Record Store Day is upon us!

So it's that time again. Get up early, get to your favourite record store and get hold of some fantastic releases! The are LOADS of special releases to celebrate the day that you can get your hands on.

I will be heading down to my favourite, which is back home in Brighton. Resident, which last week was voted 'England's favourite independant record store!

A few of the highlights from the 250+ exclusive RSD releases for us include Radiohead, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, The Beach Boys, Bat For Lashes / Beck, Grinderman, Josh T Pearson, The Clash, Flaming Lips, Fleet Foxes, Foo Fighters, Flying Lotus, Charlotte Gainsbourg & Villagers, Metronomy, Moon Duo, Natural Snow Buildings, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & Suede. There are loads more releases this year but they are being pressed in very limited quantities.

“I just really love anything that’s not faceless and where people know each other and work together to build, like, a community. People that work there know their stuff; they’re not coming in today to sell music and tomorrow to sell TVs and the next day to sell whatever. Somebody can come in and say, “I want somebody who plays piano music” or something, and somebody will actually tell them to listen to my record and they’ll play it in the store for them and they’ll talk about it. You can connect in some way with somebody who’s doing something that they love. And that it’s important to have something that is being done just out of true love for new music that is being welcomed into the world. People should go to their indie record store and find out what is happening.”
