I have mixed feelings on record store day. I remember when it started. Cool limited s**t to get people to stop buying online and get back in physical locations. Hell, we did an unofficial RSD release in 2017 with Ratstab. Since it's start major labels have grasped onto this day. Pushing Fleetwood Mac picture discs and Beatles branded record players and more. There is always cool stuff, but it's less and less. What helped push people back to stores is what is raising prices and pushing people back away. As lovers and makers of physical media, there is nothing I want more than thriving, brick&mortar record stores. But they should be thriving 365, not banking on one day filled with people who won't darken their doors again until next year. Anyways, if you are going to shop today, shop small. Maybe skip the RSD releases and just dig in the bins. If you need suggestions of where to go: and more. Find the small store and buy some records. If they don't have our stuff, tell them to reach out to us or
