Every day is a potential record store day for me :-) I wish them luck with it but I find it a complete pain as the independent shops struggle to cope with the one day influx of customers and I therefore find it more difficult to get to the cash till to spend my hard earned.

Anyway, I went late today and picked up a couple of record store day releases that I look forward to spinning later.

I went to two local records store today (St. Louis, MO, USA). One was pretty low key, the other had live bands, wine, and beer.

I bought a 180 gr. copy of The Doors (mono), and the Cannonball Adderly Quintet in San Francisco. Right now I'm playing them with a NAIT XS on loan while waiting for a UnitiQute to arrive.
