It’s that time of the year again! Yep, assemble all audiophiles, geeks, nerds, collectors, and completists both young and old! Record Store Day 2021 offers some absolute gems and we’ve done the hard work in picking them out for you. 

Record Store Day has revealed its list of releases for the 2021 iteration of the event, which will take place over two dates: 6/12 and 7/17.
