Thanks to all for a great RSD. We hope that most that waited in the long line were able to get something you wanted from your wishlist - we're sorry that fills were so slim for some of the desirable titles. A special thanks, also, to our regulars who make sure we stay afloat all year round!

We have some remaining RSD titles now available for in-store pickup or order. More info about ordering can be found at http://recordcollector.co/index.php/2026/04/19/rsdleftovers26/ or you can check our inventory list to check if the title your looking for is still available (http://bit.ly/RCstock). Links to leftovers list and order form in bio.

Ready to go for Record Store Day 2026! A few featured titles on the wall and other LPs alphabetical by artist last name (or compilation title) in the center back (one full side with A-O and 2 rows in the backside with P-Z, which may be rearranged later in the day on Saturday). 7-inches are now near the door, boxed, in the front of the modern 7-inch section. CDs are in front by the 2nd register. Full list of received titles can be found on our website at http://recordcollector.co/index.php/2026/04/17/rsd2026list/ (or by clicking Record Store Day 2026 in the link in our bio).

Remember that there are NO PREORDERS on RSD items. Any online orders received for these items tonight or tomorrow will be deleted and ignored. All customers are also limited to one copy of each exclusive title on RSD. Open 10-7 (regular Saturday hours).

We are giving away tons of silly goodies throughout the day - plus we have a roll-to-win game that offers the chance to get an LP from a set of pulled titles or a $10 gift certificate. 50 winners will have something extra to take home.

Remaining RSD exclusives will be listed for sale on Sunday morning - orders can be placed once they are in the online inventory list. Follow our website Updates for more info.
