Five Anticipated Releases to Look for on June 18 RSD Drop

Posted on June 15, 2022 by Jeremy Bonfiglio

Music fans can rejoice. Record Store Day‘s June 18 drop date is almost upon us. This Saturday date is a follow-up to the main event, which took place on April 23, bringing out the rest of the releases originally slated for April that didn’t make the shelves because of manufacturing delays.
