From our friends at Deeside Vinyl, this really sums up how many true independents feel about RSD.
Meanwhile, we here at Cool Cat Records are open 5 days a week and you can find us at many pop-up record fairs around the Liverpool area on most weekends with our friends at Groove & Grind Mini Record Fair π
Pop on and see us, support your local independent record shop! πβ₯οΈ
Ah yes, Record Store Day. That magical time of year when βsupport your local record shopβ translates to βfinancially stress-test it for 48 hours straight.β
Nothing says love for small businesses like major labels pressing 15,000 copies of a βlimitedβ picture disc that nobody asked for. Because what every carefully curated shop needs is a large lump of cash tied up in glow-in-the-dark reissues and quasi-bootleg live albums that arrived with the urgency of a Marvel film premiere and the shelf life of a Christmas pudding.
All that said, respect and credit where itβs due to the shops that do take part in Record Store Day, we hope you all have a prosperous and successful weekend!
Happy Record Store Day everyone π
P.s. if youβre in the market for second hand and preloved vinyl, CDs and cassettes we have you covered all year round π
