Spin Cycle: Our monthly local-record-store top five

The Top Five Record Store Day Titles You Haven’t Heard About (That We Have)

1. “Testify” by Beauregarde, 7-inch: Pro wrestler turned rock-and-roller. Unstoppable.

2. Roots by the Everly Brothers, LP: This album doesn’t turn up enough. Nice choice for a reissue.

3. RPM Turntable Football, 12-inch (a two-player game played at 33-1/3 RPM): Just when you thought the world was running out of gimmicks …

4. “Dirty Water” by Standells, 7-inch: Maybe this reissue will convince the city of Boston to stop overplaying this song? Wishful thinking, I’m sure.

5. The Muppet Movie soundtrack, LP: Rainbow connection. Juice boxes. Cheez-Its. Party.

Love Garden Sounds

822 Massachusetts, Lawrence, lovegardensounds.com

1. “Brightside”/”In the Picture” by the Julie Ruin, 7-inch (2,000 copies): Unreleased songs recorded during the making of her last album. This Riot Grrl warrior makes you want to dance.

2. The Bloodbirds Live at Mills Record Company by the Bloodbirds, cassette (50 copies): 100-percent locally sourced, four songs, and the same blistering sound you remember and miss dearly.

3. 9 Lives at the 100 Club by Radkey, cassette (1,000 copies): It’s live and it includes a cover of the Misfits’ “Last Caress.” And yes, Record Store Day is about record stores, not just vinyl.

4. Jupiter by Cave In, limited LP plus 12-inch (940 copies): Reissue of the seminal Jupiter release includes an exclusive bonus 12-inch with rarities. This is the record on which they traded their Slayer riffs for Rush wizardry.

5. Dap-Dippin’ with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (1,200 copies): This long OOP debut album, remastered and reissued on clear blue wax (for the nerds) includes an unreleased duet with Lee Fields.
