Listening: Record Store Day April 20, 2024

The Spring, 2024 edition of Record Store Day is soon upon us...the day we are forced to visit our local independent record store and sift through the great new special edition releases while taking in the vinyl and CD retail culture. Great times! https://recordstoreday.com/Home

Some of the titles on my long list- 

Kelly Watch The Stars by Air

Chet Baker and Jack Sheldon make sweet vibes on Imperfect Harmony

Count 'em...Five 3" releases by The Beatles, two from George Harrison, one from John Lennon and even a new EP from Ringo Starr entitles "Crooked Boy"

Bill Evans may have the best album title of all...Everyone Digs Bill Evans.

A 50th Anniversary Edition of Elton John's Caribou on double vinyl. 

Another 50th Anniversary set, this one is Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds members.

The Birds, The Bees and The Monkees (and the second place album title!) by The Monkees (thank you to Friday Music!)

The Rolling Stones (UK) on ABKCO.

Pharoah Sanders, Harvest Time on Luaka Bop Records.

There is a long list of releases for this Record Store Day and you can see them all on the Record Store Day website. Some releases are regional, some very local and some are national. Below is the complete RSD listing but check with your local independent record store to be sure the titles that you are interested in will be carried locally. Good Times!
