And so dear friends another Black Friday Record Store Day has come and gone. This year’s release list was lead by new music from St. Vincent, The Decemberists and Umphrey’s McGee, as well as previously unreleased live vinyl from Gov’t Mule, Disco Biscuits, Green Day, The Velvet Underground and more. Other highlights include rare Hendrix tracks debuting on vinyl; David Bowie’s latest single “Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)” on 10″; a Joan Jett book with an exclusive live 7″ featuring Pat Smear; Dinosaur Jr’s J Mascis covering Mazzy Star; First Aid Kit covering Simon and Garfunkel; The Beatles’1964 UK EP Long Tall Sally on 7” vinyl; reissues of classic albums by They Might Be Giants, The Kinks and others; and Dave Matthews Band’s 1994 Recently EP on 10-inch with a rare promo.
