I love how Paramore participates in Record Store Day with such cool offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 There are two record stores on my campus, and I meant to visit them tomorrow anyways since the weather is supposed to be nice. I'll do some asking around and see if they expect to get any of the vinyls. I can try to grab you guys a copy if I find any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Very cool! Yeah, record stores have a choice of what they order (or more, they can send in a preferred list of Record Store Day releases), so if you find out they're selling it by you and you can pick up a couple, I could definitely pay you back. If not, I have some friends in Boston and Philly who may be able to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 The one that I was able to stop in said they currently don't know what they are able to order but will know soon. They told me to call about a week before RSD and they'll see what they can do. Hopefully this leads to something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 MTV posted an article with a photo of what the record looks like. Here's a snippet of the article: Usually sounding like a broken record is considered a bad thing. Not so with Paramore’s Record Store Day release, which was designed to look like smashed vinyl. MTV News has the photo of that sure-to-be-coveted piece of plastic. “The Paramore ‘Ain’t It Fun’ 12′ was designed by Hayley [Williams],†Record Store Day founder Michael Kurtz told MTV News. “And, essentially, it looks like somebody broke the record. That was the picture she drew for the label and they figured out a way to do it.†The rest just goes into Paramore's past involvement with Record Store Day, but if you are interested in reading it, click here.

Dustin Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 I want itttt. Reminds me of The Peace of Wild Things vinyl, minus the yellow. Whyyyy must there be no record store near me ughhhh waaahhhh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted April 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 So the record WILL be available online, but in limited quantity. If you want one from the web store, be sure to hop online at 10am EST this Saturday. I'm still hoping to hunt a few copies down, but I might be going home for the weekend, as it is Easter (why does everything have to happen the same weekend?!).

Caitlyn Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 It seems like the site crashed for most people and prevented several (including me) from getting the album. I searched two record stores for copies but did not come across anything. There is another one I might check out by the end of this week, but I feel like I'm not going to have any luck. Did anyone manage to snatch up a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caitlyn Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Fueled By Ramen posted the Dutch Uncles remix on their SoundCloud page if you'd like to listen to it! Also, Paramore's vinyl was #8 on Billboard's Top Vinyl Singles for the week ending 4/20 (source). Record Store Day was very successful this year altogether (independent record stores seen an increase in sales of +91%, making it the best RSD yet). While CD sales are dropping, vinyls are rising apparently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
