Record Store Day 2025 is on April 12. For fans looking forward to hitting up their local record stores, the list of titles has been out for a while now, with additional titles added after the list was released.
As in recent years, releases are broken up into three different categories:
-RSD Exclusive: These titles are physically released only at indie record stores.
-RSD First: These titles are found first at indie record stores. However, they may be released to other retailers or websites at some point in the future
-RSD Limited Run/Regional Focus: These titles are either regionally based and sold at specific stores or are press runs 1000 and under, which means they may be harder to find at record stores around the country.
Without further ado, here is a list of titles we think you might want to add to your shopping list. The full titles list can be found at RecordStoreDay.com where you'll also be able to find a list of participating stores.
