Owners Jim McGuinn and Pat Mcilvaine are at the ready to assist with any audio-visual needs.

WALLA WALLA-Record Store Day (RSD) comes around just once a year. This past Saturday, August 29, Hot Poop celebrated the thirteenth annual event with a somewhat demure version of its usual festivities.

Record store day is all about getting music lovers inside brick and mortar record stores, connecting listeners with the establishments that keep music and musicians alive. To participate, store owners sign contracts attesting that they will not sell any of the select RSD merchandise online for at least three years.

Even without live performances and spaced six feet apart, audiophiles were able to find limited editions, re-releases of classics, and special pressings by artists new and old.

Though there were never more than 12 people in the shop at once, the day was highly successful. "We broke a record, no pun intended," the store reported.

Three separate release dates are anticipated for the 2020 RSD season. The next will be September 26, with all new music from Camille Yarbrough, the Yardbirds. We can also expect an alternate version of Fleetwood Mac's Rumors and re-releases from artists like Britney Spears, Coolio, and Hootie & the Blowfish.

The third RSD Drop date will be October 24, so there's plenty to look forward to.

Hot Poop is Walla Walla's only bing bang stereo shop. Find everything from musical instruments to televisions, as well as new and used CDs, tapes and vinyl. Learn more at http://www.hotpoop.com.
