What a glorious Record Store Day 2023. I didn't get all of the records that made it my wish list, but I did get most of em.
Missing from every store i hit was the new Pearl Jam Give Way. It's already selling on ebay for $70.
I did fork out the big bucks for the Van Halen Live Box Set. Pricey at over $100, I can honestly say its worth the money to any Van Halen fan.
The recording itself is surprising clean with a nice separation of instrumentation rarely found in live albums.
I need to hunt down the Perl Jam and the live Dio. Although I found out the Dio unwisely decided to split Heaven and Hell over two album sides, which just makes it unlistenable in my opinion.
You'll hear my new vinyl scores from Record Store all year long on Capone's Vinyl Vault.
Sunday nights at 7PM CST here on Rock 95.5 Chicago.
