Eroding Winds Record Store Day 2023 Protocol!
- Yes, we have RSD exclusive releases! We got over 1000 LPs. A lot of stuff got allocated so we got fewer than we ordered on many things, but we did get all of our Swift LPs (100 copies) and none of our Macho Man LPs (even though we ordered 30). We won't be posting a list online or confirming anything else beyond that.
- We are opening at our normal time, 11am.
We're all excited for RSD but we hate getting out of bed early and we're having a sick show at our Oshkosh location on Friday night, Hell (Portland, OR DOOM) and Choke Green Bay, WI Death Metal) so we wanna be able to hang a bit Friday night! That show starts at 7:30 pm, so if you're into doom or death metal come through. It's $15 at the door with all the money going to the bands. Hell is on tour from the other side of the country.
- At 10am we will bring out a checklist to all those waiting in line at each store. This list includes everything we received. We will mark your name and place in line on these lists and give you 20 minutes to select the titles you're looking for. At that time we will come collect the lists and prepare everyone's requested titles prior to opening (in order of your place in line). We will hold those at the front counter while you look around the shop or have them ready for you to check out when we open at 11am.
- Each store is putting out roughly 700 fresh used LPs. This is the real meat and potatoes of RSD right here, in our eyes. We've been scouring, wheeling, and dealing for lots of goodies. Shop staff have been busting their asses getting everything cleaned, graded, and priced, and it's now ready for y'all to flip through on Saturday. Each store will have a couple hundred records up front in the normal new arrival section, a couple hundred records at a SECOND section of used new arrivals somewhere in the back of the shop, and a couple hundred records mixed right in to their genre sections. We're hoping this will help alleviate some of the front of store clog that normally happens around RSD and will also give folks further back in line a chance to find something juicy.
- We aren't having any sales or discounts. But we're putting out over 2500 records between the RSD exclusive and our fresh used LPs. So you're going to have a wealth of awesome rare LPs to dig through.\
- The fine folks at Summerfest sent us a big batch of free tickets that we will be handing out to the first customers at each store!
That should just about do it! We're stoked to see everyone on the busiest day of the year. Talk to you soon!
