Record Store Day, the annual event where indie record shops
offer tons of exclusive goodies to music fans in celebration of
independent record stores, will be here on April 17.
Last
year Seattle’s own Sub Pop Records celebrated Record
Store Day with the release of some limited-edition vinyl offerings
from Bllitzen Trapper, Flight of the Conchords and more. This year
Sub Pop stepped up its game a bit with some pretty cool releases
including a benefit CD of live performances from 2008’s two-day SP
20 celebration (that’s the cover of the album over there on the
left) and a limited-edition 7″ reissue of Soundgarden’s first Sub
Pop single “Hunted Down” with “Nothing to Say” as the B-side. If
you weren’t at SP 20 check out the review
of Day 1 here and the review
of Day 2 here.
Here are the details of the Soundgarden and SP 20 releases as well as the rest of Sub Pop’s Record Store Day offerings straight from the peeps at Sub Pop
