Another successful Record Store Day has come and gone, and of course, Lou’s Records has come through for me, yet again! This time, my hubby and son came with me, and we all woke up early to make the trek to Encinitas to grab some #RSD2014 exclusives. If you recall, my main goal was to grab the An Ideal for Living EP re-release by Joy Division. I actually ended up getting that and so much more. But I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves. If you went to Record Store Day this year, what was your most favorite find?
There was quite the line when we arrived. I was number 99 at 9:30 am.
Doing a little record shopping while waiting for our turn. Dominic helped daddy look for something special…and it looks like he found some Depeche Mode for me!
Dominic is so very patient and can keep himself occupied in any situation, as long as he has my iPhone.
Ready to get home with my treasures!
#RSD2014 finds: An Ideal for Living EP re-release by Joy Division; Indie Candy by the Pixies; Ready Boy & Girls? by Tears For Fears (it’s a white vinyl 10 inch).
Awesome #RSD2014 freebies that came with every purchase, and I had two bags worth! The Beatles bag was on the counter, and were free upon request (I got two and gave the other to my niece).
An exclusive #RSD2014 shirt made by the folks at Lou’s Records. LOVE IT!
“Vintage” finds: Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls/Tubular Bells by Book of Love promotional 12 inch; 2×4 by Guadalcanal Diary; 1987 Tour promo of New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen & Gene Loves Jezebel 9 inch flexi-disc (the Lou’s folks said they had two on hand for a long time, and they both sold on RSD); Happy Families by Blancmange; U.K. Squeeze promotional copy; Queen compilation CD; Turn Back The Clock 80’s compilation CD for Pottery Barn (close up below because it’s a great CD).
Wow! It looks like they go all out for RSD! Maybe I’ll have to make the journey to Encinitas next year to do RSD there. 🙂
Yes!!!! Lou’s Records always comes through for me. This was my third one with them, and I got what I wanted each time!

I have a special love affair with Lou’s. Well honestly with that whole complex. I’ve spent an obscene amount of hours combing through albums there. An original press of the Woodstock album was my most precious find to date! An ideal Saturday afternoon begins at Pannikin for a croissant and tea, travels down the road to Ducky Waddles (awesome book and art selection) and closes at Lou’s.
Awesome Kim! I have yet to check out everything around Lou’s, but I will!
