Record Store Day 2011: Saturday April 16

Events, , , , , ,

It’s that time of year again–Record Store Day is tomorrow, Saturday April 16 2011.  All sorts of weird and wonderful releases are planned and the founder of Record Store Day, Chris Brown, details them in the vid below.

Some of those Record Store Day special releases are a real treat for soundtrack junkies and Dr. Who fans alike. Behold the limited edition 7-inch single news courtesy of Rob Levy and Anglotopia.net. Levy writes, “A special 7? EP with music taken from the scores of the two 1960s Peter Cushing Dalek films is being released along with a super special mini adventure version of Dalek’s Invasion Earth 2150 featuring the voice of Peter Cushing. A second release features a version of the Doctor Who theme recorded by the Smerins Anti Social Club.”

Record Store Day coincides with the Turntabling announcement of the final Vinyl Road Rage #3 itinerary, which we will have another post on shortly. Stay tuned for that and in the meantime check out the RSD video by Chris Brown and don’t forget to BUY SOME VINYL on RECORD STORE DAY!



Scoring on Record Store Day

album, Featured,

It was a long crazy week, hence the dearth of posts here, but it all culminated in a lovely score on Record Store Day including the following:

texas-chainsaw-massacre-2-soundtrack
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 on delicious vinly! Too bad it’s not blood red vinyl, but this one’s tough to find these days, apparently. I won’t say how much I paid for it, and while the cover left much to be desired (plenty of abuse on the reverse) the vinyl itself is quite yummy.

mondo-cane-sountrack-vinyl-lp

I confess I’ve never seen Mondo Cane as I’ve never had an interest in the Mondo genre, but Riz Ortolani is the same guy behind the Cannibal Holocaust soundtrack and I liked those sounds rather a lot. Nice stuff. A melange of styles from R.O.

heavy-metal-soundtrack-album

Here’s a quiz. How many of these bands are actually Heavy Metal? How about exactly ONE of them. The others can safely be called Jurassic Rock. Stevie Nicks? WTF? Of course, back when this one came out, some people thought Peter Frampton was “metal”. That was before the internet, when people were dumber.

johnny-rivers-satanist

On this album cover, for Realization, Johnny Rivers is supposed to look like a hippie, but this presentation really makes him look like he’s about to be inducted as an acolyte of the Church of Satan. I think it’s the red and purple. I LOVE this album cover and am seriously considering having one framed and matted, but only if I can hang it side by side with some kind of hideous Porter Wagoner cover for contrast.

I scored plenty of other vinyl, but these were a few of my favorites. I give serious thought to selling vinyl records here on Turntabling…stay tuned as this might actually happen in a few weeks.
