“Verso Records: Volume One,” a 12-inch vinyl LP, featuring performances by 12 bands recorded by the Westport Library’s Verso Studios, will be officially released June 3.

WESTPORT — It’s a record-setting event.

The release is imminent for a limited-edition vinyl record from the Westport Library’s Verso Studios — a 12-inch LP that library officials are calling “the first vinyl record ever to be recorded, produced and released by a public library.”

Listeners can judge for themselves when “Verso Records: Volume One is released June 3. In any case, the $22 vinyl record will be hard to miss — it’s bright yellow. (There also will be digital version available for $10.)

To mark the occasion, a release party is planned at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 3, at the library, 20 Jesup Road. Four bands featured on the album are scheduled to perform.
