10:16 am in Uncategorized by TK
Record Store Day hits on April 17 this year, and if you’re in the UK and show up to your local indie retailer early enough, you’ll be able to cop new vinyl releases of some of the bigger records in Wichita’s back catalog. First up, there’s Wichita’s debut release, Bright Eyes’ great soul-baring 2000 LP Fevers & Mirrors. This is the first time the album’s been available on vinyl in Europe. The Cribs’ self-titled debut also drops on vinyl for the first time, and it includes a CD of their demos. Other vinyl reissues include Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm, Simian Mobile Disco’s Attack Decay Sustain Release, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ self-titled debut EP. (Yup, the one with “Bang” and “Our Time” on it.) Silent Alarm comes with a bonus 7″, featuring the songs “Little Thoughts” and “Storm and Stress”.
All these reissues will come on heavyweight vinyl, with deluxe packaging. The LPsare all limited to 1000 copies each, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP is limited to 500. There will also be 700 copies of a split 7″, which features current Wichita artists First Aid Kit and Peggy Sue.
