Every Question You Have About Record Store Day 2015 Answered

FUSE TV - Every Question You Have About Record Store Day 2015 Answered

So, when is it?

This year, Record Store Day is April 18. Every year, RSD is held on the third Saturday of April to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store.

How can I find a participating store by me? 

Use Record Store Day's search bar that can look up record joints by state, city or zip code.

What constitutes as a "record store" nowadays? Does Best Buy or Urban Outfitters count?

Here's how the official Record Store website considers a legitimate store:

A stand alone brick and mortar retailer whose main primary business focuses on a physical store location, whose product line consists of at least 50% music retail, whose company is not publicly traded and whose ownership is at least 70% located in the state of operation.

So that means Best Buy, Urban Outfitters, Target, Whole Foods or whatever other of your favorite department stores now hawking vinyl discs are not included here. We're talking about your small-town, little American indie stores. No corporate giants and definitely no online retailers (sorry, Amazon). 

What are some of the big releases this year?

There are lots of exclusive releases that come out every year on Record Store Day with this year being no exception. Some of the most exciting exclusives this year include:

  • The White Stripes will issue Get Behind Me Satan as a two-disc LP
  • Grateful Dead will issue Wake Up to Find Out as five-disc LP
  • Johnny Cash will reissue Koncert V Praze (In Prague-Live) on a red vinyl disc
  • Garbage will reissue The Chemicals on a fluorescent orange 10" vinyl disc
  • A$AP Rocky will issue LPFJ2 on a 7" colored vinyl disc
  • Slayer will issue When the Stillness Comes with a 7" picture vinyl disc
  • MC Lyte will release her Legend album on vinyl and have it only be available for RSD 2015

Check out the full, exhaustive list of 2015 releases and exclusives right here.
