Record Store Day will return this year and the official date is April 16, 2011. Information of special releases should begin trickling in relatively soon.
Reckless had all the stuff I wanted last year but they also had a camped out line about 3 blocks long before the store even opened so I didn't get shit. Haha I have to rethink my strategy.
Exclusives are always gone a minute after the store opens its doors. Nonetheless, I'm always happy to drive out to Hollywood to visit Amoeba.
Don't get discouraged. I just went to a local record shop the other day and found about 8 copies of the Coheed and Cambria 7" picture disc for "Guns of Summer".
I'm excited. I found a store off the beaten track that usually still has some of the rarer 7" well into the day. Electric Fetus usually sells out of everything good as soon as the doors open at 8am. It's such a disappointment. Curious what comes out this year -- but definitely excited.
