Record Store Day to Feature Allen Toussaint, Emmylou Harris and Randy Newman Vinyl Releases
Record Store Day, the annual celebration of independent record stores, is set to take place on Saturday, April 22, 2017 and included among the special releases on that day are new vinyl releases featuring classic titles from three artists familiar to readers of the Nonesuch Journal: Allen Toussaint, Emmylou Harris and Randy Newman.
The Allen Toussaint Collection, a 1991 compilation of tracks from the legendary New Orleans musician’s first four albums—From a Whisper to a Scream; Life, Love and Faith; Southern Nights; and Motion—receives its first-ever vinyl release in this two-LP, three-sided pressing, limited to 1,500. The fourth side of the vinyl features an etching of a quotation from Toussaint. All Music Guide calls the set “one of the greatest greatest hits albums of ’70s soul, funk, and R&B.
