Why Renee Raven is Excited for Record Store Day (Again) at Ralph’s Records, Lubbock’s Only Indie Record Store

Record Store Day Phase 2 is coming up Saturday, September 26th, and the best place to celebrate the holiday (again) is at Lubbock's only independent record store, Ralph's Records (82nd & Indiana).

RSD II has new vinyl drops featuring exclusives, limited editions, and first runs.

You can view the entire drop list for RSD II, but remember that some titles are regional and might not appear at Ralph's. And if you really want something, I recommend getting there first thing in the morning and trying your luck. The hunt is part of the fun.

Some titles I'm excited about that y'all might be interested in as well:

• The Boys Next Door, Door Door
• Fleetwood Mac, The Alternate Rumours (shut up, I'm a goth girl and we are required by law to love Stevie Nicks)
• Screamin' Jay Hawkins, ... What That Is! 
• Meat Puppets, (Eponymous)  
• Mott the Hoople, The Golden Age of Rock
• Ol' Dirty Bastard, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version (25th Anniversary Edition)
• The Ramones, It's Alive 2
• Hackers Motion Picture Soundtrack 
• Mike Watt & The Secondmen, The Quintessence 

Additionally, Ralph's will have huge sales for Record Store Day II, including $2 off new and used vinyl, and $2 new CDs. They've also restocked posters, tapestries and many other treasures.

Support your only local independent record store, because Ralph's Records has been here for you for the last 40 years, and I'm sure for the next 40 years as well.
