Record Store Day 2015: The Long List of Exclusives So Far
Record Store Day has become the source of controversy in the last year or two, but the annual celebration of brick-and-mortar stores and all things vinyl is pressing ahead with what promises to be yet another massive year with a ton of exclusive releases.
Lots of releases are already rumoured to be arriving for Record Store Day’s event on April 18, proving that bands and labels aren’t being discouraged by the inability of vinyl factories to keep up with the quickly growing demand.
As always, this year’s event will bring with it lots of exciting-looking exclusives, archival reissues and intriguing rarities. On the other hand, we can already see a few records that have us scratching our heads and bemoaning these ill-advised attempts to cash in on a trend.
For all of the good and bad of this year’s Record Store Day, check out the hefty list of exclusives below, but note that at this point the official list of exclusives has yet to be announced, so take this all with a grain of salt. As always, we’ll continue to update the list in the lead-up to the big day.
And a big thanks to Wax Poetic for pointing out many of these. Without the site’s tireless efforts, this list would not have been possible.
