Alcopop! is curating a Record Store Day compilation

The indie label has enlisted the help of Art is Hard, Bella Union, Big Scary Monsters, Dog Knights Productions, Fat Cat, Fierce Panda, Fortuna Pop, Howling Owl, Memphis Industries, and Transgressive for the 11-track record, dubbed Sensible Record Labels.

Alcopop!'s owner, Jack Clothier, said: “We’re hoping that amid the reissues, expensive singles and re-pressed rarities, we can genuinely open people up to a new way of thinking, and encourage indie fans to delve into rosters of labels they may not already be aware of, becoming further involved the beating heart of our UK indie scene.”

Meanwhile, Tim Dellow, co-founder of Transgressive (our Label Of The Year 2014), added: "We're thrilled to be involved in something that genuinely captures the true spirit of Record Store Day, and what this community of great independent artists and labels represent. A great value way for fans to get into new bands across all the labels, and support their local indie store. Good on Alcopop! The Alvvays track is "Underneath Us" making its vinyl debut having only been on a bonus tape given away at indie stores with their stunning debut!"

The compilation aims to be a low-price counterpart to the throngs of expensive rarities, and will cost just a tenner in all stores.

It's pressed on "Red/Black/Yellow Crush vinyl, which features individually-ground vinyl of 3 colours hand pressed into milky-clear records so each one is unique," and contains a download card featuring access to hundreds of MP3s, exclusive interviews, video content and more. It's strictly limited to 500 copies nationwide.
