Grab a fellow record-loving pal and stop by Wild Honey Records this weekend, ’cause we’ve added 200+ LPs to the racks in the last 48 hours AND… we’ll be adding 300+ more tonight! Plus, there will be some fresh dollar LPs under the tent. See you this weekend!
We’ll be setting up the tent tomorrow with $1-or-less LPs and 45s! Plus, here are a few random new albums you might enjoy this weekend…
Cage & Aviary — Migration
Label: Internasjonal
Londoners Jamie Paton and Nigel Hoyle officially release their debut album on vinyl in the U.S. this week. This high-flying, cinematic electronic LP will have you migrating to the dancefloor.
Barry Gray — Space: 1999 Original Soundtrack
Label: RCA
Wondrous sonic creations by the legendary British television composer Barry Gray…outer space never sounded so groovy.
Elvis Presley — self-titled
Label: Friday Music
Once upon a time, before the white-jumpsuited karate moves on stage, there was young, handsome, wild-eyed Elvis. That Elvis is here, on this limited edition gatefold reissue of his second LP (RCA, 1956) with “Rip It Up,” “Long Tall Sally” and ten other tracks ready to reignite the fire. You ready, Teddy?
The list below is a run-down of newly released LPs that will hit our record racks for the first time this Saturday. In the spirit of Record Store Day, these carefully curated albums have been cherry-picked from various parts of the globe with our much-appreciated Wild Honey customers in mind. In other words, here’s some stuff you might not find anywhere else…
Dusty Springfield — Dusty… Definitely
Label: Music On Vinyl (Import – UK)
A good import to grab since this highly regarded 1968 album has never been issued in the United States. Dusty chose which songs she wanted to record on this one.
Lee Hazlewood — The LHI Years: Singles, Nudes, & Backsides (1968-71)
Label: Light In The Attic (USA)
What a cover photo! This double-album pulls together the best solo and duet gems from the songwriting legend’s own Lee Hazlewood Industries. Limited edition.

Label: Vinilisssimo (Import – Spain)
Brilliant British psych-folk by a founding member of Soft Machine (gatefold reissue of the 1969 Harvest Records classic).

Much-loved compilation of hard-to-find ’60s freak beat rarities (originally released in 2001).

Label: Reel Time (Import – UK)
This wacko 1967 documentary yielded an excellent Mike Curb-produced collection of hippie rock and garage gems.

Gene Clark — No Other
Label: 4 Men With Beards (USA)
High-quality reissue of ex-Byrd Gene Clark’s hard-to-find sixth album.
Grateful Dead — Dark Star: Europe ’72 Olympia Theatre – Paris, France 5/4/72
Label: Rhino (USA)
They’re saying this is the longest version (approximately 40 minutes!) of “Dark Star” from the Dead’s Europe ’72 tour, but how do they remember? Limited Edition 180 gram.

João Gilberto — self-titled
Label: Klimt (Import – France)
One of the best bossa nova albums of all time. One of the best albums of all time. Put this on and you’ll forget what you were doing. Limited Edition reissue of the 1973 LP.
Small Faces — self-titled
Label: 4 Men With Beards (USA)
Google “Rod Stewart” if you’re not familiar. Heavy-duty gatefold 180 gram reissue.
Emily — self-titled

Cool reissue of a 1972 psych-folk obscurity (recorded in Paris by a 16-year-old New Yorker!).
Musette — Drape Me In Velvet
Label: Häpna (Import – Sweden)
Ethereal sound collages recorded on vintage tapes. The Häpna label describes this album as “music for amusement parks with neglected maintenance.”
