Iggy's message is very cool. But here in Ohio, I have grown jaded as to RSD. I'm done lining up for hours in advance to enter some crowded store only to be taken advantage of. The labels have shown a marked tendency to put out overpriced faux "limited edition" stuff that proves to be not-so-limited and just overpriced. Is it the tail that wags the dog? The loyal consumers should be rewarded, not taxed, for their enthusiasm. Cool, truly limited stuff ought to be released in ample quantities (ample quantities for one day of sales) and at true bargain prices to reward those who have made the resurgence of vinyl possible. Until then, I will celebrate RSD at home, playing vinyl.
