Unless you happen to live in or near a major city that is home to an independent record store that was featuring a live in store performance, Record Store Day can be summed up in one word. LAME!
The promises of free promotional label mixes and limited releases was a bust. Nothing free at Phoenix Records. A limited edition seven inch single by REM for sale? That would have been really cool 20 years ago. Don't get me wrong, any excuse to go record shopping is a good one, but the expectations of the day being something special were a big let down.
Well, it was a good idea. Perhaps next year there will be a bit more to offer.
