What I'm Hoping to Get at Record Store Day April 18: The Who, Brian Wilson, George Harrison, More

The list is out. Here's what I'm hoping to snag. How about you?


The Who - A Quick One

A Quick One was originally released on December 9, 1966. It reached #4 in the U.K.

Unlike other albums by The Who, where guitarist Pete Townshend was the primary or sole songwriter, A Quick One features significant songwriting contributions from all band members. The album ends with a musical suite titled "A Quick One, While He's Away", which served as an inspiration for later rock operas the band was involved with, such as Tommy and Quadrophenia.

This 2-LP version for Record Store Day includes the original album (in mono) as well as an LP of B-sides, alternate versions, and instrumentals. Lavishly packaged with printed inner bags and pressed on color vinyl.


Brian Wilson - On Tour

After the triumph of Brian Wilson’s legendary Roxy Theatre shows in 2000, he and his stellar band took that magic around the globe — and this collection captures the rare gems along the way. From Carnegie Hall and Chicago to London’s Royal Festival Hall and UCLA’s Royce Hall, these performances showcase Wilson at his most inspired, reimagining classics and unveiling deep cuts with warmth and precision. Spanning 1999 to 2007, this live set bridges eras — a rare chance to experience Brian’s golden creative run beyond The Roxy.


Abbey Lincoln - That's Him

Exclusive Limited Edition LP of the rare MONO mix of Abbey Lincoln’s 1957 classic album That’s Him! on Riverside Records. Featuring Kenny Dorham, Sonny Rollins, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Max Roach, lacquers are cut from the original tapes (AAA) by Kevin Gray and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI. Housed in tip-on jacket.


George Harrison - 
Dark Horse Zoetrope LP

Continuation of the Record Store Day exclusive series reissuing George Harrison's full studio album catalog on limited, numbered Zoetrope vinyl. 

Released in December 1974, Dark Horse capped a prolific year for George Harrison, during which he had established his own Dark Horse record label, built a recording studio in his Friar Park home in England, and completed an ambitious tour of North America.

George Harrison - Extra Texture Zoetrope LP

Continuation of the Recod Store Day exclusive series reissuing George Harrison's full studio album catalog on limited, numbered Zoetrope vinyl. In late 1974, George returned to California to record his next album, the soul-tinged Extra Texture (Read All About It.) Leon Russell played piano on “Tired of Midnight Blue, ” and for some of the sessions, Harrison was joined by guitarist Jesse Ed Davis, plus Jim Keltner, Paul Stallworth, and David Foster from new band Attitudes, who were later signed by George’s newly formed Dark Horse label.
