Music icons The Doors, Otis Redding and the Ramones are all releasing special items for this year's Record Store Day April 18. Under the direction of Jampol Artist Management, Inc. (www.wemanagelegends.com), the artists' music will be available in record stores as part of the event that celebrates independent music retailers worldwide.
"Record Store Day is really important for our clients," says JAM President Jeff Jampol. "We all grew up digging through record stores to find the latest music and share with our friends, and we think it is crucial to keep that tradition alive."
Plus, we will have a very special surprise that will be announced the morning of Record Store Day.
Record Store Day is "a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally." Learn more atwww.recordstoreday.com and www.wemanagelegends.com
