I support 3 different record stores in NJ all year round. I go to them usually once a month and always walk away purchasing about $100.00 at each store. Record store day is about promoting the store so they can make a profit, and if in doing so they happen to be nice to you as a customer, great, but they dont stay in business to lose money. I went to one RSD last year and had a nice time, live music (folk singer playing guitar), and spent over $100.00 there, received 3 CD's, two no-name bands and one Dylan tribute CD free. So yes, by all means get out and go to RSD, but also going there at other times will do far more to support brick and mortar vinyl/CD stores.
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!!!
