The second of the 2020 Record Store Day releases which could be of interest to Brain Damage visitors has now been revealed - and it came as quite a surprise to us! Following on from yesterday's reveal of the 2007 live recording of Arnold Layne, from the Syd Barrett tribute concert at London's Barbican, being released as a 7" single on this special day, now it is the turn to look at a Roger Waters special for RSD2020. Unexpectedly, those behind this release have gone way back to Roger's 1990 Berlin extravaganza - and are releasing the live recording as a heavyweight 180g clear vinyl LP. As with the other RSD 2020 releases, it is a limited edition: often the RSD releases are pressed up as just a couple of thousand or so worldwide. We understand that there are going to be 8,000 of these available to snap up on the day, so not as limited as many of the RSD releases. It is bound to be quite popular though as collectors add this special edition to their range of Roger Waters items. As we've mentioned previously, these limited edition items are released via RSD participating stores on 18th April 2020 - go to RecordStoreDay.com for more details of who those will be. A reminder that it will ONLY be these stores participating; the stores themselves can't sell it online - the record will become available for customers coming through the door of the store from the morning of the 18th (and not before), in limited quantities - first come, first served, and only one copy per customer. After RSD, if copies remain, they may put them for sale online (and of course, there'll also be copies on eBay inevitably...). UPDATE, 13th March: Due to the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic, RSD2020 has moved from 18th April, to 20th June. Obviously as the situation develops, if circumstances demand the date may change again.
