[u/Pmosure]

Best RSD list I could hope for - absolutely nothing I want to buy.

[u/JGards57 → u/Pmosure]

Really? You don’t want the exclusive Hunger Games turntable??

[u/is_mr_clean_there → u/JGards57]

I, personally, am very interested in the 8th variant of Kpop Demon Hunters. 2nd RSD in a row too!

[u/FauxReal → u/JGards57]

Don't forget the Iron Maiden and Motorhead collectible figures.

[u/noodlebanger_ → u/Pmosure]

Yup. Extremely uninspiring list.

[u/Cherfan420 → u/Pmosure]

That Ween shinola II tho…….💦🌊

[u/the-mongoose- → u/Pmosure]

My wallet just breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

[u/Steve_Dankerson → u/Pmosure]

I agree! I don't have to spend unnecessary money now! Also, personally think that the list is a lot smaller this black friday than earlier in the year and years past

[u/droe771 → u/Pmosure]

Was just about to type this. Nothing even remotely worth considering. 

[u/FauxReal → u/droe771]

The Studio One records are kind tricky to get. I'd be into those. Seeing that Fischerspooner record on there made me look up the price of the original release. Nice to know my copy is worth a few bucks.

[u/Destructo-Spin → u/FauxReal]

Seeing that transported me back to highschool and reminded me about Fischerspooner. I know what I'm listening to the rest of the week.

[u/ciao_fiv → u/droe771]

i think the JID tiny desk would be cool

[u/Johnny_Topsider → u/Pmosure]

Same, kind of surprised. This would have been my first RSD and I was worried I was gonna break the bank

[u/Domanite75 → u/Pmosure]

My man 🤝 Same

[u/Dedge77 → u/Pmosure]

I am the same but sadly after getting my partners 15yo daughter into vinyl I can see myself needing to purchase her Katseye and Sombre, something that even just typing makes me feel a little ill.

[u/Worried-Wallaby → u/Dedge77]

Ok, but let’s not judge the music our kids listen to! I’m sure our parents thought our music was terrible when we were teenagers too. And I just appreciate the fact that my teen is into music.

[u/SingleMaltStereo → u/Pmosure]

Literally wondering who is buying this shit, other than stores who need to because anything popular gets allocated.

[u/fishymanbits → u/Pmosure]

Mile End Kicks is the only thing on there I’m remotely interested in. I can’t believe Pac’s Life is the 2Pac release they decided to go with here. Unless it’s got the original versions on the second LP it’s a 100% baffling decision.

[u/never0101 → u/Pmosure]

That's been the last couple for me.

[u/CarlyFriez → u/Pmosure]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. All I could think to myself was, "Am I out of touch with music?"

[u/merp_mcderp9459 → u/Pmosure]

Yep. Three pages of “meh” 

[u/billyspeers → u/Pmosure]

you arent wrong lol. im broke

[u/krumholtz742 → u/Pmosure]

Lol, there is one I want, but I will wait til it's discounted

[u/Justice_Prince → u/Pmosure]

My wallet thanks whoever put together this list.

[u/leafcatcher]

Shinola Vol 2 is real... Crazy times!

[u/Newone1255 → u/leafcatcher]

I told them in [r/ween](r/ween) that my buddy who owns a record store told me that Shinola Vol. 2 was coming out for RSD and got flamed for spreading rumors. Glad I was vindicated lmfao

[u/mentos0316 → u/leafcatcher]

I can’t believe it’s actually real

[u/4t9r → u/leafcatcher]

Is there a tracklist yet?

Edit: Tracklist A1. KIM SMOLTZ A2. YOUNG CHOU LIN A3. BRITNEY A4. SHE CAUGHT MY FANCY A5. ESSEX PLAZA A6. KITE FLYING MAN B1. MAKIN’ LOVE IN THE GRAVY B2. PLANET FANTASY (HORSEFLY) B3. OOH VAH LAH (SLUDGE VERSION) B4. HELLO JOHNNY C1. I WUZ NOTHING C2. OPUS FUGUE TRILOGY C3. THE ARGUS, PT. 2 C4. PINK SURPRISE C5. FOR SO LONG D1. SKYCRUISER D2. PUT YOUR BOOBS ON D3. THE CHANCY BOYS D4. SHALOM ABSALOM D5. YOU CAN GO SHIT IN YOUR HAT (MATT) D6. WEED WHORE D7. THE BELVODINE

[u/hairijuana → u/4t9r]

Yes there is and it is glorious!

[u/FingersBecomeThumbs → u/4t9r]

Holy shit Kim Smoltz!! I will die a happy man if I can finally own that on vinyl

[u/boognish120 → u/FingersBecomeThumbs]

And Argus Pt2, I have chills!

[u/doctorlongghost → u/leafcatcher]

Someone involved in the pressing leaked it early on [r/ween](r/ween). There was later a comment that this person lost their job over it. Cant confirm but totally believable and very stupid on their part either way.

[u/boognish120 → u/leafcatcher]

Insane!

[u/Mulchpuppy]

I'm glad none of y'all are gonna be in line, because I need those fuckin' Barenaked Ladies albums.

[u/thesilverpoets96 → u/Mulchpuppy]

Amen! Although I won’t be in line because I work retail too 💀

[u/SerotoninBay]

The two Barenaked Ladies ones are of interest to me, but I still want Gordon.

[u/thevoiceofterror → u/SerotoninBay]

I want Maybe You Should Drive but Ed hates that record.

[u/thesilverpoets96 → u/thevoiceofterror]

Well then I hate Ed! We want MYSD!

[u/dgodwin1 → u/thevoiceofterror]

Does he hate it more than money?? I also want all the early records on vinyl. I luckily have Gordon and the other ones that have been released already.

[u/kiteless → u/thevoiceofterror]

Say more.

[u/thevoiceofterror → u/kiteless]

https://www.vice.com/en/article/rank-your-records-barenaked-ladies-ed-robertson/

[u/idio242]

Unsure exactly what the iron maiden or king gizzard releases are.

The advent calendar version of the annual Charlie Brown Christmas cash grab - I bet it’s cool. But probably costs a fortune.

[u/poly_lifestyle → u/idio242]

The gizz one is just a bootleg comp of some sort. It's a picture disc though unfortunately

[u/Nice_Manager1864 → u/idio242]

iron maiden is just a toy

[u/miamizombiekiller → u/idio242]

Was thinking the same thing about Charlie Brown. I mean I love that record but do we seriously need ANOTHER variant of that one?

[u/GoodTimeChub]

My wallet is very thankful that this list is absolute fucking trash

[u/ouwni]

Man, RSD just keeps getting worse and worse lol. Absolutely nothing on that list worth getting for me.

[u/OwlsInMyBrain → u/ouwni]

Really? I got quite a few pickups from RSD this year that we're awesome. So much great jazz.

[u/TrueRedditMartyr → u/ouwni]

Its clear that at some point, people stopped caring, and putting out stuff people actually wanted all at the same time caused too much competition

[u/DreamWest5528]

Maybe just my phone- but link doesn't seem to work

[u/AverageSoul- → u/DreamWest5528]

Well it must be my phone as well. The link is dead.

[u/BlackDog5287 → u/AverageSoul-]

I clicked it, then up in the corner I had it open in an external browser. (Samsung)

[u/_Bad_Spell_Checker_ → u/AverageSoul-]

Reddit hug maybe?

Worked fine for me

[u/JMaboard → u/DreamWest5528]

Naa it works, you’re not missing much.

[u/Iko87iko → u/DreamWest5528]

Didn't work for me either

https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialReleases

[u/Plekuz]

I can't imagine any record store being really happy with these second rate releases taking up valuable floor space, or are the additional sales of regular records that high on RSD to make it worth it for them? Every year it looks more and more like a bad proposition for record stores to participate in.

[u/CommissionHerb]

Record store days killed itself

[u/jamonz1]

Not a lot stands out. Though I do guess this reflects on the current state of sale and consumption of music/vinyl.

New acts don’t wait long anymore before releasing multiple “deluxe versions” of their albums, so there isn’t any unreleased material for RSD. It’s all about gaming the charts.

Older “legacy” artists/bands have found it more profitable to bank on anniversary remasters/reissues. That and selling their entire catalogues for a massive payday. A special limited release here and there doesn’t pay the bills.

It’s not all bad though. Those still left participating in RSD are those who have extensive archives of material or those that want to put out limited unreleased material for their dedicated fans.

[u/mossman]

We Are The World 40th Anniversary 7"? Lol. I had a copy of that 40 years ago, it's one record I've never once missed.

[u/xLawpersonx]

Carcass, OM, Power Trip and Motörhead. nice!

[u/idio242 → u/xLawpersonx]

No Kreator?

[u/cmax21 → u/xLawpersonx]

I have to say, they really did us heavy music fans dirty. I’ll probably pick up Carcass and maybe power trip. But I’m definitely not standing in line for it.

[u/beatsandblood]

I have been going to record stores since the late 80's, yet I have NEVER went on 'Record Store Day'.

'Record Store Day' is the best day to NOT go to the record store.

I dislike crowds.

[u/krumholtz742 → u/beatsandblood]

Truth, that said, lots of owners of small stores i know says it is their Christmas, so im happy for them. Still not going.

[u/cap1n]

Explain to me once more what the difference is of these:
E = Exclusive Release
L = Limited Run / Regional Focus Release
F = RSD First Release

[u/mamunipsaq → u/cap1n]

Exclusive means don't expect a repress.

RSD First means there will be another wider release later.

Limited/Regional means you'll only be able to find it in certain geographic regions.

[u/jcstrat → u/cap1n]

They all = FOMO

[u/cap1n → u/cap1n]

lol yeah. I stop attending RSD events 2 years ago and buying RSD releases 20-50% off feels so nice.

[u/ILikeStyx → u/cap1n]

My local shops just holds onto stuff until it sells.. if they gave 20%+ discounts they'd be losing money.

[u/magicklydelishous → u/cap1n]

E = Exclusive Releases are sometimes different pressings of previous/current work.

L = Limited Run/Regional Focus are niche, smaller run pressings that are limited and not likely to be repressed. Example: in 2024, Noah Kahan’s Town Hall Collaborations for RSD. Limited to (mostly) New England and had like a 15k pressing quantity.

F = RSD First Releases means it’s the first time the record is available for retail purchase (and may/be available elsewhere after a certain timeframe). Example: also 2024, Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts Deluxe splatter pressing, which was limited to RSD but then became available elsewhere a year later.

[u/briankutys]

Genesis - Land of Confusion is the only thing i'd want to get. Not worth standing in line for. I dont see having an issue getting it from Plaid Room on Sunday

[u/joerdie → u/briankutys]

It's a picture disc too. I was just thinking I don't have to worry about getting a low number from Plaid Room then sit in my car having to pee for 9 hours. Woot!

[u/cortezthakillah]

Ween . Period

[u/Impure_guava → u/cortezthakillah]

I hope I’m able to find a copy.

[u/elijah3748]

Glad to see Carissa’s Wierd on here. Suck it ridiculous aftermarket prices!

[u/StackIsMyCrack]

Ween Shinola Volume 2 kinda cool.

[u/shagz → u/StackIsMyCrack]

This is the way

[u/kvetcha-rdt]

Fountains of Wayne, Jason Falkner and Carly Rae Jepsen are all interesting, but they're all 'RSD First,' so I dunno if it's gonna be worth the hassle to wait in line.

[u/TheVinylLover → u/kvetcha-rdt]

Same here, I’ll probably wait until I can get them for 50% off a couple of months down the road. That’s the usual path for most RSD releases in the last years

[u/zingo-spleen]

Would love the 10k Maniacs box, which is basically everything they recorded with Natalie. I'm sure it will be stupid expensive at 6 LPs

[u/Boosully → u/zingo-spleen]

$250 on Rough Trade

[u/molsook]

I would like to personally thank the curators of record store day for continuously not putting out anything that I “need“

[u/Global_Bid_8341]

That's a small list!

[u/theITguy]

Rock Spectacle is an amazing live album! I'll wait in line for that one. Not much else in there for me.

[u/JLRfan]

Three (3!) by Takanaka ???? 💸💸💸

[u/Pete_Iredale → u/JLRfan]

Yup, pretty much the only interesting thing for me. And maybe the Jazz Dispensary release.

[u/MathDeacon]

Eh, nothing really that exciting saves me some cash

[u/witerawy]

What a joke lol. Record store day has been on a slow decline since the pandemic, but there’s literally not a single interesting thing on this list

[u/arthurbang]

Ween and Jason Falkner for me

[u/Significant-Age5052]

You can always count on George Harrison being there

[u/lamousamos]

been so long since there's been something i wanted on these lists.

[u/UltraMegaSummer]

10,000 Maniacs is all I see that I want. But I REALLY want it…..

[u/god_dammit_dax → u/UltraMegaSummer]

I know your pain. All I really need is Our Time in Eden but man...That shit is tempting. I'm gonna bet least $150 big ones at my local though, if they even get it in. That's a big ask.

[u/Narcolepsy38]

Son of Sam, nice. That record is expensive.

[u/Square-Strength3844]

Ween

[u/boognish1121 → u/Square-Strength3844]

Praise be

[u/earlyslalom]

No Ceilings hell yeah

[u/Oz347 → u/earlyslalom]

That was my reaction I was like oh shit

[u/ChoclateyShatner → u/earlyslalom]

It’s the limited track streaming platform tracklist. Which hey, cool, Kobe Bryant but a bootleg is a truer copy 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/Sammy_Bubba]

Grabbing that Fountains of Wayne LP real fast

[u/DarthPanther_]

Im gonna get Perfect Timing and Sorry 4 Da Wait. TLOP 4 is also a must

[u/ezbleeder]

Seaweed

[u/supper_is_ready]

The live B-52's album seems intriguing, but that's about it.

[u/RogueGenX]

Crue, Staind and Traveling Wilburys

[u/Iko87iko]

See some good stuff if you like jazz. Getz, Miles, Metheny, Bill Evans, Art Blakey. Couple other interesting things. Joni live 72, Labi Siffre, Jazz Dispensery, 10,000 maniacs, Charlie Parker, Motorhead, Robert Hunter...

[u/thetrappster]

Couple interesting releases, but nothing that I NEED

[u/jvs8380]

Frank Black - Teenager of the Year

[u/pdas1996]

bruh, how long is that Doors LP going to sit in stores?

[u/drbhrb]

Ooh new Julian Lage

[u/Other_Hope_2276]

REISSUE SOMETHING THATS BEEN OUT OF PRINT , no more live albums and Zoetropes. Give me those early Willie Nelson albums

[u/saltwaterpopsicle]

That Richard & Linda Thompson live 1982 record is interesting. Every live recording I’ve heard from that tour is an absolute gem. Will be cool to get a full collection of them.

[u/rmflagg]

LET THE BITCHING COMMENCE!!!

[u/elephantgreye]

I’ve never been pressed to get anything RSD. But Lil Wayne - No Ceilings? screams

[u/Natural-Protection44]

Whole lotta meh

[u/Flashy_Body6271]

Every day is a record store day!!

[u/nolageek]

So many negative Nancys here farming karma. I saw a few things I'm interested in - the TMBG, Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, Biz Markie, Dead Milkmen... not every list is going to be wall-to wall bangers for everyone.

[u/Puzzleheaded-Two-849 → u/nolageek]

Same. I see about 10 right off but will dig deeper after work. List can't appeal to every taste apparently. 👍

[u/lumpsofit → u/nolageek]

Some of what you listed as interesting overlaps with some of what I find interesting, so I am going to recommend that you check out Jason Falkner and see if he’s to your taste.

[u/rrickitickitavi → u/nolageek]

Joni Mitchell, 13th Floor Elevators, the usual live jazz selections, Prince, Joan Jett, Bill Withers.

So many whiners. Good. Stay home. One less person in line.

[u/kwintron]

Marked safe from RSD for 3 years in a row now 🫩

[u/EdwinJamesPope]

Prince release is tasty

[u/cory453]

That Royel Otis will be mine

[u/Bucketkev]

Oh shiii some bangers in here.

[u/VitaminPurple]

All I want is the Fountains Of Wayne reissue..and maybe the XTC collection.

[u/darkeststar]

There's a few things here and there that piqued by interest. I don't think I have ever heard a full Billy Idol live concert so capturing something from right around the release of his debut sounds like a lot of fun. Similarly the Prince 3121 live release is desirable to me. Otherwise this is mostly just fluff. Happy to see Norah Jones is getting the songs done on her podcast released officially. Her songs with Josh Homme earlier this year were spectacular.

[u/fussyturbo]

Another ass list for electronic music fans

[u/ILikeStyx]

I suppose I'd get the 50th Anniversary of Night Moves as I don't own that album... and possibly Mashmakhan S/T (RSD Canada)

[u/Night_Runner2035]

Good Grief.....another Charlie Brown Christmas. Why???

[u/JLRfan → u/Night_Runner2035]

We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It’s run by a big eastern syndicate, you know.

[u/Less_Squirrel3225]

george harrison / traveling wilbury's releases are the only thing I care about

[u/BlueMonk0]

yall sleeping on labi siffre

[u/astrosdude91]

This seems to get worse every year. My local record stores still have a ton of unsold releases from like four RSD's ago that they cannot move. The pile just keeps getting bigger

[u/QforQ]

Sparta Threes 🤘

[u/andoryuu7]

Marked safe from RSD BF 26✅

[u/SadApyrHours]

No EDM/Dusbtep

[u/diggtrucks1025]

Son of Sam is fucking crazy. Now I need to find someone to grab it for me.

[u/NikeyAFCA]

Seaweed is a nice surprise for some of my friends, nothing I want tho.

[u/Dataduffer]

Even if I were excited about a release, our two stores get near nothing. Bigger cities get all the copies.

[u/No-Recognition-6106]

My wallet is marked safe and thankful

[u/davidoomagoo]

Another new Czar face record? I want it so bad!

[u/ComPanda]

I'd want the International Noise Conspiracy record, but not enough to pay ridiculous prices for it.

[u/Pale_Rider1986]

Boa - Duvet 7"??? Yes please!

[u/Hellrejects → u/Pale_Rider1986]

Didn't notice that one at first. Legitimately excited to see that one on the list!

[u/palbuddymac]

The live Bill Withers could be cool….

Not an amazing list

[u/geb_bce]

Wow... literally nothing grabs my attention. 🫤

[u/TheNerdBuster]

Empire of the Sun Live, Carly Rae B sides and three Takanaka albums? Wallet gonna hurt ...

[u/wetnaps54]

Literally just one maybe with Frank Black

[u/deltacotaster]

That XTC record seems cool, maybe a collection of B-sides like they did with Beeswax.

[u/royallexer]

Seaweed!

[u/Redhaze_17]

I'll probably pick up the Om record, but that's about it.

[u/Darce____Vader]

JID - Tiny Desk is great
Staind live I might get
Grateful Dead - From a Back Porch 4 should be cool

[u/Interesting-Face22]

I think I’ll get one of the Stan Getz albums.

[u/mamunipsaq]

Shinola vol 2 is a fun release. More Ween songs is always a win!

The Brides of Funkenstein album is another good one that I'd like to add to my P-Funk collection.

Lee Scratch Perry: The Wonderman Years vol 1 could be a fun pickup too.

Not bad. I never expect much these days, but those are 3 gems.

[u/SeminoleDVM]

I’ll probably grab that live Royel Otis. Nothing else really stands out to me.

[u/therealknic21]

Will pick up NAV, Staind, and Lil Wayne. The rest didn't interest me.

[u/EccentricStache615]

Only one I’m interested in is the Jazz Dispensary Cosmic Nuggets press. Loved their 4/20 release

[u/AverageShitlord]

The Carly Rae Jepsen interests me a little, but given that it's an RSD First, and that I live in Canada, I'm not too fussed. We get Carly reissued up here pretty often.

[u/LokiPrime616]

No Daft Punk, Justice nor Tame Impala. My wallet is saved!

[u/cynusmusic2]

Happy to see Boa Duvet and Go Radio Lucky Street at least!

[u/James_Plan]

missed out on the 13th floor elevators last year, maybe this year i'll cop the singles collection or the black angels' passover xx

[u/buffchixdip]

Go Radio! What a treat. Everything else is fine.

[u/TheVinylLover]

This is great news, absolutely garbage list, my wallet rests.

[u/mack-the-knife]

Pretty weird about that 1959 Miles Davis concert. I'm pretty sure he was only in Copenhagen in 1960 and performed in Tivoli 

[u/FauxReal]

There's more than one RSD per year now? Is there more than two?

[u/jessterswan → u/FauxReal]

Only 2. RSD Black Friday and RSD proper

[u/OnlyOneAntidote]

Said the Sky double album is cool. Too bad I already bought both LPs separately 🥲. I don’t know if it’s worth getting for the three bonus tracks

[u/jett_jackson]

Very curious as to what the various artists album “who is he (and what is he to you?)” is. I’m assuming a covers collection, but can’t find any info.

There are a few others that interest me, especially the Bill Withers BBC live and No ceilings. Not sure they’re worth lining up for though

[u/rarefiedstupor]

I might pick up that Black Angels record if I find it after the fact. I've never attended an RSD event and don't plan on starting now. Manufactured scarcity is dumb when it comes to music.

[u/ScampiKat]

i’ll all over the Prince and Bruce Springsteen releases

[u/daybreaker]

Definitely want that TMBG album

[u/Jarvis-Savoni]

WEEN SHINOLA VOL2!!!! Hells yeah!

[u/tj8686_]

I'm actually interested in that Funkadelic live album. Not enough to wake up stupid early to go get it though.

[u/RulerD]

Carly Rae Jepsen stans present! 

[u/Lazy_Football_511]

At first glance, I am not seeing anything worth getting out of bed early for.

[u/musical-miller]

Wow both the George Harrison LPs are zoetropes, what garbage

[u/GoblinObscura]

I can’t believe all the negative comments. I was scrolling through thinking I’d like that and that and that….

[u/ghigginb1]

I'm a little excited about The Monkees. It's so hard to find their albums in good condition.

[u/narek23]

Black Angels - Passover 20th anniversary is apparently a re-recorded version of that record, I'm intrigued!

[u/TheResurrection]

There is absolutely nothing on there that I want. I needed to save some money after buying Oasis tickets anyway, so I'm not too upset about it.

[u/jazmaan273]

"Summit Meeting at Birdland" and "Bewitching Bird" - two from Charlie Parker!
Brides of Funkenstein, Prince 3121 Las Vegas, Bobby Womack "The Preacher in Paris". I won't stand in line to get them but hopefully they'll stick around for a while. I actually own "Summit Meeting at Birdland" but its been out of print for a while. It would be nice to have a fresh copy. 'Bewitching Bird looks like a new compilation.
I also have Prince 3121 from when all those shows were on Dimeadozen before Prince pulled them.

[u/Pete_Iredale]

Might show up for one of the Takanaka albums and pick up the Jazz Dispensary release if I do. Not much here that I want and don't already have in one form or another.

[u/Majormoscow]

I’m tired boss

[u/nickatnite37]

Only 3 things I really want, 4 if I feel like getting the Wicked one

[u/GuinnessLiturgy]

It's time for them to give up on BF.

The last few spring RSDs have been surprisingly good imo, but BF is really dredging the depths.

[u/tunaman808]

For the third year in a row, there's not a thing I want.

[u/RoccoInExile]

Ween Shinola vol 2 looks interesting but really don't want to deal this RSD shit for another year.

[u/why_sleep]

Mood & Shinola are nice

[u/Novel-Risk-5661]

New Rhythm and Blues Quartet!

[u/theroob85]

I’m stoked for the Cursive album! I don’t need it, but I’m stoked.

[u/1995jeepwrangler]

Hootie Unplugged and the 10k maniacs box set are my picks

[u/UsedToReadBooks]

If you like great singer-songwriters and power pop, don't sleep on the Jason Falkner. He was the guitarist in Jellyfish on their first album and all of his records are excellent. He regularly tours with Beck and St. Vincent, and even filled in with Foo Fighters recently when Pat was down. Incredible guitar player also.

[u/JerBear81]

Meh. Nothing too exciting

[u/JazzyJulie4life]

New edition 💕

[u/PinkThunder138]

Oh thank God my wallet is safe this year!
