Record Store Day has shared the complete list of releases for the event’s new coronavirus-adjusted schedule. The annual celebration of independent record stores across the country will now take place on August 29th, September 26th, and October 24th.
Originally slated for April 18th, the event was forced to postpone as retail outlets across the country were closed indefinitely amid state-mandated quarantines. As the pandemic raged on, organizers originally postponed RSD to June 20th. Eventually, the date was once again changed to a three-tiered fall release schedule.
