[kj] Record Store Day has become a joke

[Neil Perry]

Sadly, our favourite band dropped a bollock with this one. The whole point
of record store day is to get people
into their local independent record shops. Which is why 99% of bands doing
releases for RSD make sure it is
something special - unreleased, long unavailable, new songs on a 7" etc
etc. But not our boys, oh no.
Just a cd single with three songs previously available. Even if you don't
have any unreleased tracks, at least
make an effort - coloured vinyl 12", stick in a poster of Colesy's art,
then the completist in me would
have gone for it. As it was, it was a pathetic effort! Doh, etc.
