Record Store Day (aka RSD) returns this Saturday, April 23, and, as per tradition, enough titles of quality and distinction will hit the bins to nullify the chronic complaints about this retail booster shot (non-essential major-label reissues clog the pressing plants, egregiously delaying indie-label jobs; obnoxious flippers scoop the most coveted releases without even listening to them only to sell them at over-inflated prices; gimmicky vinyl picture discs ahoy!; yadda yadda).
Because I always try to accentuate the positive [cough], I present here 10 releases that you should check out and, if able, purchase. To be sure, there are more than that deserving of your precious disposable income and time, but you aren’t made out of money and I don’t have all day here. RSD adds this disclaimer: “The List of titles may change. Titles may be added, titles may drop off, information may be amended.” Without further ado and in no particular order…
