SHANGRI-LAS - The Best of the Red Bird and Mercury Recordings 2LP (colour vinyl)

Record Store Day Black Friday 2021.

Limited to 2500 copies on clear vinyl with black "Tailpipe Exhaust".

Liner notes by Shangri-Las expert John Grecco featuring his personal reminiscences of such legends as producer "Shadow" Morton, engineer Brooks Arthur, and band manager Larry Martire and rare photos complete the best-looking Shangs package ever released.

Can you believe there hasn't been a legitimate Shangri-Las collection issued on vinyl since, well, forever?! At least not since the advent of the CD era. But RGM are making up for lost time with this one--when it comes to Shangri-Las compilations, this one's (sorry) the leader of the pack!

Twenty-five tracks newly remastered by Eliot Kissileff from tape sources, presented in a 2LP set pressed in (vroom! vroom!) clear with black "tailpipe exhaust" vinyl, and housed in a gatefold jacket with a 4-page insert.

"Remember (Walkin' in the Sand)" (the "Oh No" song of TikTok fame), "Leader of the Pack," "Give Him a Great Big Kiss," "I Can Never Go Home Anymore"... all your faves, sounding better than they ever have before.
