JASON ISBELL ‘SOMETHING MORE THAN FREE’ LISTENING PARTY FRIDAY, JULY 17 – WIN A SIGNED VINYL TEST PRESSING!

jason-isbell-something-more-than-freeThe Record Exchange is celebrating the release of Jason Isbell‘s new album Something More Than Free with a listening party at 6pm Friday, July 17. We’ll have Something More Than Free available for purchase on CD and vinyl, including a limited number of indie exclusive $8.99 CDs and a special vinyl edition with a bonus slipmat!

We’ll also have an ultra-rare (only 25 available worldwide) vinyl test pressing of the album signed by Jason himself to raffle off at the event!

Something More Than Free is the follow up to Isbell’s 2013 celebrated breakthrough album Southeastern, which received overwhelming support from the press and went on to sell over 150,000 copies. Isbell was the subject of stories in outlets ranging from The New York Times Magazine and Wall Street Journal to NPR’s All Things Considered and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit made multiple television appearances, including The Late Show with David Letterman, Conan and Austin City Limits. Isbell won Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (Cover Me Up) and Album of the Year at the 2014 Americana Music Awards. At David Letterman’s personal request, Jason and his wife Amanda Shires performed on one of the last episodes of The Late Show in April 2015.

NEW RELEASE FRIDAY: THE ROLLING STONES, BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME, GHOSTFACE KILLAH, TYRESE AND MORE!

Starting this week, new releases hit the shelves at The Record Exchange on Fridays instead of Tuesdays.

In compliance with the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI, the British-based organization that acts as a music-biz United Nations), every country’s official release date is moving to Fridays to create a worldwide Global Street Date.

While the new global street date impacts us in several ways, one thing it won’t change is Vinyl Tuesday – in fact, the day will get even better. In addition to the $5 in free used vinyl you get with purchase of $25 in new vinyl, we’ll have early vinyl releases, exclusives and other fun stuff in conjunction with our friends at Record Store Day. Stay tuned!
