Dinosaur, Jr.
Visitors
Label: Numero Group
Release type: 'RSD First' Release
From 1985 to 1990, Maura Jasper was the go-to artist for “ear-bleeding country” trio Dinosaur Jr. From "Repulsion" to their self-titled debut LP, from You're Living All Over Me to "Freak Scene," from Bug to "Just Like Heaven,” and on posters, videos, and t-shirts, the Dinosaur Jr. look was born of Jasper's love for Norwegian expressionist Edvard Munch and English anarchist Gee Vaucher. Collected inside are Dinosaur Jr.'s first four singles, a bonus fifth 7" pairing "Show Me The Way" with a cover of the Byrds' "Feel A Whole Lot Better," plus a Jasper-penned essay on her creative process and a book of unused work from the period.

Pagans
What's This Shit 1977/1979
Format: 12" Vinyl
Label: Thermionic
Release type: RSD Limited Run / Regional Focus Release
The Pagans flame burned brightly for just a few short years, long enough to produce four "godlike" seven-inchers and, post-mortem, a raft of archival collections and reunion recordings. While the dedicated collector may find it hard to believe that any quality material remains to be exhumed, your enablers at Thermionic ask that you open your heart, your ears, (and your wallet) just one more time. On side one we present a complete gig in support of the legendary store and label, Drome Records, preserved onto four-track by Paul Marotta in the spring of 1979. Two of these tracks first appeared on the "Street Where Nobody Lives" compilation, released twenty-five years ago. For side two we go back to where it all began, a living room in a Cleveland suburb, to witness the quick gestation of what would become their notorious debut, the hideously-rare 'Six And Change' 7". Though the released version has, of course, made the rounds, the two previously-unreleased alternate takes (from the same afternoon session and master reel) are too good to stay in the can. Twenty-six minutes total playing time, side two cut at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity, vinyl-only exclusive pressing for Record Store Day. * Unreleased alternate takes of their seminal track, 'Six And Change' * The Pagans worked harder, played louder, lived faster, and left a messier scar on the local music scene than just about any other band could have dreamed. * With only four "properly" released singles, the Pagans slashed and burned their way into Cleveland's music history with a caustic mix of wit, anger, and substance-fueled mania.

Poison Idea/Pantera

Release type: RSD Exclusive Release
Poison Idea was an American hardcore punk band formed in Portland, Oregon in 1980. "The Badge" appeared on their 1990 album, "Feel the Darkness." The song was covered by Pantera for the 1994 soundtrack to "The Crow." This Side By Side series 7" is on purple/bronze vinyl.

Pussy Galore
Pussy Gold 5000
Format: 12" Vinyl
Label: SHOVE
Release type: RSD Exclusive Release
Pussy Gold 5000 was Pussy Galore's 2nd 12 inch EP and was the follow up to their Groovy Hate Fuck EP (reissued for 2013 RSD). Released in Jan 1987 the single pressing of 3,000 sold out in one month. Jon Spencer and company's deconstructionist no-fi NYC rock influenced many a band to follow, and arguably helped to create a market that labels like Am Rep and Sub Pop would go on to serve. This would be the band's last release on their own Shove imprint (co-released with NJ hardcore label Buy Our Records) before they signed with Caroline later in the year.
The Ramones
Meltdown With The Ramones

The Stranglers
Peaches/Go Buddy Go
Format: 7" Vinyl
Label: Rhino
Release type: RSD Limited Run / Regional Focus Release
British import. 7" green vinyl with rare green picture cover sleeve. "Peaches" byThe Stranglers was one of the big summer hits of 1977 in the UK, a close rival to The Sex Pistols' "God Save The Queen" in terms of notoriety because of its explicit sexual references. The single was a double A-side with pubrock song "Go Buddy Go" which was played on UK radio at the time and also on the band's BBC TV Top of the Pops appearance because the sexual nature of the lyrics of "Peaches" caused the BBC to ban it. It reached #8 in the UK singles chart and the radio cut had to be rerecorded with less explicit lyrics.
"Peaches"/"Go Buddy Go"
