Matador marks Record Store Day with Sonic Youth, Pavement pressings
The fine folks at Matador Records today announced a series of limited-edition vinyl pressings to be released via participating shops on the second-annual Record Store Day, which this year falls on April 18.
(The label last year issued a special Stephen Malkmus 10-inch, which was carried by stores such as Twist & Shout in Denver, alongside special releases by Built to Spill, R.E.M., The Breeders and others.)
This year, Matador seems to be celebrating its new signee, Sonic Youth, and is issuing another Pavement live LP, hot on the heels of the excellent faux bootleg that came with last year’s reissue of Brighten the Corners.
The label says it will release 2,500 copies apiece of the following titles on Record Store Day:
OLE-864-7: Jay Reatard, “Hang Them All,” b/w Sonic Youth, “No Garage” (7-inch)
OLE-865-7: Sonic Youth, “Pay No Mind” (Beck cover), b/w Beck, “Green Light” (SY cover) (7-inch)
OLE-855-1: Pavement, Live In Germany (LP)
