RECORD STORE DAY 2013 WITH VIC GODARD, ELA ORLEANS AND WORLD PEACE

We're really looking forward to Record Store Day, this Saturday 20th April when we'll be open from 9am.

Record Store Day (RSD) is a celebration of music culture, records and community. These are three things that we consider core to what we are at Monorail and our day is going to reflect that. We've ordered good amounts of all the records that are connected to what we stock the rest of the year, and a few that don't too. We're confident that we'll have an amazing selection and be well organised but remember it's not us that decides to make really small quantities of some records.

Our own highlights are the Orange Juice vinyl reissue series on Domino (You Can't Hide Your Love Forever, Rip It Up, Texas Fever, The Orange Juice), Husker Du's Statues / Amusement double 7" reissue (with two extra tracks originally intended for a debut 10"), Roky Erickson's Mine Mine Mind / Bloody Hammer (psychedelic swirl vinyl 7"), Big Star's Nothing Can Hurt Me double LP, The Wake's - A Light Far Out (Factory Benelux, signed) and a few incredible archive soundtracks on one of our favourite labels, Death Waltz.

We are also extremely pleased to have Vic Godard performing an early evening set of Velvet Underground songs with his chums, The Sexual Objects. Vic has his own RSD release, Caught In Midstream / You Bring Out The Demon In Me 7" on AED Records. Ela Orleans is a another shop favourite we're really thrilled to welcome, her Tumult In Clouds is one of the year's best. And almost the newest thing in town too, World Peace. DJs will be David Barbarosa, Deena Jacobs, Brogues and Jenny Rollo. We'll have home baking, face painting and plenty of other good things too. Unbeatable.
