"Live Freaky! Die Freaky!" 7" picture disc to be released 4/18 for Record Store Day

[Jimmy Strummer]

Record Store Day is coming soon on April 18th, and as you know, Green Day has always done their best to support the cause and celebrate with a limited-edition vinyl release. Last year we got Demolicious, and the year before that we got an exclusive split-single with Hüsker Dü. But this year, according to the official release list, a seven-inch picture disc will be released by Frontier Records by a certain "Billie Joe" under the title "Live Freaky! Die Freaky!" Most likely it will be a seven-inch vinyl of the song "Mechanical Man" that Billie recorded for John Roecker's masterpiece film from 2006.

Here's the list for you guys to check out:

Anyone excited for this? Who's thinking of getting it when April 18th rolls around? I personally might get it, but picture discs are kind of a gamble, right? I heard that they're meant for display purposes more than listening pleasure, but some picture discs have been known to be playable with near-average audio quality.

More interested in what Kid Cudi is putting out on RSD.

This is fucking awesome.

I really want the Rocky Horror Picture Show EP and the Atreyu EP. Looking forward to Record Store Day this year, just like last.

More excited for Metallica tbh

This is really cool. Makes me want to dig out the film DVD and give it a watch (with the highly entertaining director's commentary on of course).

Not going to support paying $20 for a 7" picture disc, no matter if BJA is on it.

That's suggested retail, though; your local record store might sell it for less. Even if it's a picture disc, it's just a 7", not a 180g 12" LP that would be more deserving of a high sticker price.

I thought I was the only one who caught this - sent in a link via the "submission" button on the GDA main page, but nothing yet (even though I'm guessing I'm not the only one to have done so). This strikes me as being kinda important.

I must say...it looks pretty awesome. Sounds decent enough for a picture disc.
