VINYL TUESDAY: EXCLUSIVE 10-INCH FROM CZARFACE (INSPECTAH DECK, 7L AND ESOTERIC) FEATURING MF DOOM!

czarface 2It’s Vinyl Tuesday! Record Exchange customers receive up to $5 in used vinyl* with every $25 in new vinyl purchased and have access to early and exclusive releases. This week’s releases:

CZARFACE – Ka-Bang! 10-inch color picture disc
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s CZARFACE & MF DOOM! Who better to team up with the boom-bap hero de jour CZARFACE but the super-villain himself … the masked man known as MF DOOM! “Ka-Bang!” accomplishes just that, and is taken from the bestselling Every Hero Needs A Villain, the sophomore album from CZARFACE, the collaborative stylings of Wu-Tang Clan’s Inspectah Deck and indy rap vets 7L & Esoteric. On it, the three MCs assemble for some clobberin’ time over a hypnotically sparse and bass heavy track from DJ 7L. The picture disc 10-inch also contains the lyrical krypton of “Deviatin’ Septums” (only available digitally until now), plus the mighty “Ka-Bang! (Suckface’s Swine Mix),” which is exclusive to this release! The b-side features instrumental versions to all three tracks. All of it is pressed on high quality 10-inch picture disc vinyl featuring the amazing comic-book-inspired art work of L’Amour Supreme of Mishka NYC fame. Side A depicts CZARFACE tangling with MF DOOM, and Side B has CZARFACE exposing his inner workings. With great power comes great responsibility! CZARFACE embraces that head on, and crusades against wack MCs across the universe!

ABOUT VINYL TUESDAY

With the move to a global Friday street date in July, Vinyl Tuesday was established to celebrate music in physical form and give record store customers access to early and exclusive releases. For artists, it’s a chance to showcase special releases on a special day and not get lost on the increasingly crowded Friday/weekend.

* Must be redeemed at time of purchase. Offer valid during regular business hours (10am-9pm) on Tuesdays only. The Record Exchange will not issue store credit for any unused portion of the Vinyl Tuesday used vinyl bonus.

This is a double LP edition of the classic Jett release. It’s on EXCLUSIVE TO INDIES white vinyl, with the album folks know and love on the first disc and the album performed live in NYC in 1981 on the second disc.

HEALTH – DEATH MAGIC

This is a new release, and INDIES HAVE A THREE DAY EXCLUSIVE WINDOW ON THE VINYLIt’s been over half a decade since Health released a studio album, and Death Magic is a bold, albeit occasionally jarring, step forward, with the band finally embracing the pop impulses that seem to have always been lurking in their DNA.

STREET DATE SWITCHES TO FRIDAY, VINYL TUESDAY KEEPS SPINNING

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 beginning July 10 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!
