Dozens of classic-rock releases are on tap this year for the annual Record Store Day, including albums and singles by Tom Petty, Jimi Hendrix, Cheap Trick and David Bowie.
Metallica's Record Store Day 2016 release, recorded live at the Bataclan, will benefit the Give for France charity in honor of the victims of the November 2015 terror attacks in Paris.
For Record Store Day, many artists will often package previously released songs with some new photos on the sleeve and/or colored vinyl and call it a "new" product. Not Bruce Springsteen, who announced today that he is releasing 'American Beauty,' an EP with four new songs, on April 26.
Soundgarden are getting in on the Record Store Day (April 20) fun by releasing a limited edition vinyl featuring their 'King Animal' demos. This will be the first time these recordings have been available together on one release and will give listeners a peek at how some of the material from their recent album sounded early on.
