Happy Record Store Day

I went to the Record Collector in Bordentown, NJ. Tons of LP's, some very collectable but most between $9 and $19. I dropped a total of $150.00 there for a lot of vinyl, well worth it. They had a woman singing and playing acoustic guitar, she was from Connecticut,very good stuff. The store wasnt too crowded, maybe 20-25 people there. The main thing is I was happy to obtain my vinyl there and in the doing, support a small business, which is the whole idea of Record Store Days. It's refreshing to actually see the condition of the vinyl first-hand instead of waiting for something you ordered online to arrive, possibly damaged or not in the condition the seller told you it was. I like being able to check the run-out on the record to look for pressing numbers and mastering house symbols. And I left the store with 6 giveaway CD's-not anything great except for one sampler that had groups such as Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, and The Black Keys. Oh, and the vinyl? The Best of Percy Sledge, Okkervil River, Tim Buckley on 180 gm vinyl, Albert King, Little Milton, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Chester and Lester, Memphis Slim, Jimmy Reed, JJ Cale, Atomic Rooster, Spirit,the first Procul Harum LP, Pacific Gas and Electric, Moby Grape, The Nice, Cowboy Junkies, and April Wine. All in all, a great day. This is why I go to stores like this and Princeton Record Exchange and Vintage Vinyl in Fords. Support these record stores all year long, not just on Record Store Day!!!
