Tomorrow is Record Store Day. It’s been going strong every year since 2007 as a means of giving the record store industry a much deserved boost. Record Store Day should serve as a reminder of the wonderful resources offered by record stores every day of the year. The rare album exclusives sweeten the deal. I'll be out and about in search of Citizen Dick:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwu-kGXpm3s
