The man never gets tired of CUTTIN' GRASS and Sturgill Simpsons is back again this week. Volume 2 arrives as an indie exclusive on clear vinyl with a beautiful mix of blue and white. Maybe punk is your scene and if so, The Damned are releasing PUNK ODDITIES & RARE TRACKS on yellow vinyl.  If you missed NATIVITY IN BLACK: TRIBUTE TO BLACK SABBATH as a Record Store Day release, you're in luck this week as the album is back in print.

In the News:  How about a turntable in your car? A special version of the Lexus IS Wax Edition will now be your dream automobile. Cassette sales continue to grow, and finally, get ready for a flood of video game soundtracks on vinyl like the recently announced Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Coming Soon:  There's a ton of new stuff that was announced this week including upcoming vinyl albums from My Bloody Valentine, Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top), Anthrax, Garbage, Moby, and the 50th anniversary of RAM by Paul & Linda McCartney.  You can now pre-order them from your favorite independent record store.
