Gaslight Anthem cover Rolling Stones for Record Store Day

The Gaslight Anthem The Gaslight Anthem will be participating in Record Store Day again this year. The band will be releasing an exclusive 7-inch on November 26, 2010. The A-side features a cover of The Rolling Stones’ “Tumbling Dice,” while the flip side features an original track “She Loves You,” recorded during the American Slang recording sessions. The cover art is silk screened on a jacket that folds like an old shipping parcel and the release comes in four colors (baby blue, black, white and brown) with the vinyl matching the jacket color.

The label is adamant about not limiting the pressing to ensure that anyone who wants a copy can get one for list price rather than overpaying on eBay. You can find the artwork on the release page.
