The full line-up of this year’s Record Store Day releases has been unveiled.
Alongside previously announced releases from David Bowie, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, the list includes new material from Brian Eno & Kevin Shields, a live album from The National and a rare Miles Davis track.
Here’s Uncut’s pick of the vinyls hitting record shops on April 21:
Neil Young – Roxy: Tonight’s The Night Live
A previously unreleased live recording dating from 1973; Young and his band ‘The Santa Monica Flyers’ had just recorded Tonight’s The Night and played the album top to bottom over several nights at LA’s Roxy. More details here.
The Cure – Mixed Up / Torn Down
The band’s 1990 remix collection Mixed Up will be released on vinyl for the first time, alongside Torn Down – a sequel of sorts featuring Robert Smith’s new mixes of classic Cure album tracks, including “M”, “Shake Dog Shake”, “Plainsong” and “From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea”.
Miles Davis – Rubberband EP
In late 1985, Davis started work on a funk and soul-influenced album called Rubberband with Adam Holzman, Neil Larsen, Wayne Linsey, Steve Reid, Glen Burris and Vince Wilburn Jr. The sessions were shelved when Davis turned his attentions to Tutu, but the title track has now been ‘finished’ by original producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles with new vocals by Ledisi. The EP features instrumental and ‘original’ versions.
David Bowie – Welcome To The Blackout (London Live ’78)
An unreleased live album recorded at Earl’s Court in mid-1978, featuring songs from Low and “Heroes” as well as many of his biggest hits. Record Store Day also sees the release of Bowie Now and Let’s Dance (Demo), full details here.
Pink Floyd – The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (mono remaster)
A new mono remaster of Floyd’s landmark 1967 debut, with new deluxe packaging by Hipgnosis’s Aubrey Powell. Full details here.
