RSD 2026 Was it just me….???
It might just be me, but Record Store Day 2026 felt noticeably underwhelming this year. None of the releases really stood out or gave me that “must-have” feeling, but out of tradition, I still showed up. What made it worse, though, was the atmosphere in line. I saw some of the most frustrating behavior I’ve ever experienced at RSD. People dropping off chairs at midnight to hold their spot, disappearing for hours, then coming back right before opening like nothing happened. At one point, someone even moved another person’s chair, which sparked a whole scene. There may not be official rules around that kind of thing, but it definitely added to an already disappointing experience and honestly, that was just a small part of everything that went wrong this year. What were your experiences this year?

This is probably the worst one I’ve seen so far… Scalpers are ridiculous.

Caramel RSD Question
Has anyone successfully found the fill hole to this record?? I've read from multiple places that it should be stored with the hole facing 12 o'clock and to give it a spin every few days so the liquid doesn't solidify. I have no problem giving it a spin, but my issue is trying to find the fill hole??
Whichever pressing plant made this record did a good job at hiding it, and I'm not sure if mine is unique or not but my center labels are both lined up perfectly, with both titles being centered and parallel to each other, so l'm assuming that if other copies are like that too, then the hole should be aligned with the titles of the tracks underneath the label? I really don't know so any insight would help!!

Defective Selena Gomez RSD Vinyl
My copy of the Selena Gomez RSD record is defective. It seems as if the water droplet effect was printed on the wrong side of my copy and it affects playback significantly. I can tell that It’s not a scratch because the needle makes a lot scratching sound at each individual printed raindrop on the record. It was the last copy at the store I purchased it at, so I know it’s not going to be able to be replaced there. I’m not sure who to reach out to- I haven’t seen this issue affecting anyone else’s copy yet.

Got Pink Floyd live at los angels cd (wanted the vinyl but didn’t grab it). Labi Siffre repress. Stone Temple Pilots live at Rolling Rock. And Mooney Suzuki’s debut album. Thanks to Plaid Room Records. Seasick Records. And 1234Go Records. Yesterday i grabbed Jeff Buckley Live at Olympia on eBay, which i regret, but it was only like $7 over retal.

Waited two and a half hours in line for record store Day and left empty-handed.
Ok, I did get a 7' for a friend, but that's it. Not a single record on my wish list was available by the time I got inside. Not sure if I ever want to do this again.

Surprised I haven’t seen more people talking about this release!
The Sinister OST by Christopher Young was finally released on vinyl for this RSD, it was listed as a regional release. I saw some places say it’s limited to 500 copies, others say 1,000 so I’m not sure which is accurate.
The white insert you see above was marketed as a cover and I had no idea that it’s actually a false cover until I took the shrink wrap off and saw the real one. I’m not sure if it’s one I can post or if it would break community guidelines.
These are hand poured and it’s hard to pick up just how cool looking they are, but it fits the feel of the movie so well. Was not surprised at all to find out that Graveface/Terror Vision was involved in this release!
Anyway, super happy to add this one to my collection!

Record Store Day - Online Haul
So I had a bust of.a day yesterday. Hit Plaid Room Records website and got the three titles I wanted.
The Cars - Heartbeat City Live
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Live
Van Halen Live at New Haven
I just now have to wait until likely June to get it.
Which while frustrating still means I was able to avoid resellers, who are the scum of the earth.

To all the scalpers who participated just for the resale value…
Genuinely fuck you and the table you spin on. (If you even have anything to spin on)

How did it work at your local store?
This was my first time going to RSD at my local shop. We were 50th in line, we were handed numbers an hour before doors opened. I didn't really know what to expect, but I did think there would be some sort of order. I was surprised to discover that once the doors opened and people were inside, it was a chaotic disaster. There were 6 small boxes of exclusive releases placed around the store marked with balloons. The records in these boxes were in random order. People were rushing and pushing and being generally rude. We left empty handed as all of the boxes were picked clean of the releases we were looking for. I knew there was a solid chance we would walk away with nothing but I didn't realize how cut throat it would be. I just hope the people who bought the records actually wanted them, and weren't just trying to flip them for a profit.
