Call Hallmark cuz I have never heard of this until today. I think the record business is in big trouble.
Announcing
RECORD STORE DAY
This year, Record Store Day takes place April 17. The holiday was founded in 2007 and launched the following year. The annual event now takes place the third Saturday of April.
Im taking this fro Pollstar.com, cuz my jaw dropped when I read it and Ive yet to recover:
“Fans looking to get their hands on a physical copy of the new tunes Billy Corgan and co. have been posting online will have the chance to preorder the Smashing Pumpkins’ new, limited edition EP, Teargarden by Kaleidyscope Vol.1: Songs For A Sailor, on April 17. Customers that pre-order the EP will receive a collector’s edition Smashing Pumpkins black light poster, while supplies last. The pre-order is exclusive to independent record stores.The collectors EP will be packaged in a collector’s silk-screened wooden box and include a 4-song CD, a vinyl 7” and a hand-carved obelisk. The package is set for release May 25.“I used to work in an indie record shop so I’ll always have a soft spot for the places where I still go to find the most vital music, whether new or still hidden,” Corgan said” I personally wish Corgan was in a silk screened wooden box.
wow..
Well special offer cd’s are being offered from bands such as Infected Mushrooms, Paolo Nutini, and EMI Music is offering limited edition John Lennon and Sex Pistols vinyl packages.
