I support a number of stores here in So Cal/OC and they were very happy to pre-order and set aside my requests. I got 10 out of 11 albums that day. I spend ALL my music money with small independent stores and the staff know me by name. Best of all, I am constantly being exposed to new music. Record Store Day is a perfect way to bring focus to this class of merchant, who are not robot recommendation engines of the death star from Seattle.They provide a true service and are a joy to visit and buy from. I pity the collectors who resell on the secondary market. The items are truly cool, one of the kind stuff and worthy of a place in my portfolio.
Happy Record Store Day
Hope everyone had a chance to visit their closest brick & mortar record store today?
I scored BIG TIME and RSD just gets better and better every year. Pre-store opening crowds were at least twice as much as last year.
Also the customers and employees really seem to enjoy the excitement. No pushing or shoving and everyone was trying to help everyone else find what they were looking for. Real camaraderie.
The Emerson Lake & Palmer box set is SWEET!!! Their first (5) LPs on picture disc. It's really cool.
LONG LIVE VINYL...VINYL RULES!!!
