Record breakers...

摘要

Taking its cue from last year's multi-date drop [HFN Nov '20], 2021's Record Store is split across two Saturdays internationally - the 12th of June and the 17th of July. Created in 2008 to encourage vinyl devotees to support their local independent record shops by releasing one-off collectables, the 2021 double date is intended to help stores that may well be struggling to re-open following the enforced Covid lockdown. As always, there's quite a smorgasbord on offer and far too many to cover here, but among the highlights is Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's Deja Vu Alternates, released by Rhino Atlantic in the July drop. Billed as a 'recreation' of their second album, 1970's Deja Vu, it features alternate versions of songs that appeared on the original album, comes on 180g black vinyl and is limited to 10,000 copies.
