Early morning lines and 12-inch vinyl were the ingredients for this year's Record Store Day. Add in uncommonly cold temperatures and it gets even more interesting. Three Ann Arbor stores are participating. Underground Sounds opened their doors at 9 a.m., Wazoo Records opened at 10 a.m., and Encore at 11 a.m.
The most eager customers started lining up outside Underground Sounds around 3 a.m. and the line stretched to almost Fourth Street before opening.
Each store ordered a different amount of specialty releases. Wazoo Records owner John Kerr said he received more than 100 different titles. Often getting more than one copy of each title, he had more than 300 total pieces. They sold out of a few options before noon but expects more customers to deplete their stock today.
