Like last year, Record Store Day has adjusted its annual event amid the coronavirus pandemic for a smooth and safe celebration. Announced in March, RSD is set for two dates this summer to allow more time for production and shipping that has been impacted by the pandemic.

As usual, the releases are broken down into a few different categories. Exclusives are only being released for Record Store Day at indie record stores. RSD First releases will be released at the event, but they might end up at other retailers or webstore in the future. Finally, small run and regional titles are either only sold at specific stores or have a limited release of less than 1000 copies.
