With international Record Store Day just around the corner (this Saturday April 16), we trawled through the RSD exclusive release list of 230 titles and came up with a list of the 5 things we'd most like to add to our collection...
1. Club Cheval - Discipline (remixes) 12"
Club Cheval's debut album is already a top contender for the award of 'the most slept on album' of 2016 and there probably isn't a better single off it than Discipline. You can find the OG mix on this 12" alongside remixes from Ryan Hemsworth, Panteros666, Louis The Child & With You.
2. Foals - Rain/Daffodils 7"
It shows just how strong their What Went Down album was for this joint to be left on the cutting room floor, Rain is another corker out of the Foals' stable and considering it's backed with the guys' Mark Ronson x Kevin Parker Daffodils cover of triple j like a version fame, this 7" is an absolute no brainer.
3. Notorious B.I.G - Mo Money Mo Problems 12"
a 140 gram pressing of Biggie, Diddy & Mase's stone cold classic Mo Money Mo Problems on 'green money' vinyl? SHUT UP & TAKE OUR MONEY.
4. Skrillex & Diplo aka Jack Ü - Where Are Ü Now
Sorry to say, but we're not 100% sure where old mate Justin Bieber would be now if it wasn't for Skrillex & Diplo re-energizing his career and putting him in his current pop sweet spot. Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Where Are Ü Now is a JAM. This yellow coloured 12" is backed with a previously unreleased remix which we're pretty keen to get our ears around.
5. The Flaming Lips - Heady Nuggs Vol. II 8LP Set
While it's not gonna come cheap this EPIC eight LP box includes all The Flaming Lips studio albums from 2006-2012 At War With The Mystics, Christmas On Mars, Embryonic, The Dark Side Of The Moon, The Flaming Lips and Heady Fwends and is limited to 4000 copies around the world. Dear Santa...
Get out there and support your local store this Saturday (and every damn day) and good luck getting the goodies!
