I’ve no real problem with Record Store Day – I can’t say I’ll be camping out overnight with the eBay scalpers for any of this year’s offerings but ultimately it’s a bit of harmless fun. Nevertheless let’s have a but of harmless fun at RSD’s expense as we once again play…Record Store Day Bingo. Eyes Down..see how many you can spot:
1. Re-issue of album that is coming out later this year but in a different colour
2. ‘Bonkers’, ‘nutty’ and ‘totally loony’ collectors picture disc of a tune you can pick up in a charity shop for 5p. “What will they think of next ” etc…
3. More scrapings from the bottomless pit of shite bootlegs from Ozit / Dandelion (See pic)
4. ‘Exclusive’ debut release by a band literally nobody has ever heard of
5. Multiple ‘exclusive’ releases on different labels by same (dead) artist
6. Mega limited edition of 500 copies of something that would be lucky to sell 5 any other week
7. Dr Who
8. er…Nine Live albums by the same artist
9. “Official” reissues that the band have no knowledge of
10. Another Various Artists Mod/R&B/Soul comp
