Record Store Day 2014 // Groovement Picks
Some of the best soundtracks, soul, hiphop and beats releases that have caught my eye this year. I’ve pilfered shamelessly from Piccadilly Records‘ mailout, so have included links to their store for most releases. All the below are UK and Ireland releases for RSD – as you may know by now, the US releases can sometimes differ. Happy queuing.
Mr Thing x Kidkanevil x Tall Black Guy x Eric Lau: Nothing Leaves The House double 7″, 1000 copies Preview video here
Brad Fiedel: Terminator 2 OST selections on 7″
Four of the best from the 1991 soundtrack. The CD cost me a good £16 years ago from the Sheffield Space Centre, and the pressing was really quiet. This will be loud on 45. Ltd to 1000, silver embossed sleeve.
Ray Parker Jr: Ghostbusters
Glow-in-the-dark 12″ – could do without the ‘dance remixes’ I’m sure…
