For over a year, folks who rely on music to enrich and sustain their life have seen their "normal" change dramatically due to COVID-19. As the effects of pandemic continue to ripple through every part of the industry, the Record Store Day organization has announced that rather than hold one event this year, there will be two RSD Drops, set to take place on June 12 and July 17 at participating stores worldwide. It has been decided that this is the best move for customer safety and for the
Today's Black Friday shopping will likely look a little different thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. But one thing will remain the same: Record Store Day's yearly event. It's been a packed year with RSD Drops in the months of August, September, and October. Now, they're going out with a bang. Labels big and small will release limited-edition vinyl with the collector in mind. Whether you're after new music from legends, reissues of sought-after recordings, or unreleased rarities from the vault,
Like most things that have gone on this year, Record Store Day 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride. The result: three days of Record Store Drops. This Saturday, October 24, music fans will be joining the queue - whether in-person if it's safe to do so or online - for their chance at some limited-edition vinyl. Ahead of the event itself, we thought we'd break down what you can expect and detail some of the releases for which we're most excited. The main change from years past? Shorter lines and

Tomorrow marks Record Store Day Drop 2. Recently, RSD U.K. announced 23 additions to their drop lists for September and October. While we know for sure that The Rolling Stones' upcoming Steel Wheels Live 10" picture disc will be a worldwide release, it's unclear at the time of writing whether all of the other releases will be distributed across the pond. Still, with so many retailers taking their business online given the COVID-19 pandemic, it's altogether possible that customers in the
With the nation still fighting COVID-19, Record Store Day here in the U.S. looks a little - make that a lot - different this year.

As the COVID 19 outbreak continues to impact our lives, it's heartening to know that some things are returning to some semblance of "normal," or as close as we can get to it during this unpredictable impasse.

That's not the only thing changing this time around. It's been reported by Georgia-based shop Comeback Vinyl that the organization is
It's now been confirmed that Record Store Day is going to look a lot different this year. The June 20, 2020 date - itself a replacement for the original April 18 event - has been cancelled due to the ongoing store closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the titles originally slated for Record Store Day will be divided up for three "Record Store Day Drops" currently planned to take place one Saturday per month in August, September, and October. These "properly distanced"
As the music world continues to feel the ramifications of the global COVID-19 pandemic, it's been announced that Record Store Day 2020 will be postponed to June 20th.
