Record Store Day UK 2012
This Saturday (21st) sees the latest Record Store Day for UK independant shops. In it's 4th (or 5th) year now, it's been getting bigger every year with around 400 individual releases this year!

Record Store Day came into being in 2007 when over 700 independent stores in the USA came together to celebrate their unique culture. The UK followed suit and 2012 will see the fourth celebration of the UK's unique independent sector. This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, meet & greets with artists, DJ's, in store quizzes and many other events.
This year in Sister Ray we have Jim Kerr & Charlie Burchill (from Simple Minds) appearing to do a signing session, Billy Bragg playing live, and Bob Stanley (Saint Etienne) and Pete Paphides (journalist) working behind the counter!
So, good idea or bad idea?“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.” - Gutle Schnaper Rothschild

It'd be a bad idea for us to buy any LPs, our record player is stowed away somewhere and we're in the process of ditching our CDs! It's kind of sad in a way.
The Record Store day is a noble effort and probably good fun for those involved though. I'm not enough of a vinyl fan to take part.Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!
