Which Record Store Day releases can you still buy?

Records pressed for Record Store Day are distributed only to participating shops, so the only ones you can buy later are the ones that did not sell on the day.

Right now 11 RSD-pressed titles are still stocked at US sellers we can see, at a median of $30.99 — ordinary new-record money, not collector money.

Envy of None Record Store Day 2023 picture disc, a clear vinyl record printed with a photograph of two figures in nurse uniforms — A picture disc from Record Store Day 2023, still in stock in 2026 at $42.99. Picture discs are the format most likely to be left over: they are collected, and they sound worse than plain vinyl.

What is actually in the leftovers

Kind of release	Listings	Median ask
RSD-pressed records at record retailers	11	$30.99
RSD-branded merchandise on resale	11	$28.00
Everything naming Record Store Day	22	$29.49

Half of everything carrying the Record Store Day name in this pull is not a record at all. It is merchandise on peer-to-peer resale: shop tees from 2014 and 2020, promo shirts, tote bags, even a pair of exclusive-edition chukka boots. That is a real market, and it is the one place where the RSD name reliably carries a premium — a store tee from a specific year cannot be reissued.

Our judgment on the records themselves: the leftovers skew towards compilations, picture discs and catalogue reissues, which is exactly what you would predict. Buyers on the day chase the artist pressings that are genuinely scarce. If a title is still sitting on a shelf in September, its scarcity was in the packaging rather than the demand.

How the event works, briefly

Record Store Day was established in 2008 to celebrate independently owned record stores, and the first one ran on 19 April 2008, launched by Metallica at a shop in Mountain View, California, with roughly 300 US stores taking part.
A list of releases is pressed for each country and distributed only to participating shops. That is why these records do not appear at general retailers, then or later.
By 2010 some 1,400 independent stores were taking part, and that year introduced the November edition, Black Friday Record Store Day.
The event now runs semi-annually: a Saturday in April, typically the third, plus every Black Friday.

Honest empty: no seller in these feeds publishes the pressing size of any release above, and none photographs a hype sticker or a numbered jacket. Nothing here is verified as an official RSD pressing beyond the seller's own title, and no 2026 Black Friday RSD list has been published anywhere we can read.

Last verified 1 September 2026 against 22 live US listings naming Record Store Day in the CJ product feed. Peer-to-peer asks of $500 or more are excluded as seller placeholders, as are repdigit asks such as $999 and $9,999. Asking prices are what sellers want on this date; they are not sold prices.

Buying Record Store Day releases, asked plainly

Can you still buy Record Store Day releases after the day?

Sometimes. Records pressed for Record Store Day go only to participating shops, and whatever does not sell on the day stays on those shelves rather than going to general retail. That leftover stock is what this page lists: 11 RSD-pressed titles still in US feeds today.

How much do leftover Record Store Day records cost?

The 11 still-stocked pressings here run $14.99 to $54.99 with a median of $30.99 — ordinary new-record pricing rather than a collector premium. The premium lives on titles that sold out, which are not in these feeds.

When is Record Store Day?

Twice a year: one Saturday in April, typically the third, and every Black Friday in November. The November edition, Black Friday Record Store Day, launched in November 2010.

Are Record Store Day exclusives worth buying to resell?

Most are not. The pressings that hold value are the ones that sell out on the day; anything still sitting in stock months later is priced like a normal record because that is what the market decided it is.
