It's only a week away. Should be some good vinyl made available if stocks are decent and Tower are having some bands play for it. What releases are you looking forward to?

I only got my hands on Arcade Fire. I'd have picked up non record store day vinyl exclusives but the prices were shocking. Tried my best to track down Beach House out of all on my list but it sold out everywhere.

Can anyone confirm who the special guest on Tower is?

Creamy Goodness

i bought two records, both were sigur ros.

one for me and one for a mate who's currently over helping biffy clyro record their new album in LA

Was talking to guy in Sound Cellar yesterday and that Kate Bush disc is going for 300 euros on internet so you're in luck.
