Once again, Record Store Day has come and gone, and once again we stand in humbled awe. Our beloved Horizon friends and family came through bigger than ever, and in fact we had our biggest RSD yet. We’re still recovering from the weekend as a whole (we’ve still got a few limited-edition goodies left in the stacks, and we’re able to re-stock a few titles like Beach House, Dismemberment Plan and Tom Tom Club, to name a few) but we wanted to once again express our eternal gratitude and thanks for this incredible event, and for the 48 years you’ve given us in Greenville. “Thank you” is not enough, but we’re saying it anyway. Let’s do it again next year, okay?
From Mr. Gene: It is so cool to remind y’all that, typical of our stance for all these 48 years of Horizon Records and 16 years of RSD events, we feel some of the best and most important titles are found in the lesser-known artists and less traveled bi-ways of the sonic stratosphere. So check these out: Sly & Robbie vs. The Roots Radics, Shirley Scott, Heroin, Butcher Brown, many amazing compilations, Sonny Stitt and more. Happy trails, and SO MUCH GRATITUDE TO EVERYONE!
