Are you ready for record-geek Christmas, which is happening tomorrow,
April 16? That’s right, it’s Record Store Day again, the annual
celebration of independent record shops and the diehard music fans who
frequent them. Shops around the country will be celebrating by hosting
special events and selling records off “the List,” the yearly crop of
limited-edition platters available only at participating Record Store
Day outlets. From that massive file, we’ve plucked the records that JazzTimes
readers will want to snag. Don’t dillydally tomorrow, and remember that
not all participating stores are going to have all of these titles.
(The numbers at far right in each listing indicate the run.)
