VINYL TUESDAY: EMMYLOU HARRIS, AZEALIA BANKS AND THE SOPRANOS, PLUS GET $5 IN FREE USED VINYL!

November 2, 2015 - The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

It’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:

418456741628

EMMYLOU HARRIS – Profile: Best of Emmylou Harris
Profile: Best of Emmylou Harris is a compilation of hits by Emmylou Harris from her first four Reprise/Warner albums: Pieces of the Sky, Elite Hotel, Luxury Liner and Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town.

418456824835

AZEALIA BANKS – Broke With Expensive Taste
The long awaited vinyl release of Azealia Banks’ debut album. Gatefold 2LP on standard vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies.

418456778913

VARIOUS ARTISTS – The Sopranos – Music From the HBO Series
Available on vinyl for the first time ever! Mastered for vinyl and lacquers created by Kevin Gray, pressed on 180 gram. Imagine an album that could contain tracks by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Elvis Costello, as well as Frank Sinatra, Cream, and Van Morrison. That’s part of the lineup on this various-artists sampler of music used in the television series The Sopranos, music that dates from each of the last five decades of the 20th century, from Bo Diddley’s 1950s hit ”I’m a Man” to Eurythmics’ ”I’ve Tried Everything” from their 1999 reunion album, Peace. Familiar songs like Sinatra’s ”It Was a Very Good Year” are given a new flavor by being sequenced between very different yet oddly complementary songs. The most interesting moments, however, come with the less familiar material — cast member ”Little Steven” Van Zandt and the Disciples of Soul’s ”Inside of Me,” Elvis Costello & the Attractions’ live take on ”Complicated Shadows,” Wyclef Jean’s rap over Sly & the Family Stone’s ”Family Affair” on ”Blood Is Thicker Than Water,” which refers specifically to the mafia family story line of the show. The result sounds like an hour with the radio station of your dreams, which is what this kind of album aspires to be.

BOB SUREN ‘CRATE DIGGER’ PUNK BOOK READING AND SIGNING OCT. 29 (6:30PM)

October 28, 2015 - Live@RX , The Record Exchange Blog , The Vinyl Word - by - No Comments

bob suren screenPunk author, musician and collector Bob Suren will visit The Record Exchange to read and sign his new book “Crate Digger: An Obsession with Punk Records” at 6:30pm Thursday, Oct. 29. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages.

ABOUT BOB SUREN AND ‘CRATE DIGGER’

cratedig_lg-1Bob Suren discovered punk rock as a teenager and spent 30 years of his life obsessing about all aspects of the genre. He is the founder of Sound Idea Record Store, Sound Idea Distribution, Burrito Records and the band Failure Face.

In “Crate Digger,” Suren’s engaging memoir, a small town Florida teenager discovers punk rock through a loaned mix tape and before long, punk music and culture slowly takes over all aspects of his life. His new passion causes him to form a band, track down out-of-print records that he loves and begin to reissue them, open a record store, begin a record distribution operation as a public service, mentor a host of young musicians, and befriend all manner of punk luminaries along the way. Slowly, his life’s pursuit pushes him to the point of personal ruination and ultimately redemption.
