    Glad they are RSD ambassadors and not vinyl ambassadors after the fanclub single issues. 
    So we've just gonna overlook them doing vinyl since 1991 and continuing to do it when it was at its lowest demand?

    They are damned if they do, damned if they don't.

    Not overlooking that at all, but RSD is about supporting independent record stores which I think is a good fit for pj regardless of the format. It would have been ironic if they had been vinyl ambassadors, the same year they called time on the vinyl single. As it is, unlike others I don't think this announcement is ironic.

    RSD is fun. It easy to get cynical about it, but theres nothing awesomer than coming home with a stack of new records with music from bands you love. Even if its a live record, or best of, or some reissue on colored wax. Its new records and its supporting small businesses. Its just fun. 

    I really enjoy RSD...
    we have a bunch of record shops that are all pretty close together,
    so it's easy to hit up multiple stores!
    Seems like I'm always bumping into other PJ fans too..
    plus it's good practice for the merch lines!! :rock_on:
    Dave you are our hope. The RSD Man!  ;)
    Hope is a GOOD thing...
    we never gave up,
    even with  the 6 month shipping issues!! :wink:
    The DerbyDave optimism! :hug:

    Love record store day. Actually ran into Mike when he was at a local store in Greenville in 2016.

    Anyone else really irked how lazy the top sign text is..?  Looks like an indie band logo.

    They took the time to get the perspective right on the bottom, but the name looks like it was thrown in via MSPaint. 

    30 seconds on my phone to make it look 100x better.  Sheesh.


    You're reading the image and sign wrong. It's not lazy and your version is wrong. Sheesh:
