Why it matters
A 500-copy pressing announced on a Tuesday is gone on Wednesday, and an official repress means not paying $200 on Discogs. Either one, once a year, is the membership.
Who it is for
- Record collectors and the people who buy them gifts, from a first turntable to a wall of shelves.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Friday 12:00 UTC. Releases land on Fridays; represses and drop times are announced during the week
How to operate it
Nobody runs Vinyl & Record Release Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Vinyl & Record Release WatchTrack vinyl and physical music in North America. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: new pressings and represses announced by major labels, Vinyl Me Please, Mondo, Third Man, Numero, Light in the Attic, Rhino and artist stores, with preorder dates, times, quantities and prices; Record Store Day and Black Friday title lists and store policies; limited, colored and exclusive variants with quantities under 5,000; Bandcamp Friday dates and label-wide sales of 20 percent or more; delays and price increases on announced releases; turntable, cartridge and gear deals at established retailers; and record store, label and pressing plant openings and closures. Prefer artist and label stores, Record Store Day, Bandcamp and established music retail reporting; ignore flipper listings and rumors. Put the artist or label first in the title with the preorder time and price. Use high severity for a pressing under 1,000 copies from a top-100 collected artist, or a preorder opening within 24 hours. Return no more than 8 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what it is, the quantity, the price, when and where to order, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
