The Second Disc’s Guide to Record Store Day 2025: Our Favorite Picks

April 11, 2025 by The Second Disc | 1 Comment

Tomorrow, Record Store Day is once again upon us! It’s that time of year 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). This year, the list tops out at over 300 titles, so there’s very nearly something for everybody. It wasn’t easy to narrow our choices down to around 20 titles, but here…

The Record Store Day round-up marches on! After covering in detail the vinyl offerings from Universal Music Group, Legacy Recordings, Rhino Records, BMG, Craft Recordings, Real Gone Music, Omnivore and U.K. labels Cooking Vinyl and Demon Music Group, we’ve still got a few things to highlight…notably, the work of labels who are serving one of Record Store Day’s least-served fans.

Holiday Gift Guide Review: Vince Guaraldi, ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas (Super Deluxe Edition)’

December 23, 2022 by Mike Duquette | 4 Comments

If you’ve followed catalogue releases for long enough, you know some titles just do so well that you don’t necessarily have to go out of your way to get people – especially new fans – to buy a new version of a classic album. Buyers – especially vinyl buyers – will always come of age and need copies of Rumours or Dark Side of the Moon in their libraries. It’s this sort of thinking – perhaps a rebellion against the commercialism of reissue practices – that often gets us most interested not…

It’s a New Release, Charlie Brown! “Great Pumpkin” Arrives on CD, LP From Original Session Masters

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! The Emmy-nominated 1966 television special was the third overall for Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts series and the second to be holiday-themed, after A Charlie Brown Christmas. Upon its October 27, 1966 premiere, it earned a whopping 49 share in the ratings and was so successful that CBS re-aired it every year through 2000, with ABC picking up the tradition after that. Yet despite a beloved score by Vince Guaraldi (who else?), a soundtrack album to Great Pumpkin was never released in any audio format until 2018. …
