Record Store Day 2025

For anyone unfamiliar with the reference

Only one item I want for this year; Charli XCX - Number 1 Angel. It wouldn't even be for me...it is for a friend that wasn't into vinyl when it was released as part of the gatefold package with Pop 2 back in '18. 10k copies is probably not that many with last year's brat having sold well over 30k across all variants.

I return home from Japan vacation on 4/10, then work the next day until 5:30 AM the following day. I don't know if I'll have the energy to stay up 20+hrs just for one RSD item.

How Does Your Garden Grow by Better than Ezra is pretty underrated. Never got a vinyl release. Weirdly, I have it on DVD-Audio as a 5.1 release that was a passion project of a guy who was from New Orleans and loved the band and that album so he got it released.

Kevin Griffin now runs an annual fest in Franklin, TN and the band often plays there.
I know a guy who played on this album. Who was the guy who put the 5.1 release out? It's probaby one the co-founders of the same TN fest.

The guy behind the idea was Richard LaBonte. He started a company called Music Valet to do more projects like this but it didn't take off. A bit ahead of his time given what you can do now with Dolby Atmos for music releases.
