Top 10 favorite LPs from Twist & Shout, Wax Trax Records and more Denver music experts

This year’s Record Store Day on Saturday, April 22, will inject hundreds of limited-edition vinyl releases into brick-and-mortar retailers around the world. If the last 15 years are any indication, they will instantly sell out, further encouraging the collector-culture that has long steered the world of vinyl LPs.

And yet, this year will continue the trend of vinyl’s mainstream resurgence, catering to fans of not only The Dismemberment Plan but Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton and U2.

That’s another shot of good news for metro-area music retailers such as Twist & Shout, Wax Trax Records and Black & Read, who have survived the digital-streaming revolution to celebrate the return to LP-buying that last year reached $1.2 billion in revenue. Vinyl, incredibly, beat out CD sales for the first time since 1987.

“There’s no question that the Taylor Swift release, ‘folklore: the long pond studio sessions,’ is going to be one of the biggest things for us this year,” Twist & Shout owner Patrick Brown told The Denver Post. “Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires are this year’s RSD Ambassadors and I’m expecting their collaborative EP ‘The Sound Emporium’ and her solo EP ‘Live at Columbia Studio A’ to be big for us too.”

Amid the Grateful Dead and Miles Davis exclusives, Brown also was contacted by Debora Iyall, lead singer of the post-punk/new wave band Romeo Void; she’ll be in town to sign copies of their RSD release, “Live From The Mabuhay Gardens November 14, 1980.”

“(It) predates the release of their first album and is definitely a punkier affair than the hit singles they’re best-known for,” Brown said. “She’s been really cool and we’re excited to be the only place in the country that will have signed copies of that album!”

Arvada’s Black & Read will have coffee, donuts and water for people in line as well as goodie bags from 4130 Mgmt., co-owner Derek Rolvsbakken said. There will also be ticket giveaways for the Oriental Theater, HQ, Globe Hall, Lost Lake and AEG Presents shows.

“The biggest draw will be two pairs of physical old school tickets for the sold out ‘The Cure’ concert!” he said. “Everybody loves free concert tickets.”

Angelo’s, the 33-year-old Colorado record-store chain, will also have coffee, doughnuts, burritos, giveaways and even a DJ at its 1959 S. Broadway location, according to owner and founder Angelo Coiro.

Alisha Sweeney, host and local music director at Colorado Public Radio’s Indie 102.3, said Record Store Day is like Black Friday for vinyl lovers.
