I can still remember refreshing my browser in my freshman dorm room, waiting for one or both of those albums to leak after the action of Record Store Day was over. Both Heaven is Whenever and So Runs the World Away didn’t come out on iTunes or anywhere else until May 4 th, but you could grab both of them on vinyl if you went to the right store at the right time on April 17 th. The crown jewels of the day, though, were the releases from The Hold Steady and Josh Ritter. The list features collectible reissues of Modest Mouse’s The Moon and Antarctica (a 10-year pressing) and Tom Waits’ Mule Variations (an 11-year pressing), as well as reissues from fun., Japandroids, and more. Where 2009 featured a bunch of nifty singles or live releases from big-name acts, 2010 was the first year where the RSD list really catered toward album lovers. That fact alone should shine a light on how great this list is, since I didn’t start collecting records for another four years. The Rundown: 2010 was the first year I remember paying any attention to the Record Store Day list. – Chronic Town Tom Waits – Mule Variations LCD Soundsystem – Pow Pow John Lennon – 7-Inch Box Set Wilco – Kicking Television Bon Iver/Peter Gabriel – Come Talk to Me/Flume Bruce Springsteen – Wrecking Ball/The Ghost of Tom Joad fun. The Highlights: The Hold Steady – Heaven is Whenever Josh Ritter – So Runs the World Away Modest Mouse – The Moon in Antarctica (10-Year Anniversary Edition) Japandroids – Post Nothing Nada Surf – If I Had a Hi-Fi R.E.M. Still, 2009 was definitely a step in the right direction. There were better years to come, and all the artists that released stuff on CD (Iron & Wine, Rivers Cuomo, Cold War Kids, The Dandy Warhols) make it clear that not everyone believed in the vinyl resurgence just yet. That Regina Spektor album, still her most popular work, also received its first-ever vinyl pressing here. Add some killer live releases from Neil Young, The Gaslight Anthem, and My Morning Jacket, as well as reissues of very early works from Queen, Bad Religion, and The Talking Heads, and Record Store 2009 definitely offered plenty for music geeks to sink their teeth into.

The Radiohead 10-inch series - which compiled vinyl pressings of all the band’s singles, up through Hail to the Thief - was a definite highlight. Where the first year of RSD brought a sorry slate of releases, 2009’s list had a lot of big names and a fair share of cool releases that I’d be willing to pick up if I ever saw them in a record store today. The Rundown: As you can see, Record Store Day made something of a quantum leap between 20.

The Highlights: Radiohead – Vinyl EP Reissues Bruce Springsteen – What Love Can Do Bad Religion – Original EP The Gaslight Anthem – Live at Park Ave Modest Mouse – Satellite Skin / Guilty Cockerspaniels My Morning Jacket – Celebracion de la Ciudad Natal 2×10’ Neil Young – Live at Canterbury House Queen – First EP Regina Spektor – Begin to Hope Talking Heads – 77 LP. Any other year, this list would merit an F, but it gets graded on a curve because it was the first year and there was never going to be a hugely impressive slate of releases. None of those releases would even move the needle much today, so we should all at least be thankful that Record Store Day transcended its humble roots.Ĭlick here for Pitchfork’s coverage of the 2008 Record Store Day.

The full 2008 list is nowhere to be found online, but Wikipedia notes that there were “approximately 10 special Record Store Day releases,” most of which are listed above. Still, the 2008 list was fairly dire, as you can probably tell by looking at the highlights listed above. To be fair, 2008 marked the inaugural RSD and there just wasn’t as big a push to get artists or labels to participate. The Rundown: Say what you want about the past few Record Store Day lists, but if we’re all being honest with ourselves, there is no way that any of them are the worst RSD list ever, because that title belongs to 2008. – Supernatural Superserious/Airliner Vampire Weekend – A-Punk Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart The Highlights: The Black Keys – Strange Times Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks – Cold Son Built to Spill – Don’t Try/The Source R.E.M. Here are the 11 iterations of Record Store Day (we excluded Black Friday lists) and at the bottom, the ultimate verdict. And as another celebration is upon us, it’s time for an update. Last year, as part of our #RSDWeek, Modern Vinyl ranked what was then 9 years of RSD and 10 lists, attempting to decide which year had the best selections.
