The full list of exclusive products for Record Store Day 2013 was revealed last night.

 

Among the 450 special, limited edition releases set to hit independent record store shelves across the UK on April 20 are names including David Bowie, Paul Weller, Pulp and Nick Cave.

 

Bowie will have three releases this year, lead by The Stars (Are Out Tonight)/ Where Are We Now collectible 7”, taken from Bowie’s World-wide chart-topping album The Next Day.

 

There will also be classic re-issues of Drive-In Saturday on a 7” picture disc and his 1965 EP.

 

Mod legend Paul Weller has recorded two brand new tracks Flame-Out! and The Olde Original for the occasion. He said "It’s great to do a record that’s released specifically for Record Store Day. There's so few record shops left that we should all treasure those remaining."

 

JT – Boss of Banquet Records, Kingston, added: “Amidst a real changing time in music retail, Record Store Day is the day that restores not only everyone’s faith in records and the physical format, it’s also relights an excitement about the people that get those future gems to you. A celebration of the strength and diversity of independent shops and physical music. The events like nothing else and we can’t wait.”

It's actually not that exciting for me this year, none of the major acts I like are doing anything (apart from David Bowie, who I haven't got a cat in hell's chance of getting). I will go along and support anyway, most of the new bands I like have something (apart from Hurts :()

It's very sad that my local record shop, One-Up, didn't survive to see this year's Record Shop Day. Hopefully I can pick up some of the slightly smaller releases online. Got a brilliant Domino Records flexi-disc mag, a Pains of Being Pure at Heart remix 12" and the Snowgoose LP last year.

 

Those interesting me this year are: Calexico, Grizzly Bear, John Foxx, King Creosote, Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood, Mogwai / Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat (definitely this!), Ringo Deathstarr, The Beta Band, The Twilight Sad / Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat (not quite as desperate for this one as the Mogwai one!), The Wedding Present - oh, and just noticed Pulp too!
