More Record Store Day news! This time it's Polyvinyl. Man, oh man, it's really starting to look like my kids won't be getting that college education I've been hyping lately. Education is so overrated, anyway.
This, by no means, will be the last of the limited release announcements, but Polyvinyl Records have just made their special releases for the event official – and it’s pretty damn good, including limited vinyl from Deerhoof, of Montreal, Architecture in Helsinki, and Vivian Girls.
Get full details after the jump...
