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.

But that doesn't exactly highlight my earlier point? They are making it more inclusive. I'm reminded of the first year I did it and Aqua 'Barbie Girl' on a bright pink vinyl was on the release list. You wouldn't have got that when it first started 12 years ago.

 

For that same reason am slightly tempted by the Ace of Base picture disc this year!

 

Yes I love that more mainstream acts are getting involved - we’ve had Kylie and Spice Girls in recent years with Bananarama etc., this year.

How the heck do you manage to play these seven foot discs? In fact, how do you even get them home? :lol:

There’s never been a Spice Girls release for RSD!

There really isnt a market for this, there wasn't when they were active.

I mean it’s a platinum album, and if Bamnanarama can release a bunch of their duo albums that weren’t very successful for WRSD, I think there is a market tbh.
