Record Store Day 2013: The Massive List of Exclusives Announced So Far

BY Alex HudsonPublished Mar 4, 2013

Much like in years past, Record Store Day has lined up a huge list of releases that will be coming exclusively to independent retails this spring. While there are still lots of announcements to come before the big day on April 20, we already have a massive list of limited-edition releases that will be coming our way.

To help you keep track of it all, here is a breakdown of some of the most promising releases that have been confirmed so far, many of which we've found out about via the efforts of the good folks over at Wax Poetic. Some of these have already been reported, but many have not. And remember to stay tuned for further announcements, since more goodies are bound to be announced in the coming weeks.

UPDATE (March 8): As expected, a massive amount of new exclusives have been announced since originally publishing this list. To help you keep on top of everything, we've added over 100 new titles below. So get scrolling and see what new goodies will be up for grabs.

UPDATE 2 (March 19): All right, another big update. We've been adding more titles almost daily, and now you'll find recent RSD goodies from Caribou, Ryan Adams' new band Pornography, Ty Segal, Thee Oh Sees, OMD and a pile more.

UPDATE 3 (March 21): The folks at Record Store Day have release the full list of "official" exclusives on their website, and you can check everything out here. However, you'll notice some of the releases listed below aren't on RSD's list, but just because they don't have that official stamp of approval doesn't make them of any less of value.
