About Record Store Day 2021 Drop Dates

As an independent record store we’re proud to be a participating Record Store Day (RSD) shop.  However, once again Covid has forced a change to Record Store Day.

This year there isn’t a dedicated RSD. Instead there will be two “Drop Dates” in 2021—Saturday, June 12 and Saturday, July 17. Click here for the list of special releases.

Things are improving but in this continued “unprecedented global situation”, where production and shipping is still in a state of struggle, the focus of these two Drops dates is on bringing revenue to the stores– as well as to the artists, labels, distribution and every other business behind the scenes making record stores work, in a fiscally and socially responsible way. The spread of titles over two dates in two months allows some flexibility for the struggling vinyl pressing plants and distribution companies as well as provide stores time to prepare budgets and place the orders that safely get music into the hands of customers on a larger than normal release day.

The titles on the RSD 2021 Official List will be released at participating record stores on one of these RSD Drop dates: June 12 and July 17.  There is one List, with titles broken out for each date. You can choose to view the List on the Record Store Day website, with added detail and artwork, or you can view and print out a PDF that can be used as a Wish List or shopping guide.
