Usually, Record Store Day (my favorite holiday) is in April and then again for Black Friday. But this is 2020... The Indy 500 is in August and the Kentucky Derby is in September, so it makes perfect sense for Record Store Day to be on August 29th!
This will actually be the first of 3 monthly Record Store Day drops, each being a smaller scale to help with crowds of people. It's just not wise to cram music lovers into tiny independent record stores during a pandemic. I get it.
There are plenty of special releases planned for each drop. Check out each month's offerings here.
Not sure ordering online has the same excitement as fighting someone about to riffle through the vinyl to get the one copy of Billie Eilish Live at Third Man Records, but it's 2020... what are you gonna do.
