Hey all, we’ve known about this for a few weeks and finally get to share! This year’s Official Record Store Day Ambassador is none other than the legendary IGGY POP and he’s actually going to be visiting our Sweatstock event! What’s even better is that Saturday, April 21st is also Iggy’s birthday!
He’s been a great friend to Sweat Records over the years and we couldn’t be happier that he’s joining us for Sweatstock/Record Store Day. We hope you’ll join us too for this incredibly special day!
“I got my name, my musical education and my personality all from working at a record store during my tender years. … As Record Store Day Ambassador for 2012 I feel like a representative from some exotic jungle full of life and death and sex and anger, called upon to wear a leopard skin and translate joy to the world of the dead.”
- Iggy on his RSD ambassadorship
