RECORD STORE DAY -- SUB POP STYLE - L Swain

It’s time again for Record Store Day (April 18), sometimes known as Record Store Day 2: The Reckoning. Last year we gave out free CD samplers of our astoundingly good bands, but this year we are doing something even better—SELLING stuff by our astoundingly good bands, but only in record stores, not even here on subpop.com.

We’re doing four limited-edition 7" singles with unreleased material by Flight of the Conchords (‘Pencils in the Wind’/‘Albi the Racist Dragon’), Obits (‘I Can’t Lose/‘Military Madness’), Vetiver (‘Wishing Well’/‘Pay No Mind’), and Blitzen Trapper (‘War is Placebo’/‘Booksmart Baby’). COLLECTOR NERD STATS: All of these are limited to 1500 copies, except Flight of the Conchords which is limited to 3000, but they’re on TV so….

We’re also releasing an 18-track live set from Iron & Wine’s Woman King tour in 2005, but this one’s on CD with extra cute packaging to make it look like a tiny 45. Adorable, and limited to 5000.
Learn more about Record Store Day here. See you in the vinyl bins, bro!

How would one in Australia go about obtaining some of these babies? What time are they going on sale on April 18?

TRY THIS

Some stores are selling their record store day items on THEIR websites—the irony never ends! Check out the list of participating stores and see what you can dig up.

Nicest seven inches ever?

Kudos on the Record Store Day singles. Found mine at Wax ‘n’ Facts in the ATL. Absolutely lovely packaging. You really outdid yourselves! As always, thanks for making record collecting fun for all us nerds out there.

How would NZ’s 17th greatest single collector grab a FOTC 7" down under?

friends in the atl?

I was in a store in Atlanta today that had several of the sub pop record store singles left for sale. I hope it’s cool to mention that it’s criminal records—contact them via their website and see if they will sell you some. or call your long-lost buddy in the ATL and he/she will gladly go get them for ya. google ’em, dudes.
