The big day is nearly upon us. We love RSD here at Plectrum HQ. It's a great chance to catch up with old vinyl friends, make new ones and well, see the ones that are never away (the Plectrum's Dick and Barry's!). There's also a shed load of fantastic vinyl exclusives available. And Run The Jewels viewfinder, The Flaming Lips comic and Rega's RSD RP1 turntable (only 500 available globally).
We're planning on hosting the event just like last year. Doors (well, gate) open at 8.00am. Anyone queuing please be mindful that we're in a residential area - many of our neighbours have young children and work in the morning. Just be awesome like last year! Mrs Plectrum will be providing tea/coffee and breakfast rolls for the early birds. Yeah, she's the best!
Weather permitting (please don't rain, please don't rain, please don't rain) we'll be selling the RSD stock alfresco. The shop will of course be open. This is Record Store Day. It's a celebration of the indie shop. There's 1,000's of titles available, new and used. We'll also have bargain bins because who doesn't like a vinyl bargain? Everyday is Record Store Day here (except Sunday and Monday, they're for listening).
Heartfelt thanks for all your support over the last year. You've been fantastic. For those who've been messaging and emailing me (Matt) over the last few days, please introduce yourself so I can put a face to the name.
Viva vinyl. Viva music. Viva be excellent to each other.
Big love. Matt. xxx
