WTTS Album Side Saturday, 2017

by WTTS FM | Apr 9, 2017 | The WTTS Blog

There are few things in this world that bring people together like listening to music. Dropping the needle on a fresh piece of vinyl comes with an unbridled excitement, mystery and pure enjoyment that is impossible to recreate. In honor of Record Store Day, we’re bringing back WTTS Album Side Saturday. Join us April 22 as we spin classic album sides all day long. Every hour, win exclusive vinyl releases and qualify for the grand prize, a trip to Jazz Fest in New Orleans to see Kings of Leon and we’ll throw in their entire catalogue on vinyl, courtesy of RCA Records*. WTTS Album Side Saturday gets underway April 22 at 6am, brought to you by Indy CD & Vinyl and Hop Cat Broadripple.

Paul Mendenhall talks with Andy Skinner of Indy CD & Vinyl about Record Store Day.
