Happy Record Store Day

Twist & Shout in Denver had close to 300 people lined up before they opened.

We went over to Black & Read and there was a much smaller crowd there.

My haul:

Genesis Spot The Pigeon EP Audio Fidelity 12" blue vinyl 33 1/3 and 45RPM

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals Grace Potter & The Nocturnals: Live at the Legendary Sun Studios Hollywood 12" Vinyl & CD

Various Artists Empire Records Soundtrack Ume 2 x 12" orange vinyl

Various Artists Pretty In Pink Soundtrack UMe 12" pink vinyl

Various Artists The Breakfast Club Soundtrack UMe 12" white vinyl

Plus a few others. Overall an excellent day. I was very glad to see so many people supporting their local stores. This is my new special holi"day" :-)

I don't get it. Why would someone go shopping for records on a day when the store is going to be swamped, waits just to get in, more waits to check out. ????????????????

The records that are released on RSD are VERY limited in quantity and the stores never know what they are going to get. Most of the titles in the store(s) I was in, sold out within just a few minutes. Kind of like a concert or World Series game or Super Bowl tickets.

It's the thrill of the hunt and the feeling of joy when you find your treasures. What a rush dude!
