Leeds-based independent record label Dance To The Radio are releasing a very special limited edition 12" in celebration of their fifth birthday, but also as a part of the upcoming Record Store Day. A double celebration indeed!
The 12" will feature a whole raft of DTTR artists from past and present including Three Trapped Tigers, The Sunshine Underground, Rose Elinor Dougall and new, previously unheard material from iLiKETRAiNS. In a very charitable action, Dance To The Radio have also said that every £2 made from the sale of the 12" through their own store will go to UNICEF.
Dance To The Radio: Still Occupied Though You Forget will be released on Saturday April 17, which is the date of record store day, funnily enough. There will also be a download code for purchasers of the 12", so you can listen to the songs on your computer/iPod/phone/on the bog.
Down below is what you'll get if you buy it.
