This 12 months’s Record Store Day is unfold throughout three completely different dates, and the primary is sort of upon us

Like the whole lot else, Record Store Day seems slightly completely different this 12 months. Initially scheduled for April, it was postponed till June as “unprecedented uncertainty” gripped the retail sector, after which spilled into three separate occasions because the excessive avenue didn’t return to something resembling normality. 

Now it is scheduled to run throughout three dates – to accommodate social distancing measures – and the primary is that this Saturday, August 29.  

Not solely has the day change into three completely different days, however the RSD releases have been cut up into three completely different “drops”, and our highlights under are from the primary drop.

Notable highlights embrace a double vinyl package deal of unreleased materials by cult American psychedelic band The Fallen Angels, Return To Monster Planet by Australian area rock weirdo Steve Maxwell Von Braund, and a tantalising double 7″ image disc from the mighty Black Sabbath.
