Top 5 Requested Record Store Day Releases
We’re just one month away from our biggest party of the year – Record Store Day! It’s an international day to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store and this year, the official ambassador, Run the Jewels, is helping us celebrate!
I’ve asked what everyone is looking to get on April 21st and the answers range from The Beau Brummels to Soundgarden. But out of all the phone calls, emails and Facebook messages we’re receiving, these are our top 5 requested Record Store Day releases:
AC/DC – Back in Black – When this album was released in 1980, many of us listened to it on cassette. Now you can hear it the same way – perfect for your boom box or car tape deck.
Steve Earle & the Dukes – Live From the Continental Club – If you’ve ever seen these guys live, then you know this will be a stupendous album to add to your collection! The double LP is limited to 2000 copies and features “Guitar Town”, “Copperhead Road” and more.
Grateful Dead – Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA 2/27/69 – Originally released as part of the limited- edition CD boxed, Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings, the Grateful Dead’s Fillmore West, San Francisco 2/27/69 show will be issued on vinyl for the first time exclusively for Record Store Day 2018. The limited -edition 4-LP is on 180 gram vinyl, has an 8th side etching and a worldwide run of 9000. If you don’t already have the box set, this is one to get.
Led Zeppelin – “Friends”/”Rock And Roll” – Zep is one of my all-time favorite bands and apparently yours too! I’ve been getting many requests for the band’s first Record Store Day title featuring two previously unreleased tracks, both produced by Jimmy Page. This unique single includes a Sunset Sound Mix of Led Zeppelin IV’s “Rock And Roll” and “Friends” from Zeppelin III recorded at Olympic Studios, London. This limited edition yellow 7” single features a large hole and shaped adaptor and is housed in a printed paperboard sleeve.
Pink Floyd – Piper at the Gates of Dawn (mono) – The original mono version was named one of Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time so of course a lot of our customers want this one! This psychedelic debut was their only album completed with original vocalist/guitarist Syd Barrett and features the early classic “Interstellar Overdrive”.
In addition to these Record Store Day Exclusive releases, we hope to have hundreds of other titles, some of the Limited Run Regional Releases and RSD “First” Releases.
Check out our Facebook page to get the latest news on our April 21st Record Store Day event.
It’s a fun day so we hope to see you!
A Lucky Little Lady in the City of Brotherly Love
I don’t know how I missed the news about Robby Krieger playing Ardmore Music Hall on April 23rd but when I heard that he was doing a show for the Doors’ 50th anniversary, I knew that I had to try and get tickets. I went online, and naturally, it was sold out. Disappointed, I thought I’d try my luck at the door the night of the show. Arriving before doors opened, I bypassed the line to ask security if they released any last minute tickets. They hadn’t but the guard kindly pointed us in the direction of someone who was selling two tickets. Jackpot! Gregg and I were able to take the tickets off his hands.
The tickets were general admission so we proceeded to the floor area, parking ourselves about 10 feet from the stage. Robby and his band, which included his son Waylon on vocals, opened the show with “Break On Through” and proceeded to play a great number of songs off of The Doors’ first album plus not often heard titles like “Spanish Caravan.” They concluded, not surprisingly, with “The End.”
Robby seemed to be in good spirits; he told stories about some of the songs that he wrote including “Light My Fire” and “Twentieth Century Fox”, which he wrote for his wife (they’re married for 45 years now), he talked about Jim and Ray’s favorite songs, and even joked with the crowd after being booed for wearing a Joe Namath jersey, saying, “At least it’s the right color.” The over two hour show was the last one of the tour so I was thrilled that I was able to see him play live. Absorbing the essence of The Doors, I felt wonderfully connected to the songs and the original band members.
My amazing night got even better after the show when Robby autographed my newly acquired Doors’ Record Store Day album. I now have a beautiful new treasure in my rock and roll collection!
