We are extremely proud to announce Sir Elton John as the first ever worldwide Record Store Day Legend. Elton will release his incredible live album ‘17.11.70+’ on Record Store Day, April 22, 2017. Here he is talking about his love of record shops, his love of vinyl and lifelong record collecting habits.
‘Happy 10th birthday to Record Store Day. I love record stores, I can go to the record store in Vegas and spend 3 hours in there. Just the smell of it, the looking at it, the wonder of it, the memories. I love vinyl so much; the tactile nature, the ritual of it, looking at the sleeve…especially with the old albums and the liner notes – who played on them, the process of putting it on, the needle going on and the sound coming out. And it DOES sound better, I know it does! It’s just the wonder of having vinyl’. Elton John
