The time is growing ever-nearer – soon Record Store Day will be upon us. Since last Ground Control updated readers on what goods would be made available on everyone's favorite holiday (well, most everyone on the Ground Control masthead, anyway), a few news releases have come down the wire outlining a few new releases but, now, Warner Brothers Records [the major label most regularly involved with the day –ed] has announced MORE releases coming from them. Without crutching too much on semantics, here's the listing of what Warner has said they'll be making available:
BILLY BRAGG & WILCO – Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions (3 CD+DVD)
FLEETWOOD MAC – Fleetwood Mac (2 LP Deluxe)
FLEETWOOD MAC – Fleetwood Mac (LP)
FLAMING LIPS – Lips And Heady Fwends (2 LP)
CURRENT SWELL – Long Time Ago (LP)
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS – Stadium Arcadium Deluxe (4 LP)
THE CURE – Entreat (2 LP)
DR. JOHN – Locked Down (LP/CD)
…This, along with our previous announcement is only the tip of the iceberg, of course. There will be dozens of new vinyl releases dotting the shelves at participating record stores this Saturday, so do yourself a favor and get to them!
