Record Store Day is Saturday, and should be celebrated at the brick-and-mortar record store of your choosing, be it Good Records, Josey Records, Spinster, Bill’s, or one of the farther-flung but nonetheless worthy shops like Forever Young in Grand Prairie. We’re not here to tell you where to shop.
We are going to give you some friendly advice on how to shop, however.
Hand Drawn Records, the Addison-based vinyl-pressing company that recently opened and was even more recently written about in the March issue of D Magazine, has its print on a couple local releases in stores Saturday.
No. 1 is a Record Store Day exclusive by the Old 97’s, the 12” EP Off My Mynd, featuring two unreleased cuts from the band’s recording sessions for its latest album.
No. 2 is a limited edition pressing of local supergroup the Texas Gentlemen’s debut, Outta the Blues, each copy signed by cover artist Matt Cliff. The Gentlemen themselves will be performing at Good Records on Saturday.
Happy Record Store Day.
