Here's info on the Sub Pop releases, from Spin:

 

 

Record Store Day 2014 is fast on the approach, and Sub Pop has revealed what they have lined up for the April 19 event. The iconic indie label will drop four limited-edition releases on this year's Record Store Day: a live album from Mudhoney, a 12-inch EP by Pissed Jeans, a 12-inch single from the Notwist, and a 7-inch single by singer-songwriter Chad VanGaalen.

Mudhoney's contribution captures their 2013 performance atop Seattle's iconic (and very tall) Space Needle, which was done in celebration of Sub Pop's 25th anniversary. Dubbed On Top: KEXP Presents Mudhoney Live on Top of the Space Needle, the LP features a total of 10 tracks and is limited to 2,700 copies worldwide.

SPIN profile subjects Pissed Jeans will issue a short-player titled The Very Best of Sub Pop 2009-2013: Live at the BBC. The upcoming EP spans four tracks, collecting live versions of songs from the Pennsylvania punks' Essential 2013 effort, Honeys, and 2009's King of JeansThe Very Best of Sub Pop 2009-2013 is limited to 3,000 copies worldwide.

Meanwhile, the Notwist will package "Run Run Run" — a single from their just-releasedClose to the Glass full-length — as a 12-inch backed by two remixes and a new song called "Magnificent Fall." That vinyl will be limited to 1,900 copies.

For his part, Chad VanGaalen will bundle four fresh tunes (none of which will appear on his forthcoming Shrink Dust LP, out April 29) onto a 7-inch that will be pressed onto 2,300 copies.

Pissed Jeans tweeted this out this morning:  Some are saying we have a record store day release in April. Incorrect! We just happen to be part of the @subpop best of 2009 to 2013 LP

 

So it sounds like the Live at BBC best of 2009-2013 will be a Various Artists LP featuring multiple Sub Pop artists

Yeah I'd be first in line if Deadwing was repressed!

 

Nothing against RSD, but I feel like Steven Wilson (and Kscope) will probably re-release Deadwing proper, probably exclusive to Burning Shed, rather than another RSD frenzy. Similar to Stupid Dream last year. 

Although I guess RSD would mean a non-import release, which could bring the cost down...

Right in the same boat but I have to get this LP as Colors is one of my favorite BTBAM albums!  I'm hoping this will include the second set as well.

More info on Thrill Jockey's RSD titles (A Minor Forest, Glenn Jones, Alexander Tucker):

 

 

A Minor Forest reissue their two classic albums for Record Store Day & tour the US

Glenn Jones will release an EP of live selections and one lost track


Alexander Tucker re-issues his self-titled debut for the first time on vinyl 

Record Store Day is Saturday, April 19th



"…look at how much of the San Francisco trio's legacy has been ratified and perpetuated by indie-rock posterity: Hypnotically slithery emo jangle? Check. Appealingly disruptive math-spazz freakouts? Check. Twitchy dynamic shifts under drawling voice recordings? Check. Exquisitely crass song titles? Check" - SF Weekly 

A Minor Forest's two classic albums, Flemish Altruism and Inindependence, will be reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day. Flemish Altruism is being presented with brand new artwork featuring many newly unearthed archival photos and was remastered from the original tapes. The records, which have been out of print for nearly a decade, will be packaged together in a special 4 LP set for Record Store Day and includes both albums in their own gatefold jackets with download cards for the first time. A Minor Forest have reunited and will be touring the US in May. All dates can be found here



Stream: A Minor Forest - "The Dutch Fist" 
https://soundcloud.com/thrilljockey/a-minor-forest-the-dutch-fist

The A Minor Forest story begins in the late 80's in San Diego, where Andee (the drummer) and Erik (the guitar player) grew up. Andee was studying art at U.C.S.D., working at the college radio station and playing in a metal band. The bass player in said band was still in high school with Erik, who was pretty much Goth at the time. The two met through this mutual friend and began to hang out. In 1990 Andee moved away, eventually relocating in San Francisco. Erik followed in 1992, moving to the Bay Area to study music at U.C. Berkeley. The two began to play music together that spring. After months of searching for an acceptable bass player, John entered the picture in January of 1993. He had attended music school at Berkeley as well, playing clarinet in the symphony. One week after their first rehearsal, the three played their first show. 

In the spring of 1994, Dominique Davison, another music student at Berkeley, began playing cello with the group, helping with recordings and occasional live performances. Through Dominique's band, Spitboy, AMF hooked up with Steve Albini in August of 1995. The band went on to record a number of sessions with both Steve and Bob Weston that would make up Flemish Altruism, their debut record for Thrill Jockey. Dominique left the band shortly before the record came out, but appears on some of that material as well as on various vinyl on releases that came out prior to Flemish. After much touring the band recorded their second record for Thrill Jockey, Inindependence with Brian Paulson in Winter of 1998 in Chicago. The band continued to tour and release singles and make compilation appearances for most of 1998, before deciding to take a hiatus in Fall of 1998. A collection of much of this out of print material and a couple new tracks made it onto the Were They in Some Sort of Fight? CD on My Pal God Records in 1999. 

During A Minor Forest's hiatus, Andee went on to play in many bands including Lumen and the currently active Imperils. He became co-owner of Aquarius Records, one of the best record stores in the US. He also started his own record label, Tumult. Erik went on to work in public radio and pursue chamber music with Dominique in their group Threnody Ensemble. This led him to attend graduate school in music at U.C. San Diego. From there, he went on to play with the band Pinback for six years. On Nov. 9th 2013, A Minor Forest played their first show in 15 years at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, which has been followed by jaunts to LA and their birthplace of San Diego. 





It’s incredibly calming to watch Glenn Jones play acoustic guitar....there’s nothing flashy about his style, only careful consideration as he gently hops over the frets like a lily-padding frog” - NPR's All Songs Considered

Glenn Jones has emerged as a clear leader in the new wave of American Primitive music for solo acoustic guitar. Many have mentioned his friendship with the late John Fahey, the genre’s progenitor and demigod, but Glenn’s music is truly all his own. His pensive sentimentality and playful spirit, not to mention his innovative technique, have become just as ingrained into the style’s DNA as any hallmarks of the original Takoma school. Welcomed Wherever I Go is a collection of live numbers, one featuring fellow guitarist Cian Nugent, and one forgotten tune recorded, speculatively, during the 2007 sessions for Jack Rose’s Dr. Ragtime and His Pals

“Island III” and “Against My Ruin” were both originally recorded for Glenn’s 2007 album Against Which the Sea Continually Beats, and were subsequently played live as a medley. The recording that appears on Welcomed Wherever I Go was recorded in December of 2011 at the well-loved and now shuttered Brooklyn club Zebulon. “From A Lost Session” was a recording lost to time until Glenn discovered an unmarked CD-R in his archives, presumably during that classic session with Jack Rose. It is a particularly meditative track for Glenn, in a minor key with an incessant pedal tone not unlike Rose’s pieces of the same era. The entire b-side of the release is occupied by a live take of “The Orca Grande Cement Factory at Victorville,” a duet with similarly innovative guitarist Cian Nugent. Glenn will only play the song live in duet settings where the second musician has little to no preparation or coaching, letting them add to his instrumental musings, ignore them, or destroy them completely. Nugent’s interpretation leans more toward the former. 

Welcomed Wherever I Go is being released in a limited edition, vinyl-only format for Record Store Day 2014. Glenn will be doing limited touring in 2014, mostly in support of a new biography on John Fahey by Steve LowenthalWelcomed Wherever I Go follows 2013's My Garden State





"Eddying psychedelia that calls to mind thunderclouds building over an English meadow in the summer." – NME

Alexander Tucker’s self-titled debut was released in a micro-edition on CD-R in 2005, a quiet beginning to a solo career that would establish him as one of Britain’s most forward-thinking songwriters and sound sculptors. In addition to establishing frameworks that Tucker would explore and toy with for the next decade and a half, it also lays the groundwork for his work with Imbogodom and Grumbling Fur, showing his innovation as a songwriter and expert sonic collage-maker. It proves that while his methods have evolved, his bold conceptual schema were set into place from the beginning. This incubative work is being pressed on vinyl for the first time ever for Record Store Day 2014,  following the acclaim of  his duo Grumbling Fur’s breakout LP Glynnaestra. The download code that accompanies the release features over 20 minutes of additional material. 

The album was recorded just after Tucker graduated from a 4 year stint at the Slade School of Fine Art, setting out into the wider world in mildly disappointed and unsure of what was to come next. When he set about recording the album, Tucker imagined a collection of sounds that were purposefully out of time, using new technologies and techniques to make sounds that would sound at home on a lost wax cylinder. Tucker populates his soundworld with rudimentary electronics, traditional acoustic instrumentation, field recordings, and free improvisation, presenting himself as a fearless explorer blending styles in ways that would only become popular years after this album’s release. 

Alexander Tucker will be celebrating Record Store Day by playing record stores in his home town of London. He is currently in the studio with Daniel O’Sullivan working on a new Grumbling Fur release. 

Tucker further explains the process of writing and recording his self-titled debut:

“The first solo recordings i made onto dictaphone soon moved onto the newly introduced mini-disc recorder into which I recorded guitar noise improvisations and field recordings. It wasn't until 2001 that I got hold of my own 8 track machine. Initially I wanted to make a Faust tapes inspired collage of the mini disc improvisations spliced together with the field recordings, this was until i started processing the material through FX and loop pedals to create cut up assemblages. 

Around this time I had been on a steady diet of 60's psychedelia, Krautrock, Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk MusicBardo PondDead COvalJohn FaheyAlexander SpenceCharalambides and Jandek. These influences began to merged to form the basis for my 1st self titled collection of songs and sound worlds. I liked the idea of primitive guitar work next to rudimentary electronics and combining these elements within the same place.”

Is there anyway to know how many copies of the Built to Spill album there will be?

I've tried looking for info but can't find anything*.

*disclaimer - I have yet to read this whole thread ;)

EDIT - I have now read all the pages of this thread and no luck.... I do have another question though, what's with the Cake box set? it's not listed and there is no mention other than someone posting a pic of all the albums grouped together.... is it some running joke I'm not aware if?

What is Surfer Blood Pythons "Punk Edition"?

 

I need to fix that title.  But basically Kanine records is releasing the LP Pythons Demos, limited to 1000 copies, which were supposedly how they wanted the album to sound but it was rejected by Warner Bros for being too "punky".

Edit:  I guess someone really doesn't like Surfer Blood, since Woe Division was downvoted for asking the question and was downvoted for answering it.  Nice.  heh.

I'm really surprised that Thee Silver Mt. Zion are participating in Record Store Day. They're one of the last bands I'd expect.

I wouldn't take any of their politics too seriously. $$$.
