The story of Big Star will finally hit the big screen in the feature-length documentary Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (for information on the film, please visit Magnolia Pictures). After years in the making, the movie will open in theaters, On Demand and on iTunes, July 3. A week before that, we’ll be releasing the soundtrack featuring 22 tracks, all of which are previously unissued versions of classic Big Star songs! It will be available on CD, digital and a double-LP (standard weight, black vinyl). Pre-order now!

If the response to their recent reunion gigs (and anticipation for Coachella) weren’t enough, we’re proud to present the first ever collection by The Three O’Clock covering the years 1981-1986! Coming June 25, The Hidden World Revealed has everything a Three O’Clock fan could want; 20 tracks that include hits to demos to alternate mixes to fan-club singles. 10 of these tracks are previously unissued in any form! According to drummer Danny Benair (from his liner notes), “Over the last 10 years or so, I have made various attempts to compile and create what you have in your hands.” Finally, here it is! The full color booklet also features notes from Michael Quercio and Louis Gutierrez, plus photos and reproductions of original flyers. You’ll “go wild” for The Hidden World Revealed!

There’s a reason it’s called RECORD Store Day… Yes, April 20th will be this year’s Record Store Day, and we here at Omnivore are ready to deliver. Three titles in fact.

First up, we have a 2-LP, 180-gram, colored vinyl, limited edition pressing of the Big Star soundtrack, Nothing Can Hurt Me, from the documentary opening this summer.

Next up, a double 7” on colored vinyl form Old 97′s featuring two tracks with Waylon Jennings.

Third, well, that’d be a colored vinyl 12” E.P. from North Carolina’s Three Hits, whose 1981 Hib-Tone single happened to be produced by Don Dixon, and whose band line-up included Record Store Day co-founder Michael Kurtz!

If the colored vinyl isn’t enough, all releases also include download cards so you can also play the tunes on your digital whatchamajigs!
