Record Store Day comes once a year, and for many collectors it is like Christmas. The number of releases available on the third Saturday of April grows each year, creating the thrill of a chase for those after the most limited titles and a chance to celebrate peoples love of vinyl.
While many of the titles are gone within minutes of going on sale, we do see a number of releases from years gone by here at eil.com. If there was something you missed out on over the years, it is worth browsing our Record Store Day stock as we may have what you are looking for. Not to mention that it isn’t out of the ordinary for us to acquire the occasional test pressing of RSD titles, which make for an extra special collectable.
Below are just a few of the highlights we have have in stock now.
