Što nas ove godine čeka u nezavisnim glazbenim dućanima za Record Store Day koji se održava 18. travnja? Pa, zapravo ništa posebno novo.
Na novim izdanjima (koncerti, obljetničarski paketi, neobjavljene snimke) opet će najviše biti zastupljeni stanovnici konzervativnog rock kanona.
Recimo, Def Leppard izbacuju Rock N Roll Hall of Fame LP, snimku koncerta odsviranog povodom ulaska u rokersku Kuću slavnih. Pink Floyd pak u optjecaj puštaju snimku Arnold Layne Live 2007 — riječ je o vjerojatni najpoznatijoj skladbi Syda Barreta, a ova je verzija zabilježena na tribute koncertu za Barreta na kojemu su posljednji put zajedno nastupili David Gilmour, Nick Mason i Richard Wright.
