UK Record Store Day 2010

Record Store Day 2010 takes place this Saturday (April 17) and organisers have said the event will feature the largest number of exclusive releases for the day yet.

Started in 2008 after learning about the US event, that encourages music fans to support their local independent record store. Organisers of the UK leg have said that 'Everyone from The Stones to Foals' is taking part.’

A recently unearthed Rolling Stones track is to be released as a limited edition 7" single, just 1,000 copies have been pressed for Record Store Day. The Beatles, Pet Shop Boys and Goldfrapp are also releasing limited edition recordings for the event.

Britpop stars Blur are releasing exclusive new material, Fool's Day, is the first song recorded by the band since guitarist Graham Coxon quit in 2002. Again, only 1,000 copies will be available in participating stores, making it an instant collector's item.

As well as selling rare material, there will also be a number of instore gigs taking place in record shops across the UK, to mark the event.
