Best day ever thought up.

Some people go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Great sales...and...crowds? I don't really know. I'm not a day after Thanksgiving shopper. The one (shopping) day that I look forward to is in April. It's a Saturday typically in the middle of the month. It's called Records Store Day click here to learn a little more about it...if you're interested. There couldn't be a better day to get some records. Special RSD released, limited edition titles, colored vinyl and often freebies.
 Now that you have a tiny bit of info on Records Store Day ( I'll get into it more later), I present to you one of my recent RSD purchases. Bad Brains "God Of Love." Not the first title on my list of want, but it was on there. I had the CD when it was originally released 16 years ago. This reissue comes with a bonus 2 track 7" with the tracks "Let's make love" and "It's agreeable." good tunes both of them. My 7" has a mis-label. Both sides contain the Side A label. With that increase the value down the road? Doesn't matter too much to me. I like the album...it stays in my collection. "God of Love" has a pretty even mix of Hardcore and Reggae songs. For me, not a bad song on it.
Back to RSD...I'm there at the store when I asked the very helpful staff if he had the Bad Brains. He brought me the reissue of their first single which was reissued in red, gold and green...VERY limited quantities and Black...not limited. He did bring me the album I wanted. I missed out (my own fault) on the "Pay to cum" single. What could I do. I'm not a rich man, so I couldn't get everything. I was happy to find that the Bad Brains were and still are giving "Pay to cum" away free on their web site. So, i didn't completely lose out. Check the Bad Brains out here. The download is no longer free...but it's worth the couple of bucks it costs. Or, go to your local independent record store and buy the 7"...black version. Pick up some other up and coming artists and a few more Bad Brains titles. Have fun.
