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.

As has been widely reported, the growth of new vinyl releases has put a strain on existing pressing plants, causing delays on pre-orders and pushing back independent releases for months. This year, even Record Store Day was not immune.

Of course, the good news for both collectors and independent businesses is June 18 marks another chance to celebrate record stores with a batch of exclusive, limited, and first-release titles on vinyl and CD. Be sure to check the list before you hit up your favorite store.

In the meantime, here are five of the most anticipated music releases to look for on Saturday.

In our single use throwaway society, it is a breath of hope to see recordings in their colorful artful dust covers that can be saved to enjoy again and again.
