It's back for another year in over 200 independent record stores across the UK on Saturday, 13th April. The release list for this year is being unveiled next Thursday, 28th February. Quite a few launch events for it are taking place - one of my local stores, Intense in Chelmsford are holding a free launch party from 5pm next Thursday.
Do any other Buzzjackers partake in Record Store Day? If so, how many years have you been doing it, and what are you hoping to find on the release list this year?
I've been doing it for the last two years now. In 2017 I got the pink 7" of 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua, last year I got Niall Horan's 'Mirrors' 10" EP and the clear vinyl of Elton John vs Pnau's 'Good Morning To The Night' album.
I always enjoy the element of surprise that comes with Record Store Day, so I look forward to seeing who'll be on the list this year. Maybe some 20th anniversary releases for some 1999 albums/singles?
I'm super excited for Record Store Day as ever and I also started taking part in 2017! My hauls were as follows:
2017
- The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star (picture disc)
- Little Mix - Glory Days (neon pink vinyl)
- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - El Mexicano (picture disc)
- Ryo Kawasaki - Selected Works Part 2 - 1976 - 1980
2018
- Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now (CamelPhat Remix)
- Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea & David Fleming - Blue Planet II soundtrack (blue vinyl)
- Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks (blue vinyl)
- Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - It's A Beautiful World (monochrome vinyl) - my brother ended up buying this off me though
- Sigrid - Don't Kill My Vibe EP (red vinyl)
I hope there are some 20th edition 1999 releases, Alex! Particularly dance 7" ones as it was a very strong year for the genre.
I'm still at myself for paying over the odds for the Little Mix Glory Days vinyl on eBay (I think I paid about £35), thinking it was some one-day highly limited RSD exclusive, only for it to wind up on Amazon within weeks and retail for as low as £8.99 at one point in time :')
RSD rarely caters to my tastes tbh I got Miguel's War & Leisure vinyl last year though!
I would but I don't have a local record store. Nearest in HMV in Cardiff which is about 25 miles from me.
Problem is you can often get the stuff after record store day now so the rush to get something from a record store has gone.
I got Tori Amos Y kant tori read from my boyfriend for xmas last year off Amazon after it was released In 2017, which kind of defeats the point of supporting local record stores.
Mess I meant 12” ignore me I’m currently sleep deprived

I've got my eye on Robyn and Bananarama. Possibly The Mighty Boosh 3LP set as well.
I’ll post my wishlist later as I’m on a phone and it’s fairly long but I’m shook at ‘Baby Shark’ by Pinkfong being amongst the releases *.*

Fun Fact: I actually have a promo CD of The Lemonheads' Can't Forget
Oh my, Robyn is releasing a white Body Talk vinyl! Literally nothing else is important.
Julien Baker - Red door <3
I find record store day a bit stressful tbh. One because there are so many releases and two because stores sometimes get 1-2 copies, I’ve had better luck getting releases a week later when they are allowed to sell left over stock online or via Amazon for half the original price months later!
My favourite releases are by Kylie (Golden Boy 7’ etched disc and All The Lovers/Los Amores 7’).
I’m going after Sam Fender’s ‘Play God’ 7’ this year although I won’t be too bothered if I can’t track it down as his independently released version of it is superior tbh (One sided white vinyl 7’) which I already have.
