Welcome to another edition of Weekly Wax, UTG’s round-up of vinyl news from the past week!
Most of the stories in the past seven days concerned reissues and new releases for this year’s Record Store Day, which will take place on April 19. From high profile artists like Bruce Springsteen and Fun. to small indie bands, there should be no shortage of excellent records to track down when the big day rolls around.
