Record Store Day
Apr 13, 2014, 20:44
Aside from checking out Public Service Broadcasting at their signing session at Pop Recs in Sunderland next Saturday (and hopefully securing a copy of their excellent new single on 45), I won't be bothering queueing up outside any of my local record shops for Record Store Day.

For one thing, there's very few of the advertised exclusives that appeal to me, and the chances are that those that do will still be in the racks for months afterwards if previous RSDs are anything to go by; for another, the shoving, elbowing and general obnoxiousness of many of the once-a-year shoppers really gets my goat; and thirdly, the prices of the artefacts in question seem to get sillier every year (£16 for a pink vinyl 7" 'See Emily Play' last year, for example: you're 'avin a larf).

I don't need a dedicated, hyped up day to support my local record shops as I shop in them all year round. And I want to spend my hard-earned moolah on records I genuinely want to play and enjoy, not on sealed and shrink-wrapped "limited editions" that will appear on eBay for three times their already barmy prices within days of the event.
