Hot on the news that Pink Floyd are to release a previously unreleased version of Interstellar Overdrive for this year’s Record Store Day, the official list of releases has landed at Prog.

This year, Record Store Day falls on Saturday April 22, and as usual there’s a host of wallet-emptying releases to tempt us, but alongside the aforementioned Floyd release, the gold vinyl version of Marillion’s FEAR, the 7” version of ELP’s Brain Salad Surgery in fold out picture sleeve, the 12” version of Rush’s Cygnus X-1 and the picture disc version of Yes’ 90125 album all look like must-haves.
