Father’s Day (June 20) will be here before you know it, and The Record Exchange wants to make sure all the Dad Rockers out there get the kind of treatment they deserve.

In addition to our new collection of Father’s Day cards, The Record Exchange Gift Shop is well-stocked with Dad-itude, including tons of Beatles gifts: T-shirts, hats, mugs, Beatles Trivial Pursuit, Beatles Monopoly, album cover puzzles, stickers, patches, key chains, books, etc.

Oh yeah, and Beatles music on CD, DVD and vinyl — new, used and collectible. Speaking of collectibles, on June 8, The Record Exchange will have a brand-new indie store exclusive Beatles 7-inch, the first of the newly-remastered Beatles material to be put on wax! This delicious 45 features “Paperback Writer” and “Rain” and is limited to 4,000 copies worldwide. Fab!

If you’re thinking clothing, well, let’s just say your dad would probably rather rock one of our rock T-shirts than some crappy Sears pastel polo shirt.

No matter his listening tastes, we have your dad’s torso covered: Built to Spill, Josh Ritter, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Black Flag, U2, Pearl Jam, Pixies, Nirvana, Radiohead, etc. etc. We also have custom Record Exchange and Record Store Day tees!

Is your dad into John Wayne? So are we. As American icons go, John Wayne is right up there with Elvis, James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. Dude was simply badass. And really, can you think of anything better than a set of Duke playing cards to say “I’m a badass, too?”

And that’s just one example of the John Wayne gift badassitude we have here at The Record Exchange. Here’s what else we have in the arsenal:

• John Wayne coffee mug.
• John Wayne DVD film collections.
• John Wayne pilsner glass and pilsner glass/coaster set.
