What is Record Store Day (RSD)? To the average record collector, I guess RSD is like the January Sales. If those sales were held in April (usually) or like recently in June and July.

Hello from team Beansies How was your summer, did you recover from any festivals that you might have muddily or otherwise attended? Between us we got to Download, Glastonbury, Bearded Theory and younger members of the team headed to Leeds. We love this time of year as after a little hiatus of the new album releases, they start to ramp again. This means we get to see some bands up close and personal in the way of in-store events. October is a big month for us, with Andrew Cushin, Vistas, The Heavy North and Apollo Junction all swinging by the...
