FLOOD Magazine – FLOOD’s Guide to Record Store Day 2022 Part 1 – Albert Ayler Revelations

The world as a whole may be experiencing a return to pandemic infection’s highs, but as far as big spending shoppers go, for April 23’s Record Store Day—the annual celebration of independent record stores, vinyl releases, and the collectors who love their vinyl, cassette, and CD rarities—they won’t have to face smaller, monthly RSDDs (those would be the more manageable “RSD Drops” that come with fewer releases and lesser crowds).
