Celebrating its fifteenth consecutive year supporting independent record stores and record collectors worldwide, Record Store Day 2022 takes place Saturday, April 23rd. With hundreds of special RSD releases planned to hit stores near you, it can be a daunting task to sort through the entire list. But we’ve done just that and we're happy to present the 25 releases we’re most excited about this year, including a handful of denoted UK-only releases.

Check out our picks in the slideshow below, click or tap on each image for more details about each release, and be sure to support your local record stores not just on Record Store Day, but EVERY day.

The full lists of special RSD 2022 releases can be found here: US | UK

Editor’s Note: Since we originally published this list, the arrival dates for a small handful of RSD releases featured here have been delayed until the next RSD drop scheduled to take place on June 18th. Click on the album artwork below to explore the respective details and release dates.
