Record Store Day is this Saturday, April 22nd, that time of the year that we think deserves to be treated as a national Holiday. Let’s face it, there is a bit of a masochist behavior behind staying in long lines for hours under the rain, the sun, or the wind (depending on what state you are) to get the releases we want, but the reward is so much better!

There is a tradition of great releases and rarities, and this year is no exception. To make things a bit easier for you we compiled a list of some of the releases we think are worth making those lines. You will find reissues from classic albums, live recordings, special editions, and rarities.

If you are in the Miami area, make sure to support your local stores Technique Records, Sweat Records, and Radioactive Records if you are more up north.
