Record Store Day’s is now enjoying massive success in both the US and UK. Part of the reason is a huge list of RSD exclusives.
Many bands are hoping to cash in on ever-growing record vinyl sales. First founded in 2007, this year marks the 10th anniversary of Record Store Day (RSD). This day celebrates “the culture of the independently-owned record store,” with LPs spurring a revival of a once-moribund sector.
Over 500 artists have joined this year’s Record Store Day, scheduled for April 22nd. St. Vincent will hold the title for Record Store Day Ambassador. In 2009, Eagles of Death Metal’s Jesse Hughes created the title.
In a statement, St. Vincent said, “It is with deep honor and humility that I accept this ambassadorship. Rest assured I do not take my duties lightly.”
“Being the Ambassador of Record Store Day is meant to be fun and a little silly,” RSD co-founder Carrie Colliton proudly proclaimed. “And I think it’s fantastic that we’re celebrating this year with a woman who can be both those things while being a respected musician and record store regular as well.
“It’s a damn good fit.”
You can find the complete RSD 2017 list below in three categories. Please note that not all shops will have all of these releases! Some are limited-run, or limited to specific stores. So, please check ahead if you are hunting for a specific title.

What I get excited about is “The Audio Music Cassette Day”..
Beautifully presented and packaged audio cassettes with great artwork,
printed inserts and bonus extras..
Great for fans who want a physical artifact collection, trade-able, swap-able, sell-able objects that can be made in small numbers and distributed through the postal system and indi music stores..

Cassette Store Day
Cassette Store Day is an international, annual observance intended to recognise the value of Compact Cassettes as a music format. Cassette Store Day was first held in 2013. The celebration was inspired by Record Store Day, which acknowledges the importance of record stores and the vinyl music format.
Cassette Store Day was conceived by a group of record labels based in the UK. In a blog post for NME, BBC Radio 1 DJ Jen Long explained that she collaborated with Steven Rose of Sexbeat Records and Matt Flag of Suplex Cassettes to establish the observance. According to Long, although Cassette Store Day was inspired by Record Store Day, the intention of Cassette Store Day is focused on celebrating cassettes rather than supporting shops—whereas the latter is the main goal of RSD. The first Cassette Store Day was observed on 7 September 2013. More than twenty-eight shops, including Rough Trade in London, participated by stocking special limited-edition cassettes. Some stores also hosted live performances.
Cassette Store Day 2013 releases were led by the labels Sexbeat, Kissability, and Suplex Cassettes. New releases for Cassette Store Day 2013 included albums by Fucked Up and Fair Ohs, as well as cassettes reissues of material by artists including The Flaming Lips, At the Drive-In, and Haim. Despite a major decline in popularity after the introduction of compact discs, cassette sales are slowly increasing along with sales of other analogue formats.
In June 2014, Cassette Store Day confirmed that the observance would continue into a second year. Despite continually unsteady cassette sales in recent years, founder Steve Rose expressed confidence in the cassette tape’s “currentness” in the “DIY and underground scenes due to its affordability and ease”.
By 2016, shops in the US and UK were joined by participants in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, France, and Japan.
Reception
Cassette Store Day aims to repopularize Compact Cassettes.
Founder Steve Rose did not anticipate resounding success for Cassette Store Day. However, he has predicted that the inexpensive and easy manufacturing of cassettes will help to steadily encourage their reintroduction. On the other hand, Bobby Owsinski wrote in Forbes that cassettes were too dilapidated to see the same resurgence as vinyl records.
Writing for Washington City Paper, Sean Gray expressed reservations about Cassette Store Day and Record Store Day. Gray observes that as cassettes and records become more popular, prices may rise to exorbitant rates, making it difficult for collectors to enjoy the formats. Emma Garland of The Four Oh Five stated that while Record Store Day may overshadow small labels and artists, Cassette Store Day gives small labels better access to the celebration of analogue formats.
Quote from Wiki
Hey it’s me again.. I just had a whacky idea..
The Audio Download Day..
Yes I know they’re largely invisible pieces of data.. but iTunes tracks do come with
artwork that you can view on your phone or other gadget and it is a threatened species .. much like vinyl and the cassette.. so it fits into a yesterday music format..
in today’s world of Internet streaming domination.
OK it would be tough selling a download for more that what they go for in the iTunes Store .. but it still could be a fun thang…
Half the fun is the social and sharing nature of these events..
The point of Record Store Day and Cassette Store Day was to promote the smaller record stores, who had been struggling to compete with the digital stores/services. Apple doesn’t need it’s own day.
