Record Store Day 2022

Fans seeking Taylor Swift's RSD single face lottery-like odds, but don't sleep on other 300+ releases, from Joni Mitchell to Foo Fighters.

The collection also includes Jett’s cover of the Replacements’ “Androgynous.” “Sunday Girl,” from the essential ’79 “Parallel Lines” album, will be found in the original single version, a French translation, a 1978 demo version and a live track from 1979, pressed on yellow vinyl. It’s not anathema to throw a compact disc in here — in the general sense, they’re “records,” too, and RSD officially aims not to discriminate among formats, although CDs are very much the exception among exclusives. The “Toy” EP includes an unreleased, stripped-down version of “Shadow Man,” two previously unreleased live tracks from 2000, and three other numbers previously available only in streaming form. Their 40th anniversary EP includes the original “A Celebration” plus a previously unreleased studio alternate version, B-sided by the studio “Trash, Trampoline and The Party Girl” and a 2015 unreleased live version of that tune. Even if you don’t know the Harris name — and the “lost” in the title forecasts that you may well not — who wouldn’t cotton to recordings that feature the backing of a proto-version of the Meters, who were first assembled by Allen Toussaint to back her? Yes, it has a higher price barrier than most releases here, and yes, Ayler’s fantastical wildness makes him not as much of a mainstream magnet as Bill Evans… but at that quantity, this may still turn out to be the “The Lakes” of jazz releases this RSD. “Cathy’s Clown” starts off side 2, but otherwise this obscurities-filled single LP makes a case for the brothers’ greatness to a young audience that may not know them by pointing out that they could walk the rocker line as well as be balladeers. Variety contributor Tim Greiving wrote new liner notes based on interviews with the creators and stars; the cover recreates the (possibly controversial) Italian poster art for the film; and the discs are on marbleized vinyl of a you-know-what color. Actually, “on sale” may be a bit of a misnomer, as many stores have decided to hold raffles later in the day for the handful of copies that they each got in (if they got any at all), which does serve the purpose of diffusing the mass angst over not getting a copy. Here’s a Swift-related disc that may not be quite as difficult to find as her “Lakes” single, although, with 2000 copies, it won’t be ubiquitous. Fifty million Swift fans can’t be wrong, and about a tenth of them seem bent on landing the 10,000 copies of a 7-inch single of “The Lakes” that is going on sale at indie retailers today as part of the annual holiday for music geeks.

Vinyl lovers have been flocking to independent record shops across the UK today (April 23) for Record Store Day 2022.
