Continuing our Record Store Day Black Friday Vinyl Giveaways, we’ll have a vinyl giveaway every day till we close for Thanksgiving! Be sure to stop by your local independent record store on Black Friday itself to pick up one of the Black Friday Special Releases, special limited edition vinyl released that day. In the meantime, enter to win one of our picks of already-released material for your lists of the nice, or if you prefer, naughty.
Now, rather than us going on and on as to how cool this Black Friday giveaway is, we’ve asked our pal Cheryl Pawelski of Omnivore Recordings to fill you guys in.
“The first webstore exclusive from Omnivore Recordings is 500 copies of Big Star’s Third [Test Pressing Edition] pressed on 180-gram CLEAR vinyl. Same awesome cut and pressing as the black vinyl Record Store Day version (these were manufactured at the same time), same cool inserts, same cool packaging!
One lucky TVD reader gets a copy. That leaves 499 over at omnivorerecordings.com – just sayin’.”
For this writer, Big Star’s Third caps off a trifecta of nearly perfect releases. But, let’s be honest, many bands rarely produce such a worthwhile three-fer.
Enter to win our special Test Pressing of Third by submitting your entry in the comments below with your suggestion as to the band or artist who either peeled off three great releases in a row or whose third LP stands alone as a master work. The most clear and convincing of the bunch wins the clear vinyl.
The winner will be chosen after we return from the holiday on Monday, November 28th, and must have a mailing address in North America.
