Record Store Day is less than a month away, and vinyl fanatics like myself have been stoking our anticipation with the massive list of special releases being featured this year. Of course, it truly is a massive list, and since lines at record stores will almost certainly be even bigger, it'll behoove all of us to have a game plan prior to fluffing our sleeping bags to camp out at the door. That's why I decided to sit down - with input from Eden - and list what we believe to be the essential release from this year's RSD; records that truly capture the essence of that "special release" vibe that the pseudo-holiday has built its reputation upon. This won't be a comprehensive list by any means, and I encourage everyone to comment with the releases that you're most looking forward to snagging next month. That being said, head past the jump to see the vinyl nerd in me gush about what RSD 2016 has to offer.
