Rhino will release Syd Barrett‘s “Dark Globe,” backed with R.E.M.’s cover of the same, as a 45 single on Record Store Day April 18.
The single, pressed on gold, white, red and black mixed vinyl, is part of Rhino’s Side By Side 7″ singles series, exclusive to Record Store Day.
Record Store Day began in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees to promote the nearly 1,400 independently-owned record stores in the U.S. and thousands of similar stores internationally. There are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.
