RSD celebration from Alive Naturalsound

Alive Naturalsound, the Los Angeles label responsible for releasing the debut album by The Black Keys, has announced the details of Rock & Roll Is A Beautiful Thing, a limited edition double vinyl compilation album featuring many artists associated with the company.

“Instead of being just another label compilation of previously released material slapped together,” say the label, “we’re bringing you newly recorded tracks, unreleased studio outtakes, spirited cover songs, and tracks available on vinyl for the first time, all carefully mastered, and complete with a cover by illustrator William Stout.” Stout was responsible for many of the album covers on the infamous Trademark of Quality bootleg label, and later designed posters for The Ramones and The Smithereens.

The album will be released on April 18, Record Store Day, and is limited to just 900 copies.
