Record Store Day looks a little different this year. Considering the coronavirus pandemic restrictions, Record Store Day will take the form of "RSD Drops," taking place on two separate days, June 12 and July 17. Independent stores will remain in charge of their own sales and releases, depending on their particular location's setup.
"The spread of titles over two dates in two months allows some flexibility for the struggling vinyl pressing plants and distribution companies," reads a statement on the Record Store Day website, "as well as provide stores time to prepare budgets and place the orders that safely get music into the hands of customers on a larger than normal release day."
