“Tusk” is really a unique proposition though. It didn’t help that the singles from “Tango In The Night” seemed to be on permanent rotation on the video jukebox (remember those?) in our local pub, The Red Lion in Sedgley.

The Alternate Tuskįleetwood Mac always had a bit of a naff reputation when I was growing up in the scorched earth policy days of the post-punk early eighties. Well firstly a version of one of the great cocaine albums of the seventies, alongside “Station to Station” and “Tonight’s The Night”. I therefore limited choices to things that I would actually listen to, a lesson learned from the collective feeding frenzy that builds up in the queue. One copy and gone by the time I got to the counter. For sentimental reaso,ns I was after a copy of Glen Campbell’s “Wichita Lineman” on red vinyl. Almost exclusively male, almost exclusively over forty and almost exclusively bearded.
I dropped by Les Aldrich just after it had opened this morning and the queue was distinctly different. The bloke this morning in front of me in the queue was buying a Deftones LP that he admitted he would never ever play. Much of what is produced for the day will never make it onto turntables. The flip side though is that it clogs up pressing plants with big label RSD releases, often at the expense at up and coming artists. Yes – it gets people back into record stores which was unthinkable in the dark days of 2007.
To rub salt into the wounds, there were already copies up on Ebay by the time she would have got home.įrom talking to a few friends in the music industry, RSD is a double-edged sword. Two hours later, the sixth girl was going home in tears as she found out that the shop only had five copies of the One Direction picture disc that they were all wanting.
The first time I had a go at it a couple of years ago, I was at our local record shop, Les Aldrich in Muswell Hill, at 7am, behind six pre-teen girls with their parents. I’m getting a little more chilled about Record Store Day (RSD).
