**Record Store Day** is here, and we’re presenting this comprehensive guide with
recommended limited edition vinyls, including singles, split singles, compilations,
reissues, covers, EPs, unreleased tracks, and much more. So, far, we’ve posted a
massive volume one of IRC’s **top RSD releases**, followed by volume two, featuring**
recommended vinyl cover songs** being released as singles, EPs and LPs on RSD only.
You might also want to check out the** video review** of RSD releases from Chris
Brown. And, at last, volume three here within.

According to the U.K. _Telegraph_, there are approximately 1,000 [participating stores](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/Venues1)
on four continents. **Spencer Hickman**, the founder of **Rough Trade Records**,
and organizer of the U.K. RSD recognition, believes that the future for independent
record stores is looking better.

“There’s lot of love out there for the old independent record shop,” he told the
_Telegraph_. “People are waking up to the fact that all towns across the country
are becoming identikit, and the small indie retailers are disappearing. They don’t
want this anymore and are finally saying ‘No, enough is enough’.”

With the resurgence in the popularity of vinyl over the years, and events like Record
Store Day, there are glimmers of hope for indie record stores, not just in the U.
K., but also in the U.S. and Canada. There seems to be a growing number of young
people realizing that the sound quality of vinyl and CDs can simply not be achieved
digitally, even with 320 kps-ripped MP3s; not even FLAC files. Plus, the physical
copy of music in vinyl – with it’s large cover artwork, track listing, notes and
whatever else bands and labels add on – cannot be replicated digitally, as hard 
as it’s been tried.

Because of the number of releases on RSD, it’s impossible to cover everything we’d
like to, but we’ve managed to write something about most of them. So, let’s get 
into it. But first, you may wish to check out volume one, which full of lots of 
interesting releases and rare songs.

#### RSD 2011 Singles Vinyl Releases

There are all kinds of goodies in the vinyl singles set for limited edition release
on Saturday. Together with covers and split singles, the group easily makes up the
largest collection of vinyl releases on RSD since it’s beginnings in 2008.

**Radiohead **will drop “Supercollider” and “The Butcher” on a seven-inch vinyl 
single with only 2,000 copies for the 1,000 stores on four continents participating
in RSD. Both tracks are **previously unreleased**, which obviously generates a lot
of anticipation among RH fans. Even though these tracks have been performed at Radiohead
shows, thisis the first time we’ll hear the studio takes. Based on this live version
of “Supercollider” in Amsterdam, the song sounds great; can’t wait to her the studio
version. No word on if the two tracks will be released beyond the 2,000 copies. 
It would only make sense to, at least for download on Radiohead.com (which has recently
had a site redesign).

[“Supercollider” ](http://radioheadforfree.free.fr/amsterdam2008/23 - Super Collider.mp3)(
Live in Amsterdam, 2008) – **Radiohead**

**The Kills** will release a special dub version of of “Satellite” on a 10-inch 
vinyl, featuring a B-side a mix by **Mad Professor**. The track is from the band’s
new album, _Blood Pressures_.

**Fleet Foxes** will release a vinyl single with “Helplessness Blues,” the title
track of their forthcoming album.

**Blitzen Trapper** will release 1,000 copies of a vinyl double single featuring
the tracks “Maybe Baby” and “I Don’t Know What.” **Subpop** is also releasing a 
vinyl sampler called _Please to Enjoy_, which includes the Blitzen Trapper track,“
Maybe Baby.”

The sampler features an awesome collection of songs from Subpop artists, including
Fleet Foxes, Lower Dens, Mogwai, J.Mascis, Papercuts and Low. Stream _Please to 
Enjoy_.

**Jamie Woon** offers fans a version of his single “Lady Luck” as a limited edition
500 copies seven-inch vinyl.

**Cults** drop seven-inch featuring “Abducted” and a RSD-only remix version of “

“Pumped Up Kicks” –** Foster The People**

**Death Cab For Cutie** are releasing a seven-inch vinyl called Death Cab For Cutie
in Living Stereo with samples of the upcoming release _Codes and Keys_.

While the long-awaited release of **Danger Mouse**‘s special project of paying homage
to Italian film scores, _Rome,_ will be released next month, a few thousand lucky
fans will have the chance to grab a seven-inch vinyl copy featuring two advance 
tracks from the album – one “Two Against One,” with **Jack White** on vocals, and**
Norah Jones** performance of the track “Black.” Together with composer **Danielle
Luppi**, Danger Mouse’s realization of his dream is coming to fruition on May 17th,
the official release date of _Rome_.

**My Chemical Romance** will release the track “Na Na Na” with an unreleased b-side
called “Zero Percent” on a seven-inch picture vinyl disc.

The new supergroup, **Wild Flag**, consisting of **Carrie Brownstein** (Sleater-
Kinney), **Mary Timony **(Helium), **Rebecca Cole** (The Minders), and **Janet Weiss**,
are said to begin recording soon their debut album for release later in 2011. But
on RSD, the band will give the world it’s first listen to their sound with Wild 
Flag’s first official single, “Future Crimes,” with the B-side “Glass Tambourine,”
on seven-inch vinyl and a free download code.

**Queen **(yup, the remaining members are still going) will release a limited seven-
inch of “Stormtroopers in Stilettos,” which includes a remastered version of “Stone
Cold Crazy” and a never before released version of ‘Keep Yourself Alive’ recorded
in 1975.

#### RSD Previously Unreleased Vinyls

**R.E.M.** will release a special RSD-only vinyl set titled _Three_, featuring three
seven-inch records with the first three singles from their latest (and one of their
best) album, _Collapse Into Now_. But the reason we included this in the unreleased
section is the more exciting news that R.E.M. are releasing three previously unreleased
songs as B-sides.

It’s amazing after all of these years that** 13th Floor Elevators**, pioneers of
psychedelic rock, are having possibly a bigger influence on music now than they 
did when they were together 40 years ago. On Saturday, they’ve release “Wait for
My Love,” a never released song, on green seven-inch vinyl.

**The Rolling Stones** will release the almost previously unreleased cover of **
Chuck Berry**‘s “Let It Rock” (see above for more details and sample from a Live**
Leeds** show in 70s). The song definitely sounds similar to the classic “Johnny 
B. Good.”

“Let It Rock” (Chuck Berry) – **The Rolling Stones** from a live in Leeds U.K. recording(
circa 1971)

![clapton](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/eric-clapton-530-85.jpg "
clapton")

Eric Clapton played in a numer of influential classic rock bands.

For a brief time in the history of classic rock, **Derek and The Dominos** were 
one of the top guitar rock bands of the late 60’s and early 70’s, largely thanks
to the smooth, but riveting, guitar work of the legendary **Eric Clapton** (who 
was also in the **Yardbirds** and **Blind Faith**, also amazing bands).

Decades later, Clapton and the Dominos are releasing a double vinyl for RSD – “Got
To Get Better In A Little While” and “Layla.”

While Clapton only recorded one album with the Dominos, it’s had a long-lasting 
effect, especially due to the huge hit single, “Layla” that often pops up on Top
100, 200, 500 rock song of all time listings. The exciting news for Clapton fans
is that the B-side, “Got To Get Better In A Little While,” never before released,
was recently discovered from a long-lost master Dominos recording session tape for
a follow-up album that never happened. Original Dominos member Bobby Whitlock added
the vocals, but Slow Hand is at the gears. The 7” vinyl is limited to 2,500 copies
in the U.S., and likely to be a collector’s item.

“Layla” – **Derek and The Dominos**** **

#### RSD Single, EP and LP Reissues

**Deerhoof** will release a limited 1,000 copies of 2007’s _Friend Opportunity_.
It’s been out of print on vinyl for years, but on Saturday, some 1,000 lucky folks
will get the exclusive translucent green 180-gram vinyl RSD release. The vinyl also
includes a track not previously on the original release, titled “Makko Shobu,” as
well as a new mix for “Matchbook Seeks Maniac.”

_NME_ called the album “unfathomable brilliance from start to finish,” and _The 
New York Times_ tagged _Friend Opportunity_ as “** **Miraculous…A defining statement…
Deerhoof is one of the most original rock bands to have come along in the last decade.”

[“Plus 81”](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/deerhoof_plus81.mp3) – **
Deerhoof** from _Friend Opportunity_ (2007)

**Ryan Adams** will drop 2,500 vinyl copies of a new EP called _Class Mythology_,
will be available April 16th. The release will consist of a double seven-inch with
Cardinology-era “unreleased outtakes”. _Wax Poetic_ reported that the EP will come
with a sticker and poster.

Fans of **The Clash**: Check this out: _The Magnificent Seven_ re-issue comes out
on RSD on seven-inch, heavyweight red vinyl, and includes a bonus 4-track CD.

**Panda Bear**, like Foo Fighters, continues his big week of releases with a 12 
clear vinyl of _Tomboy _and an exclusive T-shirt.

![](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/beachboys.jpg)

**The Beach Boys** will release 2,000 78 RPM double disc vinyl sets featuring original
and alternative take versions of the songs “Good Vibrations” and “Heroes and Villains”

“Good Vibrations” – **The Beach Boys**

**Primal Scream** are releasing a triple vinyl set with two red vinyls including
a re-issue of the _The Dixie Narco_ EP, which hasn’t been available for two decades
on vinyl. The RSD release will include a 16-page, 12-inch booklet with rare photos,
interviews and liner notes.

One of the greatest influential pop-rock bands of the 1970s, who inspired bands 
like **R.E.M.** and **The Talking Heads**, **Alex Chilton** and **Big Star** will
re-issue their last album, _Third_, on 180 gram 12-inch vinyl. The album was released
shortly before the band broke up in 1974. Most interesting to fans might be the 
fact that the reissue was recorded off the original studio master tapes.

The reissue of _Third_ will also include new artwork comprised of notes and the 
like. Plus, one of every 300 pressing will include the authentic test tapes, signed
by the band’s only surviving member, Jody Stephens. Sadly, the band’s frontman Alex
Chilton died a few days before a Big Star reunion was to take place at **Austin**‘
s 2010 **South By Southwest** festival.

**The Rolling Stones** will issue 5,000 seven-inch vinyls of “Brown Sugar” that 
includes a rare B-side of Chuck Berry’s “Let It Rock,” which was only released once
on an out-of-print compilation. On Tuesday, the Stones will release of their The
Complete Singles (1971-2006) box-set.

“Let It Rock” (Chuck Berry) – **The Rolling Stones**

**The Black Angels** will release a limited edition red vinyl album – with download
card – featuring the band’s first two EPs.

Among the 2,000 copies, 100 inserts signed by the band will be randomly packed through
the pressing. This marks the first time the band’s two EPs have been collected together
on one vinyl.

The special release will also include original artwork from guitarist** Christian
Bland**. The disc will include previously unreleased tracks, including “Winter ’
68” and a cover of **Black Mountain**‘s “No Satisfaction” (not the same as the Stones’
classic “Satisfaction”).

“Winter ’68” – **The Black Angels**

**Daft Punk **will issue a four song clear 10-inch vinyl that will feature three
songs from the soundtrack of last year’s _Tron Legacy_. It also includes the rare
single, “Castor.” What’s especially interesting is the fact that the clear vinyl
discs will be available in various colors that will match the colors of the “identity
discs” fashioned by the film’s main characters. We weren’t able to find out how 
many copies would be made for RSD.

“Castor” – **Daft Punk** from _Tron Legacy_ (2010)

The **New York City** Rastafarian hardcore punk band, **Bad Brains**, will re-issue
their 1980 debut, minute-and-half track, “Pay to Cum” on seven inch vinyl. Unlike
the original, it will also contain a B-side of “Stay Close to Me.” The original 
release of “Pay To Cum” is on _SPIN_‘s ’20 Greatest Punk Songs Ever.

“Pay To Cum” – **Bad Brains**

#### Record Store Day Split Singles on Vinyl

**Bear In Heaven** & **Lindstrøm** are releasing a split 12-inch for Record Store
Day. It includes a remix by Lindstrøm of **Bear In Heaven**’s “Lovesick Teenagers”
and Bear In Heaven’s cover of Lindstrøm & Christabelle’s “Lovesick.”

“Lovesick Teenagers” – **Bear In Heaven**

**Bibio** and **Clark **(sounds like a law firm) will kick out a split 12-inch vinyl
wrapped in “classic ‘Warp’ purple sleeve”

** Jenny & Johnny, Gram Parsons** and** Emmylou Harris** will release a split seven-
inch

Altogether, **Polyvinyl Records** will drop 11 7-inch and 12-inch releases on Record
Store Day – the largest single day set of single releases in the 15-year-old **Champaigne**,
Illinois’ label’s history. One of our most anticipated is the **Deerhoof/Xiu Xiu**
split 7-inch, featuring Jamie Stewart singing to Deerhoof’s “Almost Everyone, Almost
Always,” and Deerhoof drummer Greg Saunier singing the Xiu Xiu track, “Dear God,
I Hate Myself.”

have free ones available as well, usually in the form of compact disc samplers, 
and usually from record labels.

1991 compilation featuring Nirvana, The Melvins and Bikini Kill, among others.

#### Locate Participating RSD Stores Near You

Find a [record store in your area](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/Venues2).
Some stores don’t participate in **Record Store Day**, so make sure to check first.
You also want to get to your record store early on April 16th to make sure you get
the vinyls you want. We don’t however recommend buying more than one copy just because
they are so limited and it’s just right to give as many other people as possible
the chance the own the same exclusive record you want. It’s the right thing to do.

We love the fact that indie record stores are hanging on, and even showing signs
of expanding – individual shops, not outlets. The American landscape is already 
scared by chains and outlets and strip malls (just ask Arcade Fire), so the more
individual businesses there are, the better for us all. We think the backlash against
the mallification of America over the past 30 years is growing, especially among
young people. That’s a good sign for independent record stores, and for the future
in general. Community power!

#### Bull Moose Record Store Owner Chris Brown Reviews Nearly 100 RSD Releases

After producing a popular YouTube video last year highlighting top RSD releases,
the owner of the Maine based Bull Moose record stores, Chris Brown, has made another
nearly 15-minute video review of 2011’s Record Store Day releases. Plus, if you’re
not in the Portland, Maine area, you can also stream online Brown’s appearance on
local radio station WCLZ in which he’ll play exclusive RSD releases, including some
of the live tracks from **The Decemberists** special live show at Bull Moose in 
January. Brown will appear on the morning show with **Lara Seaver**.

#### Recommended RSD Movie: I Need That Record!

In 2008, **Brendon Toller**‘s fantastic documentary titled_ I Need That Record_,
won a number of independent film awards. It’s really a spectacular documentary that,
in part, pays homage to the independent record store. You can watch part one of 
the documentary below, and check out the [INeedThatRecord](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/ineedthatrecord)
YouTube page, where you can watch it in parts, or watch it in its entirety for $
1.99 via YouTube Rentals. More preferable, the film is also available via Netflix
on DVD or Instant Watch. Either way, if you’re a hard-core music fan or vinyl collector,
or just someone interested in an well-made, in-depth documentary about the record
industry, record stores, the MP3, and much more.

#### RSD 2011 In-Store Appearances

The ultimate psychedelic indie rock band, **The Black Angels**, will perform an 
already sold out in-store performance at **Culture Clash Records** in **Toledo**,
Ohio.

**My Chemical Romance **will appear at **Vertigo Music** in** Grand Rapids**, Michigan
for a record signing. No confirmation that they won’t perform at least one song;
if they did, it would be a surprise for the MCR fans that we know will show up.

At **Criminal Records** in Atlanta, the band **Fan Modine** will be celebrating 
the vinyl release of _Gratitude For The Shipper_, with 100 copies on 150 gram double
12″ vinyl. There will be appearances all afternoon and into the late evening including
Fan Modine, British Sea Power, Holly Golightly, The db’s, Turf War, Oryx & Crake,
Emily Kempf & Akuyou.

“Julu Road” – **Fan Modine**

![](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/539w.jpg)

In **Seattle**, the rising band, **The Head and the Heart**, will perform at both**
Easy Street Records** and **Sonic Boom Records**. They’ll also be issuing a vinyl
version of the track “Rivers and Roads” – a deluxe gatefold, with gold foil printing
and an MP3 download. Some versions will include tickets to the band’s sold out Seattle
shows.

At **Dave’s Records** on N. Clark Street in **Chicago**, the band** I Was Totally
Destroying It** will perform an acoustic set at 4 pm that will include new songs
from their LP, _Preludes_, that dropped earlier this week.

“The Key & Rose” – **I Was Totally Destroying It** from _Preludes_

#### Tips for Scoring LE Vinyls on RSD

With so many limited editions coming out on Record Store Day, April 16th, it’s going
to take some good timing and some luck to make you sure get the LEs you want the
most. It’s almost a guarantee that many will sell out fast.

 * Find the [closest participating RSD shop](https://indierockcafe.com/wp-content/uploads/Venues2)
   near you.
 * Get to the record store early on Saturday. Most record stores have a very limited
   number of the already limited editions
 * While many record stores limit one special release by a single artist to a quantity
   of one, there are still folks, especially in large metropolian areas like **NYC**
   or **London** where there are are two to four RSD participating outlets, who 
   will try to buy as many copies of the most sough out limited editions with the
   goal, usually, of either selling them right away on sites like eBay and Craigslist,
   or holding on to them, for years with the hopes that the value for the records
   will increase over time.

It’s our personal opinion that everyone should limit themselves to one copy for 
each release, in order to give as many people as possible a chance to buy an original
RSD vinyl.
