Are you a vinyl enthusiast eagerly awaiting Record Store Day 2024? Well, the wait is almost over! The official list of titles for RSD 2024 will be unveiled at participating record stores as part of the celebration of Record Store Day on April 20.

Record Store Day, a much-anticipated event for music lovers, emphasizes the importance of supporting indie record stores. It’s a day filled with exclusive releases, special offers, and a vibrant celebration of the culture of vinyl records.

If you’re eager to get a sneak peek at the RSD 2024 Official List, you have two options. You can either view the list on the Record Store Day website, which includes additional details and artwork, or you can opt to print out a PDF version to use as a wishlist or shopping guide.

It’s important to note that Record Store Day does not sell the releases directly. There is no website for pre-ordering these exclusive titles. To get your hands on these special releases, use the Participating Store Search on the Record Store Day website to locate a store near you. Once you’ve found a participating store, reach out to them directly to inquire about their involvement in Record Store Day and how they plan to celebrate the event.

For those in the US, some stores may choose to sell releases online starting Sunday, April 21, providing an additional avenue for enthusiasts to acquire the coveted titles.

The RSD 2024 Official List features three categories:

• Exclusives: These titles are exclusively released at indie record stores, adding to their allure and desirability.
• RSD First: Found first at indie record stores, these titles may later be released to other retailers or webstores.
• Small Run/Regional Titles: This category encompasses regionally based titles sold at specific stores or limited press runs under 1000, making them potentially more challenging to find at record stores across the country.

It’s essential to keep in mind a few key points when preparing for Record Store Day:

• Record Store Day does not supply or sell the releases to participating stores. Each indie record store independently decides which titles to stock.
• The titles on the list are limited in number, adding to their exclusivity. This means that some stores may not receive all the copies they hoped for, or a release may sell out before you have the opportunity to purchase it.
• The US website for Record Store Day lists the available pressing runs in the US. However, it’s worth noting that many other countries participate in Record Store Day, and some record stores in those countries may also offer these releases. If you’re not in the US, be sure to check with your local record store for availability.
• It’s important to stay updated, as the list of titles may change. New titles may be added, some may be removed, and information may be updated. Record Store Day emphasizes the dynamic nature of the list and the potential for changes.

With the anticipation building for Record Store Day 2024, music enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to explore the exclusive releases and celebrate the vibrant culture of vinyl records. As the day approaches, be sure to stay informed and plan your Record Store Day experience to make the most of this exciting event!
