Amoeba Music

Record Store Day is a global celebration of record stores, our unique culture, and the important role record stores play in our local communities. This year is the 15th annual Record Store Day! Although the pandemic affected RSD over the last two years, this year we are back to having one big celebratory day in April. Visit any Amoeba store on Saturday, April 23rd for hundreds of limited edition releases available only at indie record stores.

As you have probably experienced, there have been significant pressing and shipping delays with vinyl over the last few years, so the Record Store Day folks are preparing for an RSD Drops date on June 18. This drop will serve as a street date safety net, for titles that are part of the Record Store Day celebration, but for any number of reasons beyond controlling, cannot make it into stores on April 23.

There is one list of Record Store Day titles this year, which includes the titles that will be available in April and any that will be coming in June. As we become aware of issues for any specific title, that title will move to the RSD Drops date.

We will have hundreds of limited edition exclusive releases available at our stores on April 23rd. View / Download the PDF List of 2022 Record Store Day Titles.
 

RSD product is limited to stock on hand and available on a first come, first served basis. No holds, no phone orders. Limit one copy per title per customer. We cannot accept any store coupons on RSD releases.

Record Store Day titles will be available in-store only at Amoeba on Saturday, April 23rd. Remaining titles will be added online starting Sunday, April 24th at 5am PT. As always with these limited edition titles, there are no pre-orders allowed.

Please note: we are not shipping international orders.

Amoeba Hollywood and Amoeba San Francisco use a menu system with our staff pulling Record Store Day titles for customers in the morning. Customers who want RSD titles will line up outside in the morning and fill out their menus. If you don't want the limited edition Record Store Day titles, you are welcome to come in the store and shop normally. Amoeba staffers will collect the menus in order and give customers a clip to retrieve their bag. It is very important that you hang on to this clip as it is how you will pick up your RSD items.

We will fill each customer's request for RSD items in order to ensure that the items are being sold fairly according to their place in line. Once the bags are filled, they will be waiting for the customer at the registers in SF & LA. Hand the employee your clip to claim your bag. You can go over your menu, compare it to the items in your bag, and put back anything you may not want at that time. Watch this short video to see how the menu system works.

Please note: Amoeba Berkeley will put Record Store Day releases on the floor and is not using the menu system.

Amoeba Hollywood will be open 11AM - 9PM on Saturday, April 23rd. The Trade Counter will be closed all day, but will handle returns/exchanges as needed.

Customers will line up for RSD titles on Hollywood Blvd. Customers who do not want RSD titles and just want to shop the sales floor can line up on Argyle.
