Record Store Day 04/22/17 - El Dingo - 04-23-2017
How have I never posted about this?
RSD started in 2007, but I didn't start going till 2012.
My first experience was at Amoeba in Berkeley and I was underwhelmed. The selection was minimal (about 100 titles, many of them 7" singles). It was mainly indie, live and 'demo' releases.
The following year I went and the event had grown into 'limited' major-artist albums and box-sets.
The last 3 years I have been going to 1234-Go! Records in Oakland. I don't buy a lot, just the stuff I'm interested in.
This year's haul:
Star Wars 10" (Main theme + Celebration March)
The Beatles 7" (Strawberry Fields + Penny Lane)
Sunny Day Real Estate "The Rising Tide" (Clear vinyl)
Blade Runner - Vangelis OST (pic disc)
Harry Nilsson - Nilsson Schmilsson (white/Yellow vinyl)
My nephew asked me to grab something called "Soul Assassins" but it was sold out when I was let in. I got there at 5:50AM and was 32nd in line (8:00 AM store opening).

That explains the long line I saw when I drove by Streetlight Records just before they opened.
