Knoxville's DISC EXCHANGE Offers Exclusive Pre-Sale For THE V-ROYS

The DISC EXCHANGE, Knoxville’s leading independent record store, in conjunction with F.A.Y. Recordings and AC Entertainment, is offering an exclusive promotion to celebrate the highly anticipated CD release and New Year's Eve concert by hometown favorites, THE V-ROYS.

As a special in-store only advance pre-sale on Thursday September 8 at 10am local time, the first thirty customers that purchase a ticket to the band’s reunion show at The Bijou Theatre on New Year’s Eve will also have the opportunity to buy an autographed copy of The V-Roys forthcoming Sooner or Later CD (due 9/27). Additionally, there will also be a number of tickets and non-autographed CDs available for purchase.

“We wanted to do something special for The V-Roys’ fans in Knoxville,” states F.A.Y Recordings GM, Bev Paul. “The love affair between the city and the band is legendary and The Disc Exchange is one of the best independent record stores in the country, so it was easy to say ‘Yes,’ when Disc Exchange CEO, John Bevis approached us with the idea.”

The V-Roys played their last show on New Year’s Eve 1999 at the historic Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville so it is only fitting that they are playing one last time for their loyal fans in Knoxville; this time at The Bijou.

For this special show-of-a-lifetime, the band will treat fans to a lengthy all-encompassing set of their recorded catalog and favorite covers. Keeping it all in the family, the evening will open with a set from former V-Roy, Mic Harrison accompanied by The High Score.

Sooner or Later is an 18-track collection of remastered material releasing on Miller’s F.A.Y. Recordings pairs thirteen previously released album tracks including fan favorites “Guess I Know I’m Right,” “Fade Away” and “Cold Beer Hello” with five unreleased studio recordings.

Hall’s “That’s How I Got To Memphis,” Neil Young’s “Burned,” and Leiber and Stoller’s “Smokey Joe’s Café” (from the Add Ice era) with the unearthed originals, “Hotel Room” and “Someone To Push Around” from the About Town sessions. The two newly restored tracks, both penned by Harrison, represent the only unreleased original songs stashed in archives.
