Today we're adding another title to #TheList of special releases coming to record stores on April 12 as part of Record Store Day.

A single-sided black label 12" Four Tet remix of The Cure's "Alone", exclusively for #RSD25

Some amazing musicians dropped in, including Mr. Sumner, who talked with RSD Co-Founder Michael Kurtz after playing a song from his very own title on the #RSD25 list: STING 3.0 LIVE DELUXE, a 2 LP set, from his acclaimed world tour, with a few tracks that have never been released in live editions.

Earlier this month when we had the #ListLaunch to unveil the titles that would be part of the celebration of Record Store Day this year, we had a little afternoon listening session at the Hotel Chelsea with some friends, including our pals from Marshall Headphones.
