Record Store Day 2010: The score!


Just returned from one of my friendly local record stores with a fairly good stash o' vinyl. Armed with a list of things of interest, I was surprised to find most of my 'priority' items. In no particular order... "Streetcore" - Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, vinyl copy with code to download mp3 version for free. "Live at Clark University" - Jimi Hendrix Experience. An official 'bootleg' release by Dagger Records, the private issue label established by Experience Hendrix. It's actually a 5 song EP, recorded 3/15/68 in Worcester, MA. "Live at Hollywood High" - Elvis Costello & the Attractions. These are 3 additional songs from the 6/4/78 performance (about a week after I saw them in AZ, which was also my very first concert). There were 3 songs released from this show as a bonus 45 that came with the "Armed Forces" LP. Why they didn't call this 'part II' is beyond me. I got my copy of the original release on a 12" promo from the radio station I was working at. Those songs are now added to the "Armed Forces" CD. Today's release is also numbered, I guess making it a collector's item in 2050... 'Plundered My Soul" / "All Down the Line" - Rolling Stones. This will also be part of the 'Exile on Main Street' CD reissue. One thing that struck me as sorta funny when I got home, is I realised I just paid $7 for a single, $8 for a 3 song single, and $11 for a 5 song EP. Must be getting old...
