As has become tradition, back in June of 2011 Vanguard Records and Record Store Day asked fans to vote on www.recordstoreday.com for the five classic Vanguard titles to be reissued on Record Store Day 2012. You voted, and
here's what's in store for this year. These five titles are limited in quantity and available EXCLUSIVELY at participating independently owned record stores on Record Store Day 2012. And if the past two years are any indication, these LPs will be gone in hours, if not minutes, so plan ahead and happy hunting!
