<div class="entry-content" readability="58"><img src="http://www.tonepublications.com/media/RSD-2.jpg" alt="How about Record Store Month?" class="thumbnail large post-image" /><p>Seriously, how about it?</p>
<p>With so many vinyl enthusiasts, new and old excited about this event, Record Store Day is growing to the point where it’s becoming more exclusive than inclusive. *Here in Portland, Oregon, my favorite record store owner, Terry Currier, of Music Millennium told me that “the line around the building started at 10 <em>last night</em>.”</p>
<p>A few other stores I know echoed the same sentiment, receiving so many titles that they got two or three copies of that could have easily sold a 100 copies, possibly more. Another store owner, preferring to remain anonymous, was a bit more bleak. “The limited edition model worked better when people weren’t aware of vinyl – it helped to build enthusiasm. *Now that the demand is there, customers go away from the store crabby when they can’t get the RSD goodies.”</p>
<p>So how about it Record Companies? *While you might lose a buck or two, making a few less RSD collectibles, you’d make a lot more money and achieve a lot more good will if those of us that actually listen to the records we purchase could get our hands on it. *Maybe compromise with Record Store Week? It appears the demand is there.</p>
