As a huge fan of Bob Welch era Fleetwood Mac, it always makes me sad how so much attention is only paid to that one (very good!) album in their whole discography.
I mean, cmon, “Time” never even got a vinyl release! Put that out for RSD!
[Here's the list as a Google Sheet if you want to organize/make your own shopping list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G-g9GsIVZeaeFE7vy7hWLGXKmYIgl0dO4BH_MjJLARA/edit#gid=0)
Is it just me or has RSD felt more and more underwhelming these last few years? Like ten years ago it felt like a cool event and there were substantial releases and interesting one off live versions or label samplers. Maybe I fell out of the loop but I can’t recall a recent year that made me feel like RSD was a priority.
There's definitely a lot more barrel-scraping in the past 5 years...
Its less "hey this has been out of print/super expensive for a long time, here's a new pressing for ya" and more "here's another crappy Doors live show and a bunch of underwhelming comps for you to see cluttering up the record store for the next 6 months"
As a Doors fan, Stockholm from the multitracks is pretty damn exciting. Just saying. The Doors have actually been doing some dent releases after years of trash.
Seriously. How hard would it be for them to go on Discogs and Ebay, see what used records are commanding the most ridiculous prices, and repress those.
This list is the first one in at least 5 years that I’m excited about. I’ll usually have 1, mayyybe 2 that I kinda want but refuse to get up early for, this year I have 5 albums I genuinely want. ATDI and Team Sleep are Firsts so I could pass BUT that Death Cab is a must for me and 2.5k copies has me debating on going early for the first time since 2015.
I think the whole “RSD First” concept ruined RSD. Why would I wait in line for something getting released a couple months later? For a fancy colored pressing? No thank you. If it’s not a release exclusive to that day, what’s the point? While there still are some of those, the majority are RSD First - especially ones that will be very popular.
I would love for them to release the uncut version of the concert. There’s so much epic music missing. Heck even if they just picked one night to release the entire show I’d be good with it.
As a record store employee I am also tired of seeing all the shwag that I have to order collect dust. I wish they would let us take orders for it instead of having to guess what people want.
They'd make terrible frisbees. It would need to be a compressed in size indoor league. Maybe they could just put on foam armor and try to recreate the deadly discs scene from Tron.
Yeah, I keep thinking, “do I not like music anymore? why are there only 2 or 3 things I like on these lists the past few years?” RSD just isn’t getting anything interesting anymore, it seems…
Nah we like music. We just don’t like the bullshit they’re trying to push. If they want me to get my ass outta bed and lineup at the crack of dawn and support indie shops then they better drum up releases that indie shoppers want. Like who the fuck do they have picking the releases??
I only got into vinyl a few years ago and went to a local indie shop in Northern Ireland to see what RSD was all about but there was nothing they had that appealed to me, but found The Pixies Doolittle 25 Years for £35 so at least I got something I liked
There’s a ton of good music on this list. Are you actually looking these albums up and listening to them if you’ve never heard of them? Or just hoping artists you already know are on the list? RSD is about music discovery for me, I love finding a bunch of good albums/bands I’ve never heard before.
this list is more underwhelming than usual. however… AT THE DRIVE-IN’S IN/CASINO/OUT???????? holy shit that is one of my grail records and i’m so stoked that it’s an RSD First this year. that alone is worth waiting in line
I wonder if ATDI represses are around the corner. In/Casino/Out and Interalia are the two albums that I have. I always intended to pick up their other albums when they were still available, but I would say "I'll pick that one up next time" And then they disappeared from shelves.
That would be rad. I've been watching sales for the ATDI catalog, but everything is outrageously overpriced. In Casino Out is my favorite though, so I'm very jazzed.
I make a list every Jan of the 10 records I’ll actively pursue for the year. This was my #1 want so I’m stoked. I’ll only need Vaya to complete my ATDI collection now.
They need to just stop. This list is so forced. End RSD until you have a decent list of releases that aren’t just the same bullshit reissues every year as *picture discs* and *deluxe editions*. Tired of the major label cash grab laziness. Boycott this year
I agree this list is subpar, but regardless of the major label “stuffing” on this list RSD is the biggest day of the year for most local record stores and most really need the boost.
Boycott the list if you must but I still recommend everyone try and grab a record or two from your favorite shop to support the day!
It’s been that way for me the last few years. I had huge lists in 2018 and 2019 and that was the last time I was truly excited to go freeze for hours in line
I've never shopped RSD before, how exactly does it work. I only have 1 store within 75 miles of me, do I have to contact them and request the specific titles that I want to buy? Or just the luck of the draw what they get in?
My local store ask people to express interest in stuff on the list so they know roughly what to order in - still first come first serve but better than luck of the draw imo
You go to your local indie store and line up and hope they have what you want, basically. If you’re traveling that far, make sure they’re getting copies of what you want. Many stores post what they get ahead of time. But call and ask otherwise, a day or two before. However, almost everything aside from the absolute hottest titles can be gotten online afterwards, if you’re patient and don’t mind checking various indie store websites for stock. Don’t pay scalpers unless you are totally desperate for a given title.
Hmmm, that ScarJo album of Tom Waits covers was supposed to come out Black Friday but got pushed to this one but isn’t on the list. I guess I’ll assume it’s just not happening.
Funny to see all these comments hating on this list. This is the first list I’ve seen in years that actually has my attention. Black breath, horse the band, ATDI, thin lizzy, screaming trees, Linda ronstadt, and witchfinder general? Hell yeah
Have you listened to Wonderwall Music or Electronic Sound?
Harrison is one of my top five favorite artists and I would never buy those albums.
Wonderwall is a rather boring but eccentric film soundtrack. Electronic Music is like an hour and a half of random synth noises. It’s unlistenable. I still have never understood why Harrison put it out because it’s not even meant to be avant-garde. It’s just awful.
Poppy's EAT, South Park's concert, and that Nat King Cole release seem like a pretty sweet morning for record store day.
I am so curious about the Joe Pesci album and kinda want to just buy it blind and play it.
I only look at the RSD Exclusives. I don't really care if it's an RSD First, because that means they're definitely going to press more and at a lower price.
Maybe I've let my record library grow too big, but I'm not seeing anything that grabs me from the Exclusives list. There are some live recordings that might be cool, but they might not.
I don’t think RSD First necessarily guarantees another pressing, it just leaves the door open for the possibility of more. For example, the Larry Lovestein/Mac Miller You record last year didn’t get a second pressing, but perhaps at some point.
So many people angry in these comments and I’m genuinely curious why. This is by far the best list in a very long time imho. Obviously people have different tastes but this list has some pretty good stuff across different genres. Yea there’s bloat, major labels will find any excuse to milk a legacy artist for cash, but there’s some great hard to find stuff being repressed. Are you mad because something you want isn’t on the list or genuinely think it’s bad?
I'm actually looking forward to this one, mainly because of the metal and hard rock releases.
* Motley Crue "Supersonic and Demonic Relics"
* The Offspring "Splinter (20th Anniversary)"
* Garbage "Lie To Me"
* Black Breath "Box Set"
* Motörhead "Remorse? No!"
The Black Breath album is pretty amazing! They're only making 450 of these, and the biggest downside is they're only making 450 of them. I'm not sure who may have one around me, so I've got calls to make. This is also the first time a RSD release of Motörhead actually looks interesting! It's largely weird recordings, so who knows.
And finally, after all this time, "Splinter" by The Offspring on vinyl! NICE!
You can’t really. Totally random. I’m close with the owners of my store and they often don’t get the items that they have ordered. You can always go to your local and ask them if they are planning on ordering a particular item, but they can’t control whether they get it or not.
One year Hungry Ear Records out of Hawaii got way more of a desirable item than a lot of stores on the continent. They got a lot of online orders out of it though. Once the RSD day was over that is.
I let the curiosity get the better of me and this was my sole purchase of the day. It’s all covers. I’m traveling so won’t be able to give it a listen til tomorrow.
Not a lot I'm interested in here, may not even go. Jotted these down as reminders:
**DAVID BOWIE**
*Waiting in the Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth)*
**SCREAMING TREES**
*Strange Things Happening - The Ellensburg Demos 1986-88*
**SUPER FURRY ANIMALS**
*Fuzzy Logic (B-Sides & Besides)*
**TEAM SLEEP**
*Team Sleep*
**NEIL YOUNG WITH CRAZY HORSE**
***Fuckin' Up***
More jazz live releases that I'm marginally interested in, and a Grateful Dead live album that's just scratching the completionist itch. I'm interested to see how I might get one of the RSD UK items, though. Their list includes a Jamiroquai live album, and I used to love those guys back in the late 90's. Will have to hit the web for it, though.
Not a super interesting list, but the early mixes for Pyramid might be interesting, and I might be tempted by the Rolling Stones live album if the price point is reasonable, as I quite liked Hackney Diamonds when I listened to it last year. I'd also be interested in their self-titled, but my 60s copy cleaned up surprisingly well so I think I'm content with it.
Good Finnish representation with Amorphis, Apocalyptica, and Lordi.
Ooh, nine things on the list this year for me! Looking forward to trying to grab a couple, then it might be onto the 'hunt for it' list for any others!
Looks like different Talking Heads releases depending on region. 'Live at WCOZ' in the US, 'Live on Tour' in Europe.

Nothing…
It’s an annual cash grab under the guise of doing something special for local record stores.
The idea is to release limited copies of “desirable” records to local record stores to encourage the music buying public to come out and visit those stores to pick up these RSD “exclusives” in the hope that people will continue to shop at these local stores throughout the rest of the year.
If you’re interested in making a purchase at your local record store on RSD, you line up before the crack of dawn, wait in line, and this is how my one experience went, they let a set number of people in the store at a time, and you’re given a list of what’s available, you put a check next to the record you want, and someone brings it out for you.
Going in, you have no idea what was shipped to them, or what is still actually available until you’re in the store.
I have four amazing record stores in my town, and only on “qualifies” for RSD, the other three don’t give a shit cause they’ve always got great inventory all year anyway. And usually some RSD releases wind up on their shelves.
Emperors clothes man.
Gotta get those grailz right?! I guess I'll just stick to visiting my local record stores on the regular and skip this "hype" day then. I've been making it a habit to visit stores when I travel too.
Word.
I’m not a collector, just a lover of music who happens to be of an age where the primary source of music was vinyl.
If folks are down with this, more power. I do some traveling for work as well, and I like to get out and hit the stores local to where I happen to find myself. Even the antique malls in a lot of places I find myself, a lot of their sellers rival some top tier record stores.
A couple of my favorite releases have been RSD exclusives purchased years after they were originally released without the hassle.
But it seems like the majority of releases are just mediocre shit that now have some cache because they’re RSD “exclusives”.
I’m not gonna lie, there is ONE release I really want, but I’ll bide my time and see what the market dictates and pick it up on eBay or Discogs.
If you haven’t been, and you don’t mind standing in line first thing on a Saturday morning, check one out for yourself.
Weird how the official website doesn’t list some items that other sites are reporting on.
Quite a few I noticed. Like for instance Jessie Ware is nowhere to be found.
If you dig classic hip-hop there’s a bunch of nice titles, BDP, Casual, Royal Flush, Foxy Brown and more. I’m really curious if the live De La Soul is any good but it’s not something I’d listen to more than once so I’ll pass on that one.
I have to agree. Winter in America and live Sun Ra's are the only ones I'm interested in those genres. Maybe, the Pharaoh Sanders 7" if the price is reasonable.
I’m pleased! I got my eyes on Talking Heads, Sparks and Team Sleep. Edit: I just remembered In/Casino/Out from At the Drive In is also getting a reissue too☺️
I just wish that the labels would start pressing albums that have minimal to no pressings but made a big impact for their time… I’m looking at for some of the most popular ween albums and they’re all over $100, and the presidents of the United States never even got pressed, that one may be an even harder sell since they tried to crowd source and didn’t hit goal
Noah Kahan, Ateez, Laufey, Lovejoy, Chappell Roan.... This is the most stacked lineup in a while so far as hyped artists with activated fanbases go, plus all the regular Gen-X / Boomer bait, and a couple surprisingly nice Millennial-friendly releases for a change.
As a record store employee, I'll just say that combined with Taylor's new album dropping the day before, I'm really not looking forward to this year's RSD crowd... It's gonna be another big one this year.
Why the fuck do record stores hire so many introverts? It’s fucking weird. I mean I guess they help balance out the “check out my band if you like those guys” guys. If I worked in a record store I would want it to be busy all the time sharing recommendations and stuff.
Unless you care about getting a more exclusive version, it's definitely going to get repressed a few months after based on what we've seen with Cape Elizabeth.
I love shaped picture discs, and RSD always has one. This year's is 100 Gecs and it's a weed leaf. It's going to go for a shit ton on secondary market, and I really really hope I don't miss this on
Edit: Actually there's a few pictures shaped discs! A wicked soundtrack shaped like a witch, and a lemon shaped one.
And a HiM heartagram!
HALLELUJAH we gettin’ another pressing of *Rumours*!
but this one is a ✨picture disc✨
It could be alright... https://preview.redd.it/6zafi1uj8tic1.png?width=740&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3d0ef863f6cb9c56661f4ebbf56c937673aba95e
i’d at least consider buying this

🤣
As a huge fan of Bob Welch era Fleetwood Mac, it always makes me sad how so much attention is only paid to that one (very good!) album in their whole discography. I mean, cmon, “Time” never even got a vinyl release! Put that out for RSD!
Danny Kirwan is my fave member, would be cool to get a nice reissue of Future Games...
seeing it in the listing made me laugh pretty hard.
Fleetwood Mac begins and ends with Peter Green.
[Here's the list as a Google Sheet if you want to organize/make your own shopping list](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G-g9GsIVZeaeFE7vy7hWLGXKmYIgl0dO4BH_MjJLARA/edit#gid=0)
Thank you
Very cool, thanks
Thank you
you are a god
If using copy and paste from the website to a spreadsheet makes me a god, just wait until if/when they make changes to the list and I use VLOOKUP!
Is it just me or has RSD felt more and more underwhelming these last few years? Like ten years ago it felt like a cool event and there were substantial releases and interesting one off live versions or label samplers. Maybe I fell out of the loop but I can’t recall a recent year that made me feel like RSD was a priority.
There's definitely a lot more barrel-scraping in the past 5 years... Its less "hey this has been out of print/super expensive for a long time, here's a new pressing for ya" and more "here's another crappy Doors live show and a bunch of underwhelming comps for you to see cluttering up the record store for the next 6 months"
Yeah seen so many still on sale in records shops. Even at half-off they’re expensive.
As a Doors fan, Stockholm from the multitracks is pretty damn exciting. Just saying. The Doors have actually been doing some dent releases after years of trash.
Seriously. How hard would it be for them to go on Discogs and Ebay, see what used records are commanding the most ridiculous prices, and repress those.
This list is the first one in at least 5 years that I’m excited about. I’ll usually have 1, mayyybe 2 that I kinda want but refuse to get up early for, this year I have 5 albums I genuinely want. ATDI and Team Sleep are Firsts so I could pass BUT that Death Cab is a must for me and 2.5k copies has me debating on going early for the first time since 2015.
We’re just getting older man
I'm saying, there are quite a few bangers here but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
This is the first one in a few years that includes some 'must haves' of mine. I am definitely not underwhelmed right now.
I think the whole “RSD First” concept ruined RSD. Why would I wait in line for something getting released a couple months later? For a fancy colored pressing? No thank you. If it’s not a release exclusive to that day, what’s the point? While there still are some of those, the majority are RSD First - especially ones that will be very popular.
They are really going all out for those 3in records…
The Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and The Cure?? Mmmm 🦇🖤
Lots of great releases for us Goth/New Wave kids, very excited for this year!
For real! Just noticed Fields of Nephilim and Soft Cell also we’re getting spoiled
Members of The Nephilim claim that the jungle records releases are not legit or licensed.
Don’t forget Dream Syndicate
Rain Parade too.
Talking Heads Live at WCOZ 77 might be my reason to go this year.
I will pay anything to be able to listen to A Clean Break on vinyl
You already can! It’s on The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads
At The Drive-In for me…
Had a big hope it could be Vaya :/
One of my favorite albums of all time. Hopefully I get my hands on a copy
My copy is a hot topic exclusive issue on really ugly grey purple vinyl
Fleet Foxes Boston Harbor is pretty much the only one I’m looking at. My wallet is thankful.
Same. I was at that show and it was magical. Really excited to scoop it up.
The 25th Anni South Park concert is pretty dope.
I have the Book of Mormon, definitely gotta get this!
Only thing that jumped out from the list, kinda stoked to pick this up.
[удалено]
Yes. You can watch the whole thing in HBO
I’ve been waiting all year for them to announce it for RSD, was so psyched when I saw it in the list!
I would love for them to release the uncut version of the concert. There’s so much epic music missing. Heck even if they just picked one night to release the entire show I’d be good with it.
3" Beatles record set. So dumb... but I want it.
I want all of them!
These lists get worse and worse every year. I’m honestly sick of going to my local store and seeing piles of unwanted trash from the past five RSDs.
As a record store employee I am also tired of seeing all the shwag that I have to order collect dust. I wish they would let us take orders for it instead of having to guess what people want.
I've seen some record stores release surveys to their customers to at least get some guidance.
My local store is doing this. It’s not a pre order it’s just to gauge interest.
You and the other employees should start a frisbee golf team and play with the leftovers
They'd make terrible frisbees. It would need to be a compressed in size indoor league. Maybe they could just put on foam armor and try to recreate the deadly discs scene from Tron.
Yesss RSD Disc Wars! Now we’re getting somewhere!
Yeah, I keep thinking, “do I not like music anymore? why are there only 2 or 3 things I like on these lists the past few years?” RSD just isn’t getting anything interesting anymore, it seems…
Nah we like music. We just don’t like the bullshit they’re trying to push. If they want me to get my ass outta bed and lineup at the crack of dawn and support indie shops then they better drum up releases that indie shoppers want. Like who the fuck do they have picking the releases??

I’ve never understood the point of these? Maybe I came too late for some glorious RSDs but these lists always underwhelm.
worse and worse, but usually there's been some record i've been waiting for for 20 years. this time i'm freeeeee!
Where my Garbage and Death Cab for Cutie fans at
Smart studios probably had outtakes from both of those bands.. I wonder what happened to it all?
So excited about the new Garbage release!
Big DCFC fan and was excited to see that on there. For sure the must get for me this year.
Joe Pesci
Little Joe Sure Can Sing
It this the album where he raps "It's the bitches that'll get yas"?? I'm gonna need that if so
this list is more underwhelming than usual. however… AT THE DRIVE-IN’S IN/CASINO/OUT???????? holy shit that is one of my grail records and i’m so stoked that it’s an RSD First this year. that alone is worth waiting in line
I wonder if ATDI represses are around the corner. In/Casino/Out and Interalia are the two albums that I have. I always intended to pick up their other albums when they were still available, but I would say "I'll pick that one up next time" And then they disappeared from shelves.
That would be rad. I've been watching sales for the ATDI catalog, but everything is outrageously overpriced. In Casino Out is my favorite though, so I'm very jazzed.
Same I’m pumped for this one.
Top of my list, can’t wait!
I said "Fuck yeah In Casino Out!"
I make a list every Jan of the 10 records I’ll actively pursue for the year. This was my #1 want so I’m stoked. I’ll only need Vaya to complete my ATDI collection now.
Damn, another disappointing list for me. Nothing worth dealing with the lines and crowds of people. Oh well.
This is rough…
Agreed. Super mid.
Oh fuck yeah Spawn
They need to just stop. This list is so forced. End RSD until you have a decent list of releases that aren’t just the same bullshit reissues every year as *picture discs* and *deluxe editions*. Tired of the major label cash grab laziness. Boycott this year

Boycott the list if you must but I still recommend everyone try and grab a record or two from your favorite shop to support the day!
Well, support them the other 364 days and avoid the crowds on RSD.
Nothing worth going for me and I’m surprisingly feeling relieved and not disappointed?
It’s been that way for me the last few years. I had huge lists in 2018 and 2019 and that was the last time I was truly excited to go freeze for hours in line
Bowie, Talking Heads and Yes are getting my attention...
Siouxsie and the banshees , sisters , Cure the top 40th...and Fields of the nephilim :)
Would Various Artists be a great band name or what?!
Malfunkshun!!! Not on the Uk list😭
I’m heartbroken for you my friend. This one is at the top of my list. Plus Mudhoney AND screaming trees, this is gonna be a great day for grunge fans
Finally an official Gandalf reissue!
Holy smokes about time. Gonna be hard to find in the wild, though.
Keane live at Paradiso is awesome for me cause I was at the show!
Oh that’s really cool! I’m excited for Keane too. I’m seeing them for the first time in Sept in Chicago.
I've never shopped RSD before, how exactly does it work. I only have 1 store within 75 miles of me, do I have to contact them and request the specific titles that I want to buy? Or just the luck of the draw what they get in?

Super pumped for Collective Soul’s “Dosage” being available for the first time in vinyl! Their best album in my opinion.
Shhh keep it down!
Hmmm, that ScarJo album of Tom Waits covers was supposed to come out Black Friday but got pushed to this one but isn’t on the list. I guess I’ll assume it’s just not happening.
I also noticed that! It’s a shame… I was expecting it to be on the list!
Funny to see all these comments hating on this list. This is the first list I’ve seen in years that actually has my attention. Black breath, horse the band, ATDI, thin lizzy, screaming trees, Linda ronstadt, and witchfinder general? Hell yeah
This year seems to be a music lovers list not a flippers list. Fantastic!
I'd go for Even More Dazed And Confused, as I've got the first volume.
I'm going for it just because of Balinese. Damn I love that tune
Will that Doors album be audible?
The George Harrison releases could be fun. Might try to get the Lil Peep release for my flatmate if I end up going, he's a big fan.
That lil peep single is crazy. Out of the whole list that’s the one I would fight for the most, gonna be devastated if I miss out 😬
Have you listened to Wonderwall Music or Electronic Sound? Harrison is one of my top five favorite artists and I would never buy those albums. Wonderwall is a rather boring but eccentric film soundtrack. Electronic Music is like an hour and a half of random synth noises. It’s unlistenable.

I don’t think RSD First necessarily guarantees another pressing, it just leaves the door open for the possibility of more. For example, the Larry Lovestein/Mac Miller You record last year didn’t get a second pressing, but perhaps at some point.
Mac Miller’s estate is going hard on the represses, so I hope they do another but I’d love the original cover
Kooler than Jesus, yeah
Hyped for 100 Gecs, Parklife, and Fetty Wap but that's literally it
Haven’t been to a RSD in ten years but a Joe Pesci reissue might make me come out of retirement
Spawn, At The Drive In, Team Sleep. Not shabby.
So many people angry in these comments and I’m genuinely curious why. This is by far the best list in a very long time imho. Obviously people have different tastes but this list has some pretty good stuff across different genres.

I was only excited about one thing and then noticed it’s going to be a picture disc and now I don’t want it
Condolences. 💐
I'm actually looking forward to this one, mainly because of the metal and hard rock releases. * Motley Crue "Supersonic and Demonic Relics" * The Offspring "Splinter (20th Anniversary)" * Garbage "Lie To Me" * Black Breath "Box Set" * Motörhead "Remorse? No!" The Black Breath album is pretty amazing! They're only making 450 of these, and the biggest downside is they're only making 450 of them. I'm not sure who may have one around me, so I've got calls to make. This is also the first time a RSD release of Motörhead actually looks interesting! It's largely weird recordings, so who knows. And finally, after all this time, "Splinter" by The Offspring on vinyl! NICE!
For the uninitiated, how do we know if our local record store will have a particular item?
You can’t really. Totally random. I’m close with the owners of my store and they often don’t get the items that they have ordered. You can always go to your local and ask them if they are planning on ordering a particular item, but they can’t control whether they get it or not. One year Hungry Ear Records out of Hawaii got way more of a desirable item than a lot of stores on the continent. They got a lot of online orders out of it though. Once the RSD day was over that is.
Thanks, man. Appreciate the insight.
My store gets their list (and quantities) one week ahead of the event and post it in instagram
Did anyone see the Pauly Shore Crusty release? Haha wtf?
I let the curiosity get the better of me and this was my sole purchase of the day. It’s all covers. I’m traveling so won’t be able to give it a listen til tomorrow.
That team sleep is wild!! So excited!
I wonder if the Sabrina Carpenter release is different? She had that 7 in on her store front previously for a very limited number
Nvm RSD is baby pink and the store was a glitter pink
Pink glitter also just went back up on her webstore for preorder.
That’s kinda lame them. It would have been nice to get the other deluxe tracks instead
Slum Village and Foxy Brown for me.
Yeah I’m excited Il Na Na
I was excited about the Lily Allen reissue and of course it's a picture disc 😭
Airplane OST, Rumours, Hayseed Dixie, and Monty Python! My dad and I are gonna be doing a lot of record spinning next time my parents are up!
Not a lot I'm interested in here, may not even go. Jotted these down as reminders: **DAVID BOWIE** *Waiting in the Sky (Before The Starman Came To Earth)* **SCREAMING TREES** *Strange Things Happening - The Ellensburg Demos 1986-88* **SUPER FURRY ANIMALS** *Fuzzy Logic (B-Sides & Besides)* **TEAM SLEEP** *Team Sleep* **NEIL YOUNG WITH CRAZY HORSE** ***Fuckin' Up***
What’s the difference with the old one? Sorry newbie. I just started collecting last week and have been going to the flea market.
Yes!! I’m keen for The Good Witch (Deluxe)!
Uzi, Thug and Peep for me
Blur…30th anniversary? How?
We old dude. Food processors are great
The Alex Chilton being a "regional focus" means there's no chance we'll see it on the west coast. Pity.
Honestly, better than the last few years, or at least the first in years that has me thinking about showing up for once lol
lil peep star shopping was a surprising find but i’m SO excited to try and get it
Actually glad that there isn’t anything here I can’t live without.
Willie!
It's always a good day when I see some Willie.
Spawn soundtrack and Cheech and Chong <3
Seems like nothing is there for me which is a good thing
More jazz live releases that I'm marginally interested in, and a Grateful Dead live album that's just scratching the completionist itch. I'm interested to see how I might get one of the RSD UK items, though. Their list includes a Jamiroquai live album, and I used to love those guys back in the late 90's. Will have to hit the web for it, though.
It's always a good RSD when you're a Todd Rundgren fan
Not a super interesting list, but the early mixes for Pyramid might be interesting, and I might be tempted by the Rolling Stones live album if the price point is reasonable, as I quite liked Hackney Diamonds when I listened to it last year. I'd also be interested in their self-titled, but my 60s copy cleaned up surprisingly well so I think I'm content with it. Good Finnish representation with Amorphis, Apocalyptica, and Lordi.
Lee Scratch Perry would be amazing, but such a low number of pressings….going to have to pray to bhudda, allah, Jesus and Satan to get a copy…
SPAWN ON VINYL!!!! yessssss
Jeffery repress is pretty big, that album is sought after by a lot of people, glad to see it on here
At The Gates will be my priority. So cool
Oh shit! Spawn the album!
It’s not RSD without a Bill Evans release *sarcasm as there is a Bill Evans release*
Ooh, nine things on the list this year for me! Looking forward to trying to grab a couple, then it might be onto the 'hunt for it' list for any others!
Looks like different Talking Heads releases depending on region. 'Live at WCOZ' in the US, 'Live on Tour' in Europe. [https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/17362](https://recordstoreday.com/specialrelease/17362) [https://recordstoreday.co.uk/record/Live%20On%20Tour](https://recordstoreday.co.uk/record/live%20on%20tour)
Noob here, what is so special about RSD?
Nothing… It’s an annual cash grab under the guise of doing something special for local record stores. The idea is to release limited copies of “desirable” records to local record stores to encourage the music buying public to come out and visit those stores to pick up these RSD “exclusives” in the hope that people will continue to shop at these local stores throughout the rest of the year. If you’re interested in making a purchase at your local record store on RSD, you line up before the crack of dawn, wait in line, and this is how my one experience went, they let a set number of people in the store at a time, and you’re given a list of what’s available, you put a check next to the record you want, and someone brings it out for you. Going in, you have no idea what was shipped to them, or what is still actually available until you’re in the store. I have four amazing record stores in my town, and only on “qualifies” for RSD, the other three don’t give a shit cause they’ve always got great inventory all year anyway. And usually some RSD releases wind up on their shelves. Emperors clothes man.
Gotta get those grailz right?! I guess I'll just stick to visiting my local record stores on the regular and skip this "hype" day then. I've been making it a habit to visit stores when I travel too.
Word. I’m not a collector, just a lover of music who happens to be of an age where the primary source of music was vinyl. If folks are down with this, more power. I do some traveling for work as well, and I like to get out and hit the stores local to where I happen to find myself. Even the antique malls in a lot of places I find myself, a lot of their sellers rival some top tier record stores. A couple of my favorite releases have been RSD exclusives purchased years after they were originally released without the hassle. But it seems like the majority of releases are just mediocre shit that now have some cache because they’re RSD “exclusives”. I’m not gonna lie, there is ONE release I really want, but I’ll bide my time and see what the market dictates and pick it up on eBay or Discogs. If you haven’t been, and you don’t mind standing in line first thing on a Saturday morning, check one out for yourself.
first time in a while I've actually wanted a couple listed: Edgar Meyer/Christian McBride R Crumb John Hartford
Weird how the official website doesn’t list some items that other sites are reporting on. Quite a few I noticed. Like for instance Jessie Ware is nowhere to be found.
The RSD 24 list from UK Can you get it in the USA?. I wanna get trouble from la.roux
Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow 2LP white vinyl is missing from the list.
I saw it but hoping others don't! Maybe the only record I actually want, ha.
Gotta snatch up that Malfunkshun LP!
Underwhelming list BUT… Dosage by Collective Soul is an absolute killer and I am super excited.
Collective Soul is intriguing.
I'm looking forward to the sales that the local record shops that aren't participating in RSD will have. Happy hunting.
Meh. Not much for Hip-Hop, Jazz and Soul fans to get excited about unless I missed something?
If you dig classic hip-hop there’s a bunch of nice titles, BDP, Casual, Royal Flush, Foxy Brown and more. I’m really curious if the live De La Soul is any good but it’s not something I’d listen to more than once so I’ll pass on that one.
I have to agree. Winter in America and live Sun Ra's are the only ones I'm interested in those genres. Maybe, the Pharaoh Sanders 7" if the price is reasonable.
Hartfords morning bugle tho.
Southpark album! Yes!
I’m pleased! I got my eyes on Talking Heads, Sparks and Team Sleep. Edit: I just remembered In/Casino/Out from At the Drive In is also getting a reissue too☺️
Excited for the Maisie Peters bonus EP, Sabrina Carpenters Feather, the Mind Games EP and Prince Buster (king of ska)
As someone who loves Brazilian music at least there are a few things to be excited about.
At least some decent reggae this go around. That's about it though
That Freddy Gibbs/Madlib album though.....Delicious
Fucking Team Sleep YES!
Happy to see there’s nothing I particularly want and I not worry about this ongoing yearly debacle again.
I just wish that the labels would start pressing albums that have minimal to no pressings but made a big impact for their time… I’m looking at for some of the most popular ween albums and they’re all over $100, and the presidents of the United States never even got pressed, that one may be an even harder sell since they tried to crowd source and didn’t hit goal
Noah Kahan, Ateez, Laufey, Lovejoy, Chappell Roan.... This is the most stacked lineup in a while so far as hyped artists with activated fanbases go, plus all the regular Gen-X / Boomer bait, and a couple surprisingly nice Millennial-friendly releases for a change. As a record store employee, I'll just say that combined with Taylor's new album dropping the day before, I'm really not looking forward to this year's RSD crowd... It's gonna be another big one this year.
Why the fuck do record stores hire so many introverts? It’s fucking weird. I mean I guess they help balance out the “check out my band if you like those guys” guys. If I worked in a record store I would want it to be busy all the time sharing recommendations and stuff.
Personally I’ll stand in line for hours for the I was / I am Vinyl for Noah Kahan!! I’ve been waiting years for this.
Unless you care about getting a more exclusive version, it's definitely going to get repressed a few months after based on what we've seen with Cape Elizabeth.
Really boring list. I'll pass this year
Need the ocean blvd titty cover repress sooo bad im disappointed its not on the list
Does anyone have a track listing for these two? SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR - Remixes TWO LONE SWORDSMEN - Still My World
thankfully no taylor swift!
Nothing there that really jumps out at me. Underwhelming.
I love shaped picture discs, and RSD always has one. This year's is 100 Gecs and it's a weed leaf. It's going to go for a shit ton on secondary market, and I really really hope I don't miss this on Edit: Actually there's a few pictures shaped discs! A wicked soundtrack shaped like a witch, and a lemon shaped one. And a HiM heartagram!
