If you're flipping through the bins in a record store and you see the words *RSD ESSENTIAL* on a record -- a newly discovered masterpiece from an iconic artist, an album that first hit turntables 10, 30, even 50 years ago, the soundtrack that got you and half your generation through high school -- they are there to let you know we think that record is essential.
Essential for a record store to have in their bins, and quite possibly for you to have in your collection.
We've stamped RSD ESSENTIAL on about fifty titles so far, and we're very excited about some of the Essentials coming in 2024 -- including indie-record-store-exclusive variants on absolute classics from The Beach Boys, Mazzy Star and Slayer. Looking to add them to your collection? Click to pre-order from your local record store right now and get a head start on 2024! |
