Six great Like a Version performances to be released for Record Store Day

Some of triple j Like a Version’s best recent performances will be released as 7″ singles to celebrate Record Store Day 2022.

This year, Record Store Day falls on Saturday, April 22. The radio station is doing its part for the annual event by releasing six of 2021’s most memorable Like a Versions on vinyl.

On Saturday, fans will have a hard time deciding between the 7″ singles. There’s Genesis Owusu’s explosive take on the Sex Pistols’ punk classic “Anarchy in the UK” or Middle Kids’ alternative rock take on Olivia Rodrigo’s ubiquitous pop anthem “Drivers License.”

There’s Amy Shark’s version of Fall Out Boy’s ‘Sugar, We Going Down’ or the rap group Triple One’s change of Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’.

The B-side of each 7″ single will contain the original song that the artists covered during their Like a Version set. For the Wiggles vinyl, that means a rendition of “We’re All Fruit Salad,” featuring two of the band’s original members in Murray Cook and Jeff Fatt.
