Next Saturday 21st April is the time when collectors and lovers of the sonic warmth of vinyl call their bank to increase their overdraft, extend their credit limit or perhaps remortgage their house. It's Record Store Day and it's shaping up to be a doozy right here in Glasgow. The good people of Monorail, LOVE Music, Nice 'N' Sleazy's, Insularis Records and more have pulled out the stops to ensure its as much about live performances, intimate settings and local music as it is about rare pieces of black plastic. This years RSD release list is almost a who's who of rock royalty and there's some fantastic items on there. I must say I am alarmed to say the least at the marked up prices of some items (must be noted that this is NOT the shops prices but the suppliers) but perhaps it has finally been noted that many RSD releases wind up selling for inflated prices on eBay days after.
Here's our Scottish Fiction dream list of what we think are the best picks of the list. Where applicable I've noted any special information next to the release:
