RECORD STORE DAY 2012 WITH EDWYN COLLINS

We are excited to announce our participation in this year's Record Store Day event on Saturday 21st April (opening at 9am).

Record Store Day (RSD) is a celebration of music culture and in particular the fine art of sourcing vinyls and cds from the place that specialises in them, the record shop. Monorail Music is such a place, a good one!

RSD started in 2007 and has been growing wildly with most labels joining in now with limited one-offs specific to the day. This year is going to be bigger than ever and we are especially looking forward to releases from...

The Wake - Here Comes Everybody + singles (Captured Tracks 2LP, signed)
Go Kart Mozart - New World In The Morning (West Midlands 7")
David Bowie - Starman with unreleased Top Of The Pops version (EMI 7" picdisc)
