Saturday, April 18th, 2026, marks the date of yet another epic Record Store Day. The official list of exclusive releases for this most looked-forward-to day of the year has arrived, and it is nothing short of spectacular.
This year’s list has an almost equally intimidating presence as the cold weather, featuring 363 releases ranging from first-time pressings to electrifying reissues. With all this fun just waiting to be shelved next to your current favorite records, a question comes to mind: where to begin? Glide has done the heavy lifting of selecting the releases we are most excited to see hit the shelves at our local record store.
You can check out the full list of releases and Glide’s picks below.
Ween – “Europe 90”
This is Brown Ween in its dirtiest form. Three LPs of previously unreleased Ween, dragged straight out of the muck. LP1 captures the long-lost Eindhoven studio sessions cut on Christmas Day 1990. LPs 2 and 3 unleash the famously unhinged Live in Basel 1990 show—recorded sometime in the winter of ’90–’91 and widely rumored to be the best Ween show ever, a claim even Dean Ween backs. Zero polish, maximum Brown.

Caamp – Caamp 10th Anniversary Edition
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/20147
Contemporary folk all-stars Caamp are celebrating the tenth anniversary of their seminal debut album with an official remastered and expanded edition. Along with the original 10 songs, which include hits like “So Long, Honey” and “All The Debts I Owe,” the new pressing will include three previously unreleased demos and four live tracks, all pressed on clear coke-bottle vinyl in a double sleeve.
The Cure – Acoustic Hits
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19954
A companion album to The Cure’s traditional Greatest Hits record, Acoustic Hits is stripped-down reimaginings of the band’s classics. Remastered by frontman Robert Smith, this is the first time this collection will be pressed on “silver bio” vinyl.
Don Cherry – Blue Lake
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/20198
Originally released in 1974 as a Japanese exclusive release, this classic Don Cherry live set is being restored and remastered for the first time this Record Store Day. The show, recorded in Paris in 1971, has been reworked from the original tapes and will be released on a double-LP gatefold.
Flying Lotus – 1983
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19904
Known as a genre-defying producer and visual artist, Flying Lotus has built an impressive catalog of innovation, but it all had to start somewhere. Lotus’s 2006 LP, 1983, has been long out of print until this upcoming RSD. For the first time on vinyl, 1983 arrives via the artist’s own Brainfeeder Records, allowing fans to map the artist’s ever-growing prowess even more clearly.
Freeman – Freeman
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19812
Freeman, George Ween’s band after Ween, released their debut album in 2014 to widespread acclaim, so much so that original pressings go for hundreds of dollars on the resale market. Now, you won’t have to break the bank to get this classic LP on wax. This RSD will see the reissue of Freeman’s self-titled debut, pressed on orange and purple vinyl.
Ghost Funk Orchestra – Live in Europe
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19798
In March of 2025, Ghost Funk Orchestra made its first trip to Europe as a collective, and thankfully, part of the journey has found its way to wax.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Big Fig Wasp
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19829
Having Fun Records returns with another addition to their King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard “bootleg” series.

Adrianne Lenker – Live at Revolution Hall
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19826
In the spring of 2025, Big Thief member Adrianne Lenker released a massive 43-song live album that captured a trio of performances, and now you can hold those shows in your hands. Live at Revolution Hall will be pressed across three standard black vinyl for the first time this RSD.

https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19825

This 2026 RSD edition will be pressed on deep blue vinyl.
McCoy Tyner & Bobby Hutcherson – The Seeker
https://recordstoreday.com/SpecialRelease/19895
While consistently buzzed-about amongst jazz circles, the working partnership between McCoy Tyner and Bobby Hutcherson has always been a mysterious one. The two titans crossed paths a few times, but rarely shared the stage. Thankfully, one of those rare occurrences was captured on record, and it’s now yours to own. The Seeker is a rare, previously unreleased live recording in which Tyner’s trio welcomed Hutcherson onstage for a set featuring originals and standards. The pressing will be a hand-numbered, limited-edition release on double black vinyl.
