It’s the kind of eclectic assortment you look for on the most memorable trips to your local record store – exactly what Legacy Recordings and Record Store Day are all about.

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a celebration of the culture and camaraderie that’s built into nearly 1500 stores in the U.S. and thousands of similar shops around the world. On one Saturday of every April, music lovers and hardcore collectors come together to search for LPs offering new favorites, timeless classics, and exclusive discs you can’t find anywhere else. Now in its 17th year, with participating stores and celebrations taking place on six continents, Record Store Day will welcome Paramore as its Official RSD Ambassador for 2024.

Bare Jr., Boo-Tay (2LP – First Time on Vinyl)
“We are southern, we are rock, but we aren’t Southern Rock.” –Bobby Bare, Jr.

Boo-Tay is the first full album featuring the son of country music great Bobby Bare and was originally released in September of 1998 on the now defunct alt/punk/metal label Immortal Records. Unleashing a southern fried cowpunk garage rock sound with electric dulcimer, Bare Jr. is “the best y’alternative band you never heard of” according to bassist Dean Tomasek. The band consisted of Bobby Bare, Jr. on lead vocals and guitar, Tomasek on bass, Keith Brogdon on drums, Tracy Hackney on dulcimer and harmonica, along with Nashville independent record stores’ own Michael “Grimey” Grimes on lead guitar. First time available on vinyl, this 2-LP includes the original Peter Collins produced album along with the promotional Live “Custom Gauge Electric EP,” and early demos as Bobby Joe and the Metros.

Various, Spawn The Album (2LP Red Smoke)

Throughout the 90’s, crossover and blending of styles and artists were ever present, specifically in the genres of hip-hop and rock. Taking that a step further, mixing techno with nü-metal, breakbeat with rap, and DnB with hard rock, was 1997’s soundtrack to the film Spawn. To match the dystopian wasteland aesthetics, this double LP is pressed on smokey red vinyl, and features the likes of Metallica, The Prodigy, Tom Morello, Cypress Hill, Moby & Slayer, just to name a few. Take the plunge deep into hell with Spawn and his foes for this sonic beatdown of a soundtrack!
