Indeed, some of the most unmissable RSD offerings are reissues – of such artists as the aforementioned Arthur Russell, plus International Submarine Band, Jimi Hendrix, Neurosis, Beach Boys, Sonic Youth, Nirvana, The Doors, Big Star, The Rolling Stones and Kate Bush. There’s Warner’s much-feted box set of The Flaming Lips‘ first five albums or the label, a brain-scraping wee Hydra Head 7″ from Prurient and the rather mind-blowing prospect of an entire unreleased album from the Art of Noise: Music On Vinyl’s reissue of the band’s debut EP for ZTT, Into Battle, is backed with 18 never before heard tracks from the shelved 1984 album Worship. Beck and Bat For Lashes‘ duet ‘Let’s Get Lost’ gets a vinyl pressing, while selected music from Daft Punk‘s Tron score finds its way onto a limited 10″. ![]() Warp contributes a mini-LP of alternate takes from Flying Lotus‘s Cosmogramma, and a split 12″ from Bibio and Clark. Radiohead’s new 12″ will obviously be one of the most popular RSD purchases, along with the special editions of recent and new releases by Antony & The Johnsons and Panda Bear. ![]() Russell’s most immersive and moving record, deploying little more than his voice, cello and an arsenal of delay effects, original copies are virtually impossible to come by, and even the last reissue (courtesy of Audika in 2005) commands around £60 second-hand. The first item we’re going to be making a lunge for on Saturday is the vinyl reissue of Arthur Russell’s World of Echo. So what are the stand-outs? We’ve marked them all in bold within the list, but a few are worth drawing further attention to. So avoid disappointment and undignified fisticuffs by arriving early, and perhaps making a realistic wishlist before hand. It’s an obvious point, but do bear in mind that not every participating store is going to have copies of all of the below records on sale this Saturday, and that those items it does have in stock will be available in highly limited quantities. The backbone of our list is taken from Record Store Day’s exhaustive official guide, but there’s plenty in our list that isn’t in the official guide, like the Eglo-issued dub of Floating Points’ ‘Sais’, for example. We’ve tried to be as inclusive as possible, but also chosen to skip a few items which we seriously doubt will be of interest to FACT readers. To help you make sense of the morass of vinyl goodies being served up on Saturday, we’ve compiled a list of particularly noteworthy releases. The annual celebration of independent record stores has grown in stature since its origins in 2007, with a huge number of special vinyl editions being issued by record labels to mark RSD 2011, and more participating stores than ever. because it’s fucking delicious.This Saturday, 16 April, is Record Store Day 2011. Then call it something else, but don’t tell me not to enjoy it. “But that’s not sushi!” the purists respond. Now, I do, always, unless I’m eating a (DELICIOUS!) fusion roll at a Korean place that specializes in Korean-style “fusion sushi,” because there is no way to eat a roll dripping with gorgeous spicy mayo with your fingers. I’ve known sushi chefs who are Filipino, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, Turkish, Dutch, Chilean, and I can’t think of a single one who would be “offended” by a customer using chopsticks instead of their fingers to pick up their sushi. ![]() My favourite Japanese (as in100% Japanese ownership and staff, which is very rare in North America) resto here isn’t even a sushi place. My favourite sushi places in Calgary and Vancouver are Chinese-owned and -staffed. The vast, vast, VAST majority of sushiyas in the world are not in Japan, and the vast, vast, VAST majority of sushi chefs here in Canada (and in the US too) are not Japanese. Ya basta with this nonsense about not wanting to offend the sushi chef.
