The Ledge #664: Record Store Day


Listen Later

The Ledge is back! Yes, I did announce that it was unlikely that I’d have a show this week due to my recent medical procedure. But I seem to be recuperating nicely, so why not put together a show? I do chat about my experiences at the top of the program, and I do want to thank everyone that reached out to say they were thinking of me. It’s so much appreciated.

As for this week’s broadcast, it’s all about Record Store Day. Yes, I know there are a lot of people that are not fans of this event. It didn’t help that this year included a couple of mainstream titles that should have had better availability (in other words, a much higher pressing). Yes, I understand that most people don’t care about rarities such as outtakes and live recordings. I get it. If that’s your belief then stay away!

But I love everything about it. It’s the one day that this curmudgeon hangs with the crowd before the doors open. I enjoy chatting with folks about what they’re hoping to find, or what they’ve bought in the past. And yes, I do love live albums. I do love rare mixes. I love obscure, long out of print collaborations between unlikely artists. Gimme gimme gimme!

So tonight’s show celebrates this spring’s model. There are a ton of live albums. There’s the almost forgotten Hindu Love Gods, which saw Warren Zevon paired up with 3 of the 4 members of R.E.M. There’s a crazy alternative version of the first Public Image Ltd. album. The list goes on and on. Dive in tonight’s show and relive the special day.
