Record Store Day 2017: Limited Edition Release Spotlight

Record Store Day

04/21/2017

KEXP

What began as a humble way of getting people to shop mom-and-pop record stores is now an international celebration: it's Record Store Day, and this Saturday, April 22nd marks its 10th Anniversary. April also happens to be KEXP's 45th anniversary as a station, and to celebrate both, KEXP DJs will be spinning 45 RPM records throughout the day. In fact, Audioasis will be an ALL-45 RPM show this week.

We're not just celebrating vinyl on the air, but in our Gathering Space: we'll have two shows in our Uptown Concerts series with the dreamy Americana of Evening Bell at 9:00 AM and the punk-pop fun of Mommy Long Legs at Noon. Light in the Attic Records will be open for extended hours from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a mega-sale, and La Marzocco celebrate their 90th anniversary with espresso-filled fun.

As always, there will be exclusive, limited-edition releases, and the rules are the same: quantities are limited, and not every store will have the same things in stock. KEXP shares a few highlights below of things we'll be hunting, but you can check out the complete list of new releases here. • (Various Artists) -- Ciao!
