Record Store Day! It's that time again where music lovers and vinyl flippers get together at their favorite physical music retailers and wait in line to snag some treasured albums - almost all of which are pressed on vinyl instead of CD (or, you know, sold on secondary marketplaces for above their retail value). It's certainly easy to be cynical about this stuff, but the crux of the idea still lives: find some music that moves you, something from an old favorite you've maybe never heard
The Record Store Day list is out, and the announcements are pouring in! This year, Legacy Recordings will mark the April 22, 2023 event at independent record stores everywhere with more than a dozen titles from many of the biggest names in classic pop, rock, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, country, and beyond. (One release, from Pearl Jam, will see a CD release in addition to the expected vinyl.) You'll find the entire list below, with descriptions provided by the label. Visit RecordStoreDay.com
