The Best Record Store Day Releases for 2024
Record Store Day is April 20th, 2024, and the full list of exciting releases is already out.
With that said, here are some of the best releases that are coming to a record store near you.
1) Little Joe Sure Can Sing! By Joe Pesci
Did you know that Joe Pesci was a musical artist? In fact, he released his very first album back in 1968.
Oh yes. THAT Joe Pesci.
Well, if that’s breaking news to you, then you might want to check out “Little Joe Sure Can Sing!” on Record Store Day. It’ll come on clear vinyl with an orange swirl.
2) Live at the Blue Note – Chicago by Nat King Cole
You can’t go wrong with Nat King Cole, who arguably had the greatest singing voice of all time. Now, you can relive this amazing night in Chicago with this two LP record release on Record Store Day.
3) Nature of a Sista’ by Queen Latifah
Go back to the day when Queen Latifah was spitting bars rather than putting criminals behind bars (on CBS’ “The Equalizer”). This album will come in 140 gram black vinyl.
4) Live at SoFi Stadium by The Weeknd
The Weeknd is always going to deliver a good stage show, and here, you can relive his SOFi Stadium performance with this record release. This will be a triple LP release and come in a gatefold sleeve with semi-gloss finish.
Record Store Day Participating Stores
You can find all of the Record Store Day participating stores on the official RSD website. With that said, they typically range from being chain stores like Bull Moose or Newbury Comics to small independent record shops.
What’s the Difference Between RSD Exclusives and RSD First?
This may seem confusing on the surface, but trust me, it’s quite simple. Record Store Day Exclusives are going to be vinyl records that independent record stores will be physically selling in their shops.
Record Store Day First means that these vinyl records are going to be found first at indie record shops, but may eventually find their way to other retailers in the near future.
