Record Store Day 2013

There’s going to be some pretty nice rarities and goodies available to the zealots, stalwarts, and casual fans across the country who partake and take advantage of Record Store Day 2013 on April 20th. As we reported, Jack White (of The White Stripes fame) is the Ambassador of the anticipated day this year, the 6th incarnation of it, a day in which celebration for the black circle, the vinyl record, runs sky high. And items like a rare limited edition Jimi Hendrix poster and single, a nice cachet of offerings from Warner Brothers Records showcasing bands like Cream, The Deftones, Gary Clark Jr., The Stooges, and The Flaming Lips to name a few, will be available for purchase to those who are lucky enough to snag them. And to top it all off, there’s even a single by Paul McCartney to be released as well for sale which is for sure to be the icing on the cake for vinyl collectors.

Below is the info on the Hendrix and McCartney offerings, as well as a full list of all the offerings from Warner Bros. Records with descriptions and edition numbers.

Here’s the skinny on the Jimi Hendrix poster that’s going to be available: An extremely limited run of only 5,000 were pressed, which shows the late legendary guitarist perusing in a record shop right before the release of his debut album Are You Experienced in 1967. Sources say that Hendrix was a huge record store zealot and frequented them often. Hendrix’s sister, Jamie, mentioned that it was “entirely appropriate that an image of Jimi Hendrix is on the official Record Store Day poster.” The poster will be free, but one is urged to visit their local record shop to find out the details on how to acquire one as demand will without a doubt ensure that the poster will be quickly snatched up by ravenous fans. In addition to the poster, there will also be a limited edition, 7-inch vinyl single with the original mono mix of Hendrix’s version of “Hey Joe,” backed with “Stone Free,” which have not been available since their original release in 1966.

Paul McCartney announced via his Facebook page, that he’ll be releasing a 45 single of his 1977 hit “Maybe I’m Amazed.” The song, a live version recorded during his stint with Wings during a 1976 tour, was originally released as a 12-inch radio-promotional item, to create buzz for the live Wings Over America record set released during that time.

The record company sent out a press release detailing all of their offerings for Record Store Day, which includes a diverse collection of exclusive vinyl packages from bands ranging from The Black Keys, Tegan and Sara, Linkin Park, The Flaming Lips, Gary Clark Jr, The Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold, Iron and Wine and the seminal psychedelic blues trio, Cream among others.

The Black Keys in particular have an extremely rare single coming out, which is their cover of The Stooges’ track “No Fun,” which is backed by the original version by the Detroit foursome, led by Iggy Pop, and is going to be pressed on colorful orange and red sunburst vinyl.
