April
21st, 2012 is Record Store Day - The Southend area still has several great
shops, from Fives in Leigh, to The Golden Disc & Gumbi's in Southend,
to Carmel Records in Westcliff through to Adrian's in Wickford and slightly
further afield Slipped Discs in Billericay.
Fives & The Golden Disc currently stock new Label 'Angels in Exile Records'
inaugural release - 'The Machines' Album - so 21.04.12 is a great to day
to get it if you don't already have it.
Also, on an International level, the first music from Joey Ramone's new
album of tracks and outtakes is being made available on Record Store Day
2012, in the format of a 7" Single of his song "Rock 'N' Roll Is The Answer".
Talking of The Machines again, I found an old Small Wonder Records catalogue
from late '78 the other day, and I have posted a couple of pages from
it in celebration of great Stores/Labels from days gone by, and Small
Wonder were one of the best...
