RECORD STORE DAY: April 19, 2014

Along with hundreds of other independent music retailers, Soundscapes will be participating in this year's Record Store Day.

As we've now grown to expect and anticipate, a whole slew of labels and distributors are supplying limited-edition 7"s, LPs and CDs for exclusive sale on Saturday, April 19th; stock on all these items (a comprehensive list of which is up at the event's official website) is so limited, though, that we won't fully know in advance what orders of exclusive items will be filled, which is all the more reason to drop by our shop on the 19th to see what surprises await on our shelves, much of which, if we sell out of stock, will be available for purchase on that day only.
