L.A. Turnaround is the ninth album by Scottish folk musician Bert Jansch. Issued in 1974, it was produced by Michael Nesmith, who also contributed guitar work. First National Band alum Red Rhodes played pedal steel. The album is being reissued as a part of Record Store Day 2018, available in limited quantities on blue vinyl. A short film was produced in conjunction with the LP which features intimate footage of Michael, Red, Bert, and company from this period. Thanks to David Cox for reminding the Live Almanac about this unique video now on YouTube!

This past April, in celebration of The Monkees' 50th Anniversary, Rhino Records issued two unique items for Record Store Day. The first was a 7" picture disc single in the shape of the famous Monkees guitar logo, and the second item was a vinyl box set featuring all nine original Monkees LPs (on colored vinyl) along with a bonus album that collected non-album singles and more. However, the Instant Replay LP was missing the song "The Girl I Left Behind Me." Rhino Records began work on replacing defective copies of Instant Replay and they are now available for shipment. If you contacted Rhino previously about this issue, you have most likely received the following email: The corrected replacement vinyl has arrived. Please reply with a photo of your box set and your shipping information. We will send out your replacement LP as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued patience. Dr. Rhino If you have not received this email or still need to replace a defective disc, alert Dr. Rhino for further assistance.

Record Store Day was founded in 2007 and has become an annual tradition that takes place every April. With a stated purpose of celebrating the culture of the independently owned record store, bands and labels will press unique items that are distributed exclusively to shops participating in the event.
For the first time, The Monkees will be represented on Record Store Day, which takes place on Saturday, April 16. In celebration of the group's 50th Anniversary, Rhino Records will issue a limited edition (4500 copies) 7" vinyl picture disc shaped in the mold of the famous Monkees guitar logo. The mono TV versions of "Saturday's Child" and "You Just May Be The One" make up both sides of the disc. Visit the link posted below for more details. And be sure to find your nearest participating store. 
Additionally, Record Store Day shoppers in both the United States and the United Kingdom will be able to purchase the recently released 10-CD box set, Classic Album Collection, on colored vinyl (in the US) and 180 gram vinyl (in the UK). This collection is limited to 3000 copies.
And if that wasn't enough, Micky Dolenz will be the first Monkee to have his solo recordings featured on Record Store Day when 7a Records issues a gatefold 7" single of "Chance of a Lifetime" and "Livin' On Lies" on transparent vinyl, exclusively in the UK (limited to 1000 copies).
