RECORD STORE DAY, A DAY TO REMEMBER.
What day, thanks so much to everyone for making this our busiest day at the shop to date, but far more importantly a day to remember for many reasons and so much to take in.Starting with the queue, were Tony from Wallasey got first spot at 5.45pm Friday evening.Last Year was early but this was so unexpected and with many following shortly after, by 9pm there was the makings of a sizeable queue.We had a Tim celebrating his Birthday overnight(thats dedication),three ladies on the way back from the pub in the early hours who spotted the queue and vowed to return  with bacon sandwiches, which they did to feed the many, just wish i knew who they were to thank them.We opened the shop at about 8.45 am just after Rubens had been down to the shop with Free Coffees, not forgetting Richer Sounds of Chester who handed out many goodie bags.Then it was straight into those RSD releases, such a lovely experience to be a small part such an amazing Global event. As always so much joy to to be found from people in the queue who all have their own stories to tell.With the Record Fair kicking off just after 9am special thanks to the dealers who provided a great event for all and Ros,Dave and Chris who helped out on the day.The Live music upstairs at the Daniel Owen Community Centre was off the scale, thanks to Tom for doing such a great job on Sound, Kavus Torabi for his cosmic spell binding performance and Sendelica for nearly taking the roof off,loved it.Last but not least Pat, James and Sophie , we all had a lovely day and hope you did too.
We are so lucky, thank you!
Colin
