\"\"<\/a>Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five’ s<\/strong> debut studio album ‘The<\/strong> Message<\/strong>‘ was released on Sugar Hill Records in October 1982 and is widely regarded as one of the most influential hip hop records of all time. The title track, seen as an offshoot of funk upon its release, has since been credited with re-calibrating the direction of hip hop and was hailed the Number 1 greatest hip hop song of all time by Rolling Stone magazine. This limited expanded edition features bonus tracks and instrumentals pressed on 180g Sugar Hill Blue vinyl and also commemorates the 40th Anniversary of Sugarhill Records.\u00a0 Oh, and you’ll get a penny change probably for this double album.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>‘Green Day Woodstock 94<\/strong>‘.\u00a0 don’t even look on eBay at this one it’ll make you giggle like a school kid with the prices\u00a0quoted a laugh in themselves.\u00a0 this will obviously be a very popular record to track down on RSD so good luck and remember\u00a0kids don’t pay eBay prices. Even if it is a bog standard release no doubt with no picture inner bag it’s not on coloured vinyl nor is it 180gm so I’d imagine this will retail about \u00a317.99 and I’ve no idea how many are pressed so I’d imagine a lot.\u00a0 Pssst if it does sell out then there are bootleg copies on the web I’m sure of it a friend told me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>whilst we’ll brush over the plethora of Grateful\u00a0Dead releases Green River<\/strong> are seeing a follow up to the ‘Rehab doll’ and ‘Dry As A Bone’ reissues a 2000\u00a0piece release of a live show,\u00a0 It’s taken from the bands personal archives. Recorded on Sept 28,1984 at the Tropicana in Olympia Washington. It might be fairly unspectacular to most but I’d bet its a damn good show but might be a little uninspired considering what else is on offer. I’m sure it’ll set you back around the \u00a320 mark.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One that will no doubt fly off the shelves (much like the CD did)is this fantastic offering from Heavy Drapes. <\/strong>Described as the brightest burning meteorites in the UK punk scene; a band that soared from playing to twenty-odd people (I’m sure they weren’t odd) in Bathgate in Scotland to the main stage of Rebellion 2017, the biggest punk festival in the world in little over 24 months. The sudden death of frontman and motormouth Garry Borland was the only thing that could have possibly stopped them and that tragic event has seen the best band in the UK dissolve before the release of this, their long-awaited debut album. Thankfully, the surviving band members and producer Mark Freegard have made sure that the legacy of Garry lives on. He lived and breathed this band and this is exactly how he would have wanted it. Garry spent every waking hour in the pursuit of his dream – the dream that Heavy Drapes would release the best album that they possibly could. It was a long time in the making; that was Garry, it had to be perfect. These ten songs stand tall and proud; Heavy Drapes took a very simple formula and gave it a towering, enigmatic makeover. Dangerous, glamorous, sexy and soaring, all of the things that punk rock generally isn’ t in the modern world. Heavy Drapes have crafted an album that truly doesn’ t have a dull moment on it – these songs do not need to be fawned over; they need to be played, loud, proud and indignant, just like Garry……NOW for the first time released on YELLOW VINYL. I’ll have one of those thank you very much! A bargain at \u00a318.99<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ian Gillan ‘Mr. Universe’<\/strong> 40th Anniversary edition what seems like a very poignant record now in light of the recent passing of Mr. Torme this might just be a hidden Gem in this years RSD releases.\u00a0Demon Records proudly presents the 40th Anniversary Special Edition of Mr. Universe, the second album and the first issued in the UK.\u00a0This exclusive and unique Record Store Day release includes Split Coloured (blue and red), 180g heavyweight vinyl.

\"\"<\/a>Now it wouldn’t be RSD without an Iggy Pop<\/strong> record so this year’s inclusion is a 7″ Dark green ‘Pain & Suffering<\/strong>‘ and its the first time on vinyl. Numbered. also, this year is this bad boy\u00a0Never reissued on vinyl. No new vinyl is available online. Recorded live during the ”Lust for life” tour at l’Hippodrome de Pantin, Paris, on September 23, 1977. Released with authorization of Iggy Pop. this Packing includes Green color double vinyl with original record labels, printed inner sleeves, gatefold cardboard jacket with 2 pockets that has the original cover art and LP marketing OBI (side spine) with RSD April 2019 logo. but wait for it, it retails at mouth-watering\u00a0\u00a357.99 for the double vinyl import.\u00a0 Due to that I’m out which is a shame.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This RSD release is the 2 x lp version of the album Jacobites ‘Robespierre’s Velvet Basement’<\/strong> Originally issued in 85 as a single album as it was regarded as too expensive for a double\u00a0lp . It has never been re issued on vinyl in the uk since that time . Here we have for the very first time the tracks in the original desired running order and remastered for vinyl and expanded to the 2 discs.\u00a0 Presented in a gatefold sleeve with unseen photos from the time and liner notes from surviving member Dave Kusworth. ( partner Nikki Sudden having died in 2006). The album is already an Underground Classic. This version will be pressed on red white and grey splatter vinyl to incorporate the colours from the sleeve art. around \u00a323.99 seems like a fair price.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Japan – ‘Life In Tokyo’ \/ ‘Quiet Life’\u00a0<\/strong>Released to mark the 40th anniversary of the groups’ 1979 breakthrough single ‘Life In Tokyo’ and follow up album ‘Quiet Life’, this 4 track, double A-side RSD exclusive 10″ is released on original Hansa red vinyl and includes ‘Life In Tokyo part I and II’ and the UK 7″ and extended mix of ‘Quiet Life’. coming in at \u00a314.99 doesn’t seem to bad either.<\/p>\n

To be fair this one also looks like it’s coming in at \u00a311.99 which is pretty decent for a 12″ these days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Johnny Thunders – ‘Que Sera Sera Resurrected<\/strong>‘ The 1985 studio album gets the VIP treatment from Jungle and boy have they done a good job (RPM will review this in the run-up to RSD)- completely remixed and revamped with many unheard tracks – as it should have sounded.

<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Mansun – Legacy <\/strong>This double EP is on 12″ vinyl for the first time. The single’ s lyrics mocked pop and rock bands vying for stardom, but with tongue firmly in cheek as the memorable official promo video featured puppet versions of themselves on their pathway to fame. The EP was released in two parts in 1998, each with four songs, and is now released on one 12″ for the first time – on exclusive RSD19 red vinyl with an OBI wrap sleeve similar to the original 7″ single packaging. Not a bad little purchase this and should only be \u00a319.99 Ben has it firmly in his sights but I’ve not been able to find out how many were pressed to ease his tension.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ming City Rockers – ‘Lollipopper<\/strong>‘ This is the first Ming City Rockers release since their Steve Albini recorded album ‘Lemon’ in 2016. It is a new line up for the band who have been touring extensively in Europe for the last two years. It signifies a change of musical direction for them and whilst its obviously Mings, their love of hip hop has come to the surface. Mings will be touring the UK to support the release. It will be their first full UK tour since touring with Palma Violets in 2016. There will be a download code with the single. This song is the first produced by Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, The Kills, MIA, The Horrors etc) No sleeve and a bank bustin \u00a310.99<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Whilst on the letter M there are a few Motorhead<\/strong> releases out this year possibly the best being the artwork for their cover of the Ramones classic ‘Rockaway Beach’ but the picture disc 7″ is one Johnny Hayward has firmly in his sights and with it limited to 1000 copies he might have to camp out and sharpen his elbows ready for the bun fight.\u00a0A 40th anniversary double 7\u201d picture disc celebration of the loudest, dirtiest, bastard rock \u2018n\u2019 roll of 1979, the year Motorhead released both the seminal\u00a0Overkill\u00a0<\/i>and\u00a0Bomber<\/i>\u00a0albums. This die-cut, gatefold two single set contains the lead singles from those classic albums. Limited to 1000 Copies. \u00a323.99 for this double single as well which isn’t cheap. Whilst ‘Rockaway’ will only set you back \u00a313.99<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The New Barbarians ‘Buried Alive<\/strong>‘ gets the triple album deal and clocks in at \u00a333.99\u00a0\u00a0The reasons that Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Ian McLagan, Stanley Clarke, Bobby Keys and Joseph ‘Ziggy’ Modeliste toured as\u00a0 The New Barbarians in 1979 started piling up five years earlier, when Keith took time out from the Stones to join Ronnie, then\u00a0 finding time away from The Faces to record his first solo album. Their obvious affinity, both musically and personally, led not only to\u00a0 Ronnie replacing Mick Taylor in the Stones but to the formation of the New Barbarians as a truly back-to-basics Rock ‘n’ Roll project.Neatly timed to coincide with the punishment duly allotted for Keith’s 1977 Canadian drugs bust, the band performed alongside the\u00a0 Stones at two 1979 benefit gigs for the Canadian National Institute For The Blind before embarking on a short North American tour.\u00a0 In May they headlined at the Capitol Center Arena in Largo, Maryland, and this superb 3 LP set documents that show.\u00a0 Originally released on black vinyl as a boxset in 2010, it is now being made available exclusively for RSD 2019 on black yellow and red vinyl x 3 (triple vinyl) in a beautiful gatefold sleeve – this historic epic show is an essential purchase for all fans of Ronnie, Keith and The Rolling Stones – for Rock ‘n’ Roll outlaws everywhere.<\/p>\n

Staying with Keith and Ron for a bit there are several Stones<\/strong> related items up for grabs sadly nothing too spectacular with ‘Through The Past’ Volume two being reissued as well as Vol one being the ‘Big Hits’ High Tide and Green Grass album. with the most interesting being the 10″ of ‘She’s A Rainbow’\u00a0 recorded a couple of years ago which will be about \u00a311.99 wheras the two LP’s are both gatefolds so look to cough up \u00a329.99 each!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Sonics – ‘Night Beats<\/strong>‘ Few artists loom larger in the garage-rock legend than THE SONICS. With raunchy, cult classics such as “SHOT DOWN” and “HE’ S WAITIN” off their 1966 album, BOOM, the pioneering band staked their claim on rock ‘ n roll, putting the Pacific Northwest scene on the map and cementing their place as heroes for future generations. Those that followed include Danny Lee Blackwell’ s NIGHT BEATS, a group with its own underground origins as well as a direct, fuzz and feedback-coated link between the impact of THE SONICS and their own potent sound. It’ s this connection that led NIGHT BEATS to record BOOM in its entirety, a proper homage to their musical forbearers. Blackwell, along with an arsenal of ace musicians manage to maintain the spirit of original recordings like “CINDERELLA,” “DON’ T YOU JUST KNOW IT,” and a particularly unhinged version of “LOUIE LOUIE,” while injecting their own brand of earth-quakin’ soul-shakin, maximum R&B. Blackwell takes the lead on vocals and guitar, interpreting Gerry Rosalie’ s mean scream with ease. Mike Brandon holds things down on drums as his partner in crime, bass genius Nate Ryan, while Julien O’ Neill grooves things up on keys and Joe Santa Maria wails on the horns. Finishing touches come from Marlon Rabenreither on acoustic guitar, plus Cole Alexander and Dan Gerbang on backing vocals-all working together to keep THE SONICS’ legacy intact, even as they tear the whole place down.Next time you hear a loud boom and your windows rattle, it’ s probably a sonic boom alright; but on the other hand, it might just be “THE SONICS BOOM.”\u00a0 \u00a323.99 for the single album.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thin Lizzy – Black Rose\u00a0<\/strong>Released in 1979,\u00a0Black Rose<\/i>\u00a0is one the iconic Irish bands best loved albums, the record has the only occasion guitarist the late Gary Moore recorded with the band and his influence is felt throughout the album. The album peaked at No 2 in the UK charts and is one of the bands most successful albums and a firm favourite with the fans This version exclusive for Record Store day contains the original album as well as a set of unheard (till now) Demos of the record from Phil Lynott\u2019s archive. The album has enhanced artwork and a new cut has taken place of the record for the best audio quality. It’s a double album and coming in at \u00a329.99 doesn’t seem too bad considering the vaults have been raided for the bonus disc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When the NYC ska scene germinated in parallel to the UK Two-Tone movement, the Max\u2019s Kansas City club was at the heart of it. The clubs pioneering record label, run by Max\u2019s booker Peter Crowley, recorded a number of sessions in 1980, including with legendary Skatalites founder Roland Alfonso.

\"\"<\/a>Venom – Manitou\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Released as part of the bands 40th Anniversary celebrations this shaped disc is a classic slab of Black Metal and we all love a bit of Black Metal and Venom this 12″ is going to be the (un) Holy grail as there are only 300 copies made.\u00a0 We’ll be filling up on cup-o-soups of virgins blood the night before and looking for some Bealzibub assistance in picking up a copy Johnny Hayward has put the call out to his local coven to ensure he gets his cloven hoof on a copy and with it costing \u00a321.99 I’m only disappointed it was \u00a36.66 ITs a teaser for the soon to be released whopper of a box set that is believed to be signed by Cronos as well.
