The second annual Record Store Day is gearing up to take place this year on April 19th, and is looking to be bigger and better than last year, flailing economy be damned.
Like last year one can expect a plethora of cool, limited edition vinyl records to surface for this day in honor of the mom and pop record shops around the country. This week Matador unveiled the first glimpse of what it has in store this year.
In honor the 2nd annual Record Store Day, we’ll be releasing the following limited edition vinyl titles, only available at independent retailers taking part in RSD.OLE-864-7 Jay Reatard “Hang Them All” 7" b/w Sonic Youth - “No Garage”
OLE-865-7 Sonic Youth - “Pay No Mind” (Beck cover) b/w Beck - “Green Light” (Sonic Youth cover) 7?
OLE-855-1 Pavement Live In Germany LP
We’re making 2500 each of the above. After they’re gone, as the Bard Of Hookset, NH [G.G. Allin] might’ve said (if he collected records), tough fuckin’ shit.
Apparently Matador didn't get enough hate mail from all of the disgruntled record buyers who were cut out of the ridiculously limited Jay Reatard 7-inches with which the label taunted the world earlier this year. Granted there are 2500 of each of these records, so your odds are a little better this time around, but the hype machine is already churning.
