Record Store Day Postponed Until June 20th, 2020

Michael Fremer  |  Mar 13, 2020

For obvious reasons, RSD 2020 scheduled for April 18th has been postponed until June 20th.

These next few stay at home weeks give everyone a chance to catch up and listen to every album bought but not listened to since forever.... lol

unfortunately i’ll have to wait a lot longer for that “cherry bomb” vinyl but i can stream the legendary new jay electronica album in these 3 months. also in the meantime, i’ll continue ordering records online or go shopping with a face mask (if the stores even stay open... probably not).

yes, this is immensely disappointing but i’d rather not risk killing a fellow collector if i happen to spread the virus.

RSD being delayed is not terrible or even inconvenient news to me. While I am a hardcore vinyl person, they never have anything I want on RSD. I know RSD is about supporting your local record store, which I agree with of course, but I show that support on several other regular days in the year. I'm an original pressing guy, just not interested in modern re-pressings.

Well, it looks like everybody will need to re-think RSD now.

On November 19th of last year I found absolutely no Warner Brothers Group vinyl in any St. Louis record store-they just didn't get there. I later learned it was a national problem. Sure hope they got their act together since then! It was apparently due to a change in distribution to a company called Direct Shot.This Pitchfork article has the scoop:
