Record Store Day 2015

Record Store Day 2015 was a success.

I spent the holiday (Saturday, 4/18/15) at one of the best local shops, The Bop Shop, located at 1460 Monroe Ave. in Rochester, NY.

The shop had a plethora of events happening all day. They recently acquired the record collection of the late Doug Meech, original drummer for Rochester’s garage rocking legends Chesterfield Kings. The band formed in 1979 and continued for four decades with their 1960s, Stones-influenced sound. In honor of RSD15, the shop was offering the opportunity to purchase from this expertly curated collection of over 3,500 LPs in excellent condition. The collection was full of out-of-print collectors’ items.

Record buyers peruse the rows in the collection of the late Doug Meech in The Bop Shop.

They also had free coffee tasting from Rochester’s Fuego Coffee Roasters and afternoon beer tastings from Three Heads Brewing and Brewery Ommegang. 

Live music included locals Pleistocene, Howlo, Sam Snyder, The Years, and the Wayouts.

Howlo playing live. Full song video below:

We spent way too much money on records. Here are a couple of scores:
