I did buy that Harry Nilsson Anthology CD, but the main idea of Record Store Day is to pay homage to the vinyl albums. That, and to get people into the mom and pop records stores. Places old fogies like me can go to and still feel at home. When I go into Best Buy, I don't know what a whole lot of the stuff they have is anymore, but usually have at least heard of them.
