As a Madlib/JDilla/DJ Shadow fan, I get the appeal of hip hop instrumental albums. That market is out there. I’m not sure if it’s hot enough to justify pressing the Ready to Die instrumentals. I guess we will see.
Rap wise, I'm super hyped up for : Devin The Dude Murder was the Case Mic Geronimo Snoop - The Blue Carpet Treatment Maybe the Nas & the Freddie Gibbs re-issue
I was looking forward to the Motley Crue album until I saw it was a picture disc. I’ll probably just pick up the CD until a standard pressing gets released.
Good video. Enjoyed it. The 2022 RSD release for Def Leppard was Live in Oxford 1980 and can still be bought via Discogs for face value or less. It's an excellent document of them on their first and heaviest album and would recommend. The versions on there are mostly better than the actual On Through the Night album. I was actually also at the Leadmill show which was a small club show and the setlist was quite different to their usual with deeper cuts like Mirror Mirror off High n Dry.
Personally the live albums are always among the things I look forward to the most and the things that make the most sense to me as limited releases. The owner of the record store I work for asked a contact at Warner why The Cure always release picture discs for RSD. Apparently it's because Robert Smith personally collects them and wants to have all of The Cure's albums released on picture disc. My thinking is if Robert Smith wants The Cure's albums on picture disc he should have them. They always wind up releasing standard versions later anyway. All I'm going to say about Rumours on picture disc is that for as much as guys like us are going to complain about it every record store in the country could still sell at least 5 copies of it. My thinking about the really big albums people want to see like say the self titled Alice In Chains album is those need to not be limited releases. That's how prices skyrocket and flippers show up to ruin it for everyone. I'm happier to just a long list of solid releases die hards will want and I think that's what we got this year.
Remember 10 years ago when RSD used to have lots of cool singles like the mystery one where it would be the original song on one side and then a surprise band playing the song on the other side with really cool vinyl colors. What happened to all that cool stuff? Back then I could only afford singles on RSD and there were always a lot of really cool ones. Now theres 1 or 2 and no mystery singles for years now
Thanks for the video - thought there was plenty for everyone on this years RSD list. However do agree with too many pointless picture discs. Got my eye on Propaganda, Electrafixion and Pete Murphy from the UK list.
My daughter has gotten me into Taylor Swift in the last couple of years. I think the biggest disappointment is not releasing the 3am version of midnights. That's a lot of songs that are missing on vinyl. Think that would be a perfect RSD release.
Nick, I totally agree with your take on the Def Leppard release. If it was from the 80's, I would have wanted it!. Either RSD isn't aware of people's dislike of picture discs, or they just don't care. I love live albums myself. I think my collection is loaded with them! Lol!
There seem to be mixed feelings about the RSD out there. I understand your thoughts completely. But there are a couple of items that I want this year. For sure, I am going to go to my small local store. - Heather
Wait we don't like picture discs? Over played? Or other reason? Guess given black or pictures? Why not pictures? It's unique to vinyl and like more photos. Are photos also bad on lyric sheets and the covers?
Picture discs and live albums?! The end is nigh for RSD day unless they start listening to collectors and asking them what they would like to see released, instead of churning out the same old stuff time and time again just in a different vinyl format, It’s either pic disc or a different colour than the one they put out last year that you already bought, but never something that collectors are really after!!!!
Respectfully I’d have to disagree. Sorry for the wait by Wayne is a banger. It’s not even an album, it’s a mixtape. Top 3 mixtapes by him for sure. Right next to no ceilings
A lot of complaints about the prices. $46 for PJ @ 15000 copies, but I guess since the black wax is going to be $40. And $60 for Tesla? On a side topic, how are single discs on black vinyl now going for $40?
Oliva Rodriquez is dropping a release on RSD.I think we will get a Taylor release but it has not been announced yet. The lines will be long for sure now.
Crying and whining endlessly about Taylor Swift not having a release on record. Store day is absolutely ridiculous. It’s a bunch of kids waiting in line for one album that she made that’s way overpriced and I have to stand in line behind all of them and they are beyond annoying record store day should be for record collectors, and to support our favorite record stores.
I’m a fan of picture discs/coloured vinyls but bearing in mind that many people don’t actually play them they’re too expensive for essentially a wall hanging or something that’ll sit in a box. If you’re releasing stuff for record playing people then offering a choice of formats would be better.

I think the two biggest titles are Talking Heads and David Bowie. Both of which I will be hunting for.
Bowie one is pointless lol

What’s crazy is it’s not the whole album of ready to die too if I’m not mistaken
Olivia Rodrigo / Noah Kahan 7” will be a hot release
Rap wise, I'm super hyped up for :
Devin The Dude
Murder was the Case
Mic Geronimo
Snoop - The Blue Carpet Treatment
Maybe the Nas & the Freddie Gibbs re-issue
I was looking forward to the Motley Crue album until I saw it was a picture disc. I’ll probably just pick up the CD until a standard pressing gets released.
No PRINCE vinyl on the list. I hear 94 East may be released in the UK but that album has been released over and over. So disappointing.

Interesting. Others have stated that this RSD is one of the better ones in years.
Way to many live lps and not enough interesting jazz for me. No interest in picture disks either.
And not junk pressed jazz, either.
Personally the live albums are always among the things I look forward to the most and the things that make the most sense to me as limited releases.

I love live albums. Cheaper than a concert ticket!
Agree!!
Yes the amount of picture discs this year was insane. That was one of my first comments to my friends. I am hoping for a regular Splinter release.
Fleetwood Mac was just lazy.

That LA Forum show that came with deluxe edition Pyromania would be an awesome release!
Wanted the Dio - Last In Line but it seems to have disappeared from the UK list.
Oh that’s interesting, it’s still on the US list.
Picture discs are the bane of the record store day experience, at least for me

I agree! Too many picture discs!!

“Feels like a cash grab” is what RSD should be called
U2 needs to take a few RSD's off. Unless they dig out their remixes from Actung Baby era that would be cool
Yeah, I’ve been largely disappointed with their RSD releases, but I did like Under a Blood Red Sky from last year.

I 100% agree! Labels need to start pressing what people want or RSD will find itself less and less relevant.
Before every list drop, I tell my buddies that I think Pearl Jam's Lost Dogs is going to be on the list. And every year I'm wrong
Lost Dogs would be a great RSD title!!
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Respectfully I’d have to disagree. Sorry for the wait by Wayne is a banger. It’s not even an album, it’s a mixtape. Top 3 mixtapes by him for sure. Right next to no ceilings
im pretty hype for young thug - Jeffery
Someone had to say it
Only thing Offspring should be releasing is Smash. All they do is waste their time with the crap that came after it.
New Pearl Jam!
I disagree...I love live albums, I rather hear the raw sound / jams of in concert of the music I like
The Beatles 3” records, ok, all 3” records are a major disappointment
A lot of complaints about the prices. $46 for PJ @ 15000 copies, but I guess since the black wax is going to be $40. And $60 for Tesla? On a side topic, how are single discs on black vinyl now going for $40?
How would Blues Traveler 4 be a really big release😂
They're barely relevant anymore.
Since the last reissue regularly sells for $500+ I’d say there’s more than enough interest in it.

No Miles Davis, so poor list for me.

Weak releases this year.
Very disappointed in these releases, i don't see anything that i want.
Not impressed with RSD at all. TBH , not really anything I want or have to have.
I do not buy picture discs. They mostly suck.
Why? I’ve never bought one myself. Just curious. Wouldn’t it be nicer to look at than a standard black colour?
