Neil Young Vinyl Shopping - April 16, 2011

Neil Young showed his support of Vinyl & Independent Record Stores back in 2011, on International Record Day.

Young was in town for a concert at the Landmark Theater when his crew decided to do some vinyl shopping. Emaleigh Franzak, Asst. Manager of Plan9 Music, Richmond, Virginia wrote us to say:
I took the photo posted on the Plan 9 Facebook page. It was a really fun day, and that was an excellent surprise.

The best/worst part was that we were actually playing "Le Noise" when he walked in the door. I just about melted for a few seconds.

There was nothing we could do but keep listening, of course! He shopped for a bit...was very reserved, but polite and friendly!

Neil bought Its a Beautiful Day record. (Incidentally, this is a very classic album and if you read the linked review it'll make you want to dig out your copy... or find a used copy.)

Very nice!
There was been a rather huge reaction in the Vinyl & Independent Record Stores community around the world. The Record Store Day Facebook page has 100's of Likes and Comments on the sighting.

    Neil reportedly was at Jack White's Third Man Records in Nashville this year and cut a disc in the Record Booth.

    Yeah, vinyl rules! :)Americana and Psychedelic Pill are two of the best sounding LPs I own. Thanks Thrasher! Hope all is well my friend. Cheers!
