Record Store Day Recap

Record Store Day was pretty nuts. Some surprises that I must have missed on the "Official" lists. More people were out this year in my area, which was pretty awesome for the record stores.

Anyone get anything good?

Record Store Day 2012!

Is tomorrow... and I have to admit that what is being offered here in the US is fairly underwhelming compared to recent years (particularly when you look at what the UK is getting (ya bastards). 

But there are definitely some gems being offered this year.

Check out the big list here.

Off course there plenty of records that people care about, but really... I only kind of want one release this year... The Anthology Of Dead Ends reissue from Hydra Head for Botch, only this time the record is a 180 gram 12" EP rather than the original 10" format.

In either case... happy hunting.

Record Store Day Highlight VI: Burn

Here is another hardcore gem from Revelation getting the Record Store Day treatment. 500 copies on Yellow vinyl for a record that is super influential (if you like Bane... Burn is for you then)

Check it:







Get into this record... find it... you will not be sorry.

Record Store Day Highlight V: Elliott

Though this is not my favorite Elliott record, it is third on my least of releases for the band for what to acquire (False Cathedrals and If They Do being the other two) and Revelation is finally re-issuing the LP on Gray vinyl (in an edition of 330 copies).

Here is a song off that album:




Again, this is another nice re-release that now has me crossing my fingers for a False Cathedrals re-issue. That aside, I would be looking for this in the post RSD hooplah.

Is Tomorrow...

Do you have your list in order?

I do. Hopefully, where I am going will have what I am looking for...

Record Store Day Highlight I : Neurosis

Hydra Head is finally re-releasing Sovereign from Neurosis for this year's Record Store Day. No more paying collector's prices if you jump on it when it is released. This version will be limited to 600 or so copies according to the record store day flyer.

Coliseum Odds and Ends Coming Soon

Coliseum will be having a slew of releases (well two splits) coming out shortly. The first (pictured above) is their Misfits split cover 7" with Superchunk. Coliseum is doing Bullet (download there) and Superchunk does Horror Business (though it can't match the original nor Deadguy's cover). The 7" is limited to 2000 copies on three colors variants (Yellow, Magenta, and Black).






























The second upcoming release is a split Live album with Burning Love limited to 1000 copies on vinyl (through Sound Study Recordings) and a 1000 on CD (through Tee Pee).
