Record Store 2014: An Ode To Waiting
18 April 2014, 16:03
We know what it’s like. We’ve been in that Rough Trade East queue from 4:30am before. The anticipation. The cold. The camaraderie. But also, the waiting. So much waiting around for the store to open so you can get your hands on those beautiful 12″ limited editions or those 7″ box sets. So, in honour of the brave souls who will be queueing outside stores up and down the country we’ve maid a little playlist.
