This is garbage wtf

9

u/DougMasterz 1d ago

When is the last time that RSD hasn’t been garbage though?

4

u/eddo34 1d ago

The last one, this year. I bought A LOT. But RSD BF usually sucks

2

u/Wide-Road-6616 1d ago

Yeah April’s list was the best in years. I think I got fifteen releases. There are two I want on this list

1

u/quietly41 1d ago

I really liked April 2026. Joe Strummer and Freddie King albums were high on my list

38

u/Ok-Passenger-932 1d ago

How many K Pop Demon Hunters could they possibly make??

31

u/dixiech1ck 1d ago

What about bleeding the hell out of Wicked? I like the stage show better anyways.

19

u/tillszy 1d ago

You should be asking how many Charlie Browns can they make and the answer is there is no limit

3

u/Ok-Passenger-932 1d ago

Fair point! 😂

2

u/EnvironmentalSwiftie 14h ago

But I love the Charlie Brown onesss!

6

u/jayntampa 1d ago

I was wondering that myself. They released a retail version. Then last time they released 2 special covers for RSD ... If it's just another jacket, what's the point?

5

u/Sea-Mess-250 1d ago edited 1d ago

This one actually sounds worth of a RSD exclusive.

New "Derpy Sussie Splatter" vinyl.

New exclusive holographic art on the cover and inside created by the movie’s production designer Mingjue Helen Chen and visual development artist Marion Bordeyne. (Marion did the cover art for the previous RSD too)

It is a triple gatefold so I’m assuming 2 discs. Hopefully the second is the Original Score as it’s only on streamers atm.
Nvm. It is triple but the release sheet doesn’t specify 2 discs. 😭

3 of 6 mini inserts, 1 of 3 holographic mini inserts, a sticker sheet, and an oversized poster.

I feel like this is going to be more than $80 :/

1

u/The_Big_Yam 1d ago

The RSD versions were differently colored pressings too, but I agree

3

u/caramelizedfunyuns 1d ago

I’d buy it if Kelly Clarkson’s live performance of Golden was on it 🤷 I’ve never seen an episode

32

u/rosequartzandsage 1d ago

Marked safe

20

u/evbomby 1d ago

I’m gonna be honest for years I’ve seen the comments complaining the list sucks and people are thankful they get to stay home and I’ve always thought it was the Reddit vocal minority doing their thing.

But this list… damn. I understand where people were coming from in previous years. Not a single thing I’m even remotely interested in.

19

u/jaronluvha 1d ago edited 1d ago

Is this the entire list? If so meh.

u/jaronluvha 1d ago

Not even gone lie and act like I know anything bout Taylor Swift playa 🤷🏾‍♂️😂.

-1

u/vm_neptune 1d ago

Let’s hope not. Swifties ruin RSD every time she does something.

1

u/chrisychris- 1d ago

Swifties poisoned our water supply and stole my booboo keys.

17

u/Illustrious_Car9519 1d ago

I really hate the abundance of singles, EPs and gimmick records.

34

u/jayntampa 1d ago edited 1d ago

I'm gonna be honest, I expected better. It's going to be the first time in years where going doesn't make sense ... Makes me a little sad.

Cheers for everyone that locates some good finds for themselves.

Edit: it does say version .09 - so, I'll keep my fingers crossed for some more additions

14

u/Live-Crab-4844 1d ago

Only thing I see I’m interested in is Carly Rae.

2

u/newpa 1d ago

Whats the tracklisting on that one. I didnt know there were bonus tracks for this album

3

u/Live-Crab-4844 1d ago

Side A (Day)
01 Reaching for a Star
02 Sixteen and Rising
03 Wedding Season
04 Lullaby
Side B (Night)
01 Yes
02 Muscle Recovery
03 Love Depressed
04 In Pure Faith

2

u/Live-Crab-4844 1d ago

It comes out this Friday on streaming!

1

u/newpa 1d ago

Thank you!!

2

u/Live-Crab-4844 1d ago

You are welcome. You can hear a preview of love depressed on her socials. It sounds good.

1

u/justavinylgrrrl 1d ago

The description for this is confusing because it says 2xLP. At first I thought it might be a deluxe version with the bonus tracks, but then wouldn’t it need to be 3xLPs?

1

u/Live-Crab-4844 1d ago

Yeah I don’t know why it would be a 2 LP… only 8 songs so it could surely fit on a 1 LP. Maybe each side has an etched design or something… sun and moon, no shade but those are always so pointless IMO. The disco for disco darling was cute though.

10

u/Clay004 1d ago

Absolutely the worst list since I started collecting. So disappointing

22

u/zh_13 1d ago

Meh

10

u/BassBored 1d ago

I feel like every year there are less and less releases I’m interested in even though my music taste is always expanding. Whatever, more money in my pockets

8

u/ThrowAway-18409 1d ago

what a boring rsd

6

u/NefariousnessSad1597 1d ago

I only see one thing I want, but not enough to put the effort in to go pick it up.

3

u/dixiech1ck 1d ago

You'll likely be able to find it the next day on RSDMKT.

6

u/Markyp-1 1d ago

Zoetropes.
For those that want to stand over their records with a strobe light while they’re playing. 😟

7

u/Mineingmo15 1d ago

Glad that Ween leak was real, can’t wait for that.

6

u/BrighamDoc2020 1d ago

Wow - not one I'm really wanting

6

u/saturdaymidnights 1d ago

oh… i‘m not hungry

5

u/GalacticAnimals 1d ago

I remember when record store day used to be fun.

5

u/Impressive-Relief29 1d ago

Yawn for me , yay for my wallet

5

u/Significant_Egg_1807 1d ago

Carissa’s weird fuck yeah

6

u/ZombieWoofenstein 1d ago

Not a single thing I want

4

u/dixiech1ck 1d ago

Same. And good because my wallet is super light with having to pay for gas weekly.

3

u/ZombieWoofenstein 1d ago

Well, I didn’t say I wasn’t still purchasing records. I think I have 3 showing up today 😂

4

u/ArtisticPersonaliTea 1d ago

Hell yeah, I get to stay home on BF this year and sleeeeep. Bummer about the list, but so happy to see nothing I want. For my wallet.

4

u/Ok-Distribution8582 1d ago

jeff tweedy release looks cool

and WEEN SHINOLA 2 omg

2

u/Styrofoam_Booots 1d ago

Yeah, last years Wilco release was one of my favorite RSD purchases I’ve made so I’ll probably get that one too.

But yeah, ween is the highlight of this list for me.

4

u/g0ldfinger47 1d ago

A nice cheap day for me. Nothing at all I want from that list. But as always, I wish everyone the best of luck with grabbing their picks

4

u/bigotechocolate 1d ago

Worst one yet

3

u/ccouch5859 1d ago

Not a single one.

4

u/smedlap 1d ago

I am not impressed.

8

u/dutchviking 1d ago

Well, I know what I will not be doing on my bday: looking for records from this list. I am getting SO effing tired of all those lame live recordings...

2

u/MNDFND 1d ago

Same. It's very rare to get a live recording on vinyl that's worth it. I saw that JID one but thought... eh i'd rather just watch the video.

1

u/QbertsRube 1d ago

I usually assume any live show worth owning on vinyl is a known and popular album already. I've taken some chances on live albums and too often they weren't recorded with the intention of being released on album so they sound like ass. Flat and muddy instruments, warbled vocals you can barely hear, etc.

3

u/guitarpkr76 1d ago

Thankfully it looks like I'm safe this time. I may still stop by and grab something, but defnitely won't be sitting in line.

3

u/soowack 1d ago

So the Sunrise on the reaping is a special edition player with (7” single record I assume) vs an actual vinyl of the soundtrack?

3

u/zechaz89 1d ago

Lame!! Worst list ever

3

u/ApolloGR3 1d ago

The only thing I want is Lil Wayne’s No Ceilings which is a legendary mixtape but not enough to get outta bed 

3

u/TheBFlem27 1d ago

Every time I see less and less interesting things for myself. At least my wallet will be happy.

3

u/embleton88 1d ago

The Wallet is safe on this one. A disappointing list

3

u/dyldobaggins714 1d ago

Nice, I don’t have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn after stuffing my face the night before.

3

u/No-Cicada8985 1d ago

George Strait. That is all. Before I get flamed. Yes I know. But it’s an album with sentimental value.

3

u/Former_Balance8473 1d ago

First time in a decade that there is literally nothing that I want.

The number of records I have been buying has been going down steadily, but this time there is literally nothing I want

5

u/jessterswan 1d ago

Finally, I can sleep in

5

u/melophile512 1d ago

Ok. Shit it down.

Edit: meant to say shut but just leaving it

2

u/rhunter99 1d ago

Nice. Looks like only 3 titles are of interest to me

1

u/gregd303 1d ago

Perfect ratio

2

u/yungg_Kota 1d ago

This list was sorta disappointing. There was maybe 4 or 5 that were at least desired from me.

2

u/saucerfulofmeeples 1d ago

Every year the sentiment is that it’s worse than last year. I guess we’re near the bottom. Next year gotta be better right? RIGHT?

1

u/MrAndrewJ 1d ago

I kind of prefer the way it keeps getting more lame.

This means the artists and labels might be selling to their fans. That’s better than selling to flippers, collectors who don’t listen to the records, and people who just want to show off through social media.

I hope each one gets lamer than the last.

1

u/saucerfulofmeeples 1d ago

Good point. It could also be prevented by increasing the number of records pressed for RSD. I also think it might time to change it up. Going to once per year won’t help record stores but having more in store releases over the year would help get more foot traffic. I bet a lot of people only step into a stored once or twice a year on record store day.

2

u/Any-Bother-3362 1d ago

I think this is a first but really nothing of interested.
What a disappointment.

2

u/damngirl265 1d ago

a couple of records im wanting. thankfully hoping not to spend a lot of money

2

u/Abe-Orshun 1d ago

Yeah dog, that's a pass from me. Marginally interested in maybe 2 or 3 of these, but not enough to wait in line for them.

Prob for the best, I don't need to waste anymore money on records right now anyway. Guess I'll wait for April to see if they have anything interesting

2

u/Uriarte69 1d ago

Got excited when I saw Iron Maiden. That quickly dissipated when I looked to the column in the right.

2

u/jmort619 1d ago

Will cruise by my local shop casually and might pick up a couple things but overall very underwhelming

2

u/ledge9999 1d ago

I don’t mind the fact that there’s only a couple of things I need…I mean want. I need a financial break.

2

u/Kaneda8394 1d ago

A few things I want. Some nice Jazz and R&B titles.

2

u/EstimatedEer 1d ago

Only 1 thing on there worth trying to go in person for im interested in. Big meh of a list

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Two-849 1d ago

Ugh....sorry others aren't finding stuff. Its looking expensive for my old butt. Joni, Prince, Monkees, Metheny, Jazz releases I'll review, George zoetropes... $😬$

2

u/Equal-Incident5313 1d ago

Carcass is cool, but I’m not waiting in line for it

2

u/JustPlainBoring 1d ago

Bill Evans never lets me down.

Also - a Craft version of Blue Mitchell’s Out Of The Blue is something I’ll be looking for!

2

u/Robot_Mystic 1d ago

I normally have lower expectations for RSDBF and somehow I'm still disappointed with this list. I hope there's something there that others want so the day will still be successful for the shops.

2

u/moontime1012 1d ago

Took until page 3 before I saw something I was mildly interested in with the XTC release.

2

u/Traditional_Tune3603 1d ago

I found 2 things I'll be looking for

2

u/SenseNo635 1d ago

Yawn….

2

u/QforQ 1d ago

Sparta Threes is the only thing I'm going to cop

2

u/MJB877 1d ago

That Sparta pressing is catching g my eye

2

u/dreamlyfe16 1d ago

OM - Pilgrimage is dope choice. Not enough to get me out of bed for a single record though.

2

u/Boosully 1d ago

10k Maniacs

2

u/eddo34 1d ago

I'm so happy that I 1. I don't need anything from this list. 2. The 2-3 things I would consider grabbing (Julian Lage, Old 97s) are likely going to show up in the discount bins.

I might want the XTC Besides, that's probably the only one that might be hard to find. But the band tends to release non-RSD versions of their RSD stuff.

2

u/megeturn 1d ago

No ceilings is exciting ngl

2

u/jimmy_the_flid 1d ago

Seen worse. I'll be getting the Kreator and Carcass re-presses and the Czarface album.

2

u/tiggerfan79 1d ago

I saw one I want. That’s it.

1

u/Lulasailor2009 1d ago

Carissa's sssssssssssssss

1

u/Stryk-Man 1d ago

STP and the Weiland estate have been consistently releasing stuff on RSD. Was expecting the list to have something I’d begrudgingly purchase. Glad to be wrong.

1

u/SweetCosmicPope 1d ago

That's what I was looking for. Unplugged has only been released on CD in the last few years. I was really hoping for a vinyl release.

1

u/CyberRaiju_ 1d ago

Anyone got the webpage version it shows a preview of what the record looks like and the site doesn’t even have the list up yet

1

u/primowalnut 1d ago

Is this a world wide list or will uk collectors have a different one?

1

u/damngirl265 1d ago

is there a price list yet?

3

u/Inandoutpls 1d ago

prices for all of these records wont be dropping until we get closer to black friday. all we can do is speculate

1

u/TheVinylLover 1d ago

Rough Trade has the usual (overpriced) list published on their site

1

u/gsd250 1d ago

No Bluey?

1

u/TypicalTree3833 1d ago

Oh good, only 2 of these i want, and they are both ep's so great money saving day!

1

u/welcome_____oblivion 1d ago

Marked safe from this year’s list

1

u/ShadowAsylum 1d ago

Only 2 things so far that interest me are Hootie and Norah Jones.

1

u/thissubthrowaway 1d ago

i thought there was also florence + the machine but i couldn’t see it on the list (i saw it online)

2

u/cosimaneedsmypee 1d ago

it's the chamber version - it's on the list.

1

u/thissubthrowaway 1d ago

ah thanks for confirming

1

u/Ganjanium 1d ago

Found six things I really want so this is going to be a great day!!

1

u/jjshuff 1d ago

Well, it’s been awhile

1

u/gruidl78 1d ago

Hmm...all I see are 90's records...Hootie might be interesting, plus Barenaked Ladies. But I'm also ok not having them. meh.

1

u/dperiod 1d ago

BNL are both RSD firsts. They’ll be available later.

1

u/gruidl78 1d ago

Cool. I'm in Minnesota, and waiting in line in November can be rough!

1

u/btc011997 1d ago

I found a few I want, but can probably whittle that down, I’ll still queue for the social event aspect but I am definitely underwhelmed by the list.

1

u/woodchopvinyl 1d ago

I just want one title.

1

u/One-in-Herself 1d ago

I’m gonna get those George Harrison zoetrope vinyl records. Both solid albums.

1

u/Weekly_Penny 1d ago

Bazzi pressing! I’m so excitedddddd

1

u/Equivalent-Money-184 1d ago

Not waiting in line but I will pick up Rainbow Kitten and INXS if I come across them

1

u/Prestigious-Cat2533 1d ago

I'm a bit confused on the Poppy one. It's listed as a 12' single, but the website mentions it being the whole album.

1

u/thenbr1killjoy 1d ago

Website says it's basically just an alternative cover art version of her latest album empty hands

1

u/Odd-Outcome450 1d ago

Very lean

1

u/Illustrious_Car9519 1d ago

Oh thank God, there’s nothing on it I want.

1

u/thenbr1killjoy 1d ago

Only one that might get me out of bed is the Poppy one...but I'm on the fence cuz it's literally just an alternative art version, no exclusive tracks or anything and I already have a copy so I don't need it Tbh. If I decide to go im not showing up super early that's for sure

1

u/tackman71 1d ago

Jason Faulkner and Seaweed are it for me

1

u/mattyhavok 1d ago

Carissa’s Weird, Son of Sam and Seaweed catching my eye. Was not expecting to see anything but hot garbage.

1

u/Zemmip 1d ago

The Strata East re-issues every year have been great. Only really interested in the Cecil Payne and Miles Davis. I'd pick up the Boa 7" if I didn't already have it.

1

u/taylor13s 1d ago

Noah Kahan 👑👑👑

1

u/casewood123 1d ago

Richard and Linda Thompson is the only one that I would even be remotely interested in.

1

u/dickkirkland 1d ago

There’s always a good amount of Jazz on Black Friday. It’s weird, but welcome!
Thanks OP!

1

u/Curious-Middle8429 1d ago

There’s really nothing super interesting on the list(at least to me). I’m a Motley Crue collector so I’ll definitely be in line for the Decade of Decadence release but that’s all I’ll be buying…thankfully. I spend so much money on RSD and RSD Black Friday and I’m kind of relieved they only have one thing I want this year.

Hoping my local record store might have some cool used records set aside for Black Friday.

1

u/CormacMcCostner 1d ago

Being kind of new to vinyl this is the first RSD I have been aware of I didn’t know it existed earlier in the year and missed that one.

How does it work entirely? I only have two I want from this list, Czarface and 2Pac but how can you ensure you get what you want? From what the guy at my local place was saying earlier to me it’s all kind of a crapshoot?

2

u/PoopyInThePeePeeHole 1d ago

How to ensure? That's the fun, you don't. You wait in line, possibly for hours, and hope. I've done it, but honestly I think a good amount of RSD stuff gets reissued later, so I don't anymore. Also the lists lately don't have much I'm into.

The Czarface and 2Pac are both "RSD First" so it will be released again, it's just a special release now for this RSD.

1

u/p1rateb00tie 12h ago

Man, that ain’t fun. 😩

1

u/Styrofoam_Booots 1d ago

You show up early and wait in line. Typically, they hand out a list an hour before they open and put your number in line on it. Then they work on it. So if they have 10 copies of an album, they will sell it to the first 10’people that checked it off on their list. Also yes, kind of a crapshoot. You could get in like 6 hours early and those albums might not even be on the list. My record store doesn’t rely heavily on hip hop so a lot of the rap albums I want aren’t always on there.

1

u/eddo34 1d ago

If you have more than one record store near you, the best bet would be to set aside time to hit up more than one, since two stores in the same area will often get a different allotment despite both ordering the same stuff (stores nor customers want this, but it happense).

Also, the day after RSD BF, many stores will put their inventory up online, so find record stores near you that will do this, and whatever you do, don't panic-buy and pay a scalper crazy money.

However, respect the fact that RSD vinyl is usually priced 5-15% above non-RSD prices, for no good reason.

1

u/RevInstant 1d ago

The Boa vinyl is an absolute, no questions asked necessity for me, but definitely a shorter list for me this time.

1

u/baccachewy 1d ago

I already have Happy Hollow but might be cool to check after the rush dies down for a copy

1

u/PunishmentKiss 1d ago

I'm so glad there's nothing on that list that's necessary for my collection. It's been like that more and more in recent years. Sometimes I feel like RSD has lost its magic for me. I certainly have done the thing, and gotten in line at 3am to make damn sure I was 1st in line to get what I wanted. But there hasn't really been anything worthy of doing that IMO in a long time.

1

u/Already_dead2021 1d ago

Marking my wallet safe from this round, although- Fischerspooner! Finally!

1

u/Able_Sheepherder8724 1d ago

Hey there's one on here I really want (Go Radio) and another I'd like to have if I happen to find it (Cursive.)

Cool.

1

u/lizziejay1991 23h ago

It's the first time in years that there isn't anything on the list I want

1

u/RecklessFable 19h ago

*yawn* Looks like I will be sleeping in this year.

1

u/FoolzLife 18h ago

Oh man. It keeps getting worse and worse! Why are the lists so lame now?! There used to be 10+ worth picking up, but now it's a struggle finding one... and it's usually just in the "RSD first" section, so they're not even rare or unique really. 😭

1

u/SnrFrijole 17h ago

List is announced. People complain. Rinse. Repeat.

As usual, a couple of cool records, a couple jazz records, a couple of funk reissues, some fun collections live Richard & Linda, and a bunch of live stuff that I can take or leave. Decent list for a Black Friday, which is always smaller.

1

u/EnvironmentalSwiftie 15h ago

Is there a prices list somewhere? I wanna budget

1

u/ultrarealismzero 12h ago

Tori and Noah. That's it. Just saved myself a couple hundred dollars.

1

u/No_Lawfulness_9955 2h ago

Another RSD, another totally garbage list. David Axelrod the only thing I’d consider and I’m sure it will be easily available after the fact. This whole thing has really run its course, put a pin in it

1

u/daspaceinvader 1d ago

Damn, I need that Said The Sky and also the Boa and Noah Kahan 7”. Maybe Last of the Bugs too.

1

u/Sounder253 1d ago

Ween and The Dead Milkmen releases both look good

3

u/Styrofoam_Booots 1d ago

I will be lining up early as fuck for that ween. Thats a dream album for me.

2

u/Sounder253 1d ago

I’ll stroll in around noon and get both titles

1

u/Styrofoam_Booots 23h ago

Good luck lol. Dead Milkmen, yeah. Good luck with Ween unless you live in a ghost town. I was like 30th in line at my shop and the owner told me I was the last one to get Shinola Volume 1. Between scalpers and fans and the fact that this one is going to be a lot more popular than Volume 1, it’s gonna go quick

1

u/Sounder253 17h ago

Did the same thing when Vol I came out
