27:44 you said it man. Its a beautiful gift you’ll always have the kind you take with you to the place you can’t take your records

[@arzabael]

Never knew how much I wanted to see a solo Elton concert, or realized how especially in this point in history, a solo show means worlds more than a fully compensated production with lots of help

[@robertmitchell6015]

Hi Mike I love RSD unfortunately in Australia not many stores participate anymore and the prices are a huge issue E.G Oasis is $250 Dada $130 Most other titles are over $100 This will be the demise of RSD in Australia Someone please listen to us Down Under and do something about the pricing

[@craigsandry6737]

Album prices in general in Australia are ridiculous

[@arzabael]

My friend you’re preaching to the choir in America. Prices have gone up around the whole world, and Australia’s seem higher then America because inflation not actual higher prices. The oasis will be around 170$ which is almost 250$ in Australian dollars. The price of milk eggs bread gasoline electricity everything has gone up, along with all of our means and paychecks, but we always refuse to move with the times and stop seeing things today the way we saw them twenty years ago, such as how 100$ use to be a lot, now it’s only a lot through psychologically because it’s not a lot anymore and your government can’t actually do anything about that it’s the rest of the world that calibrates all these things to be what they are. If you want to truly know if something has actually gone up in price without having a reason you need to use be British pound as the reference. Because right now there are Brit’s saying “omg the oasis is 130£ that’s so unheard of” but if they were saying it’s higher than 130£ than it wouldn’t be natural inflation it would just be raised prices because it’s not matching the price with the nations 1/1 inflation ratio. My point is please don’t ask the government to save the people from high record prices, if they could do anything they’d be doing it elsewhere and not within the record industry and the effects would lead to the record industry and we’d get what we want, but there are too many world owners who transcend world government who like the world being the way it is right now. So go along and get along friend because people being born today will always see 250$ Australian dollars as a big dinner maybe

[@davidgehring4194]

I think this is a great list with The Doors, STP, Alan Parsons Project, Lennon, the Jet demos and live songs, etc…but I enjoy RSD and chatting in line and the festive atmosphere of the day as well as the live camera in the shop to watch later with the running comments.

[@arzabael]

Yes precisely record store day is about all the festivity and people you talk to. Most of what I consider record store day is actually happening the night before outside the shop you’ve chosen to camp in front of

[@elvis.on.velvet]

Lisa Germano’s Geek the Girl is a grail of sorts to me. Never released on vinyl (until now) despite landing a spot on a few notable best of the 90s lists. Never thought it would see the light of day.

[@jpriot]

I attended that KEXP in studio with Frankie and the Witch Fingers. INSANE!!

[@jpcastrianni]

It started with indie labels doing 7”s was because indie labels who are the ones who kept vinyl alive during the lean years.

[@LifelongMusicJunkie]

Hey Mike, the Mastering Engineer (Carl Rawatti) who is doing the Rolling Stones album all analog has cut a Pittman pressing of The Doors "Waiting For The Sun" and has lots of older bands on his resume. Hopefully he can still hear well and does a great job! Cheers

[@jride1213]

I would love to grab the 2 Shudder to Think records off of you the next day. I live in Switzerland now and they're not on the Germany RSD list, so if you have those, I'll definitely order them!

[@Dorgon]

I'm one of the people with the dada album. I brought it to a show to have them sign. So excited to get a listening copy because the one I have does not sound great!

[@festersuncle6298]

2 or 3 decent titles for me. I'll wait and causally buy.

[@marcallain]

Super hyped for the Zevon releases!

[@joeldeal9878]

Piano Fighter, Jazz Dispensary, Hindu Love Gods, Alex Chilton, Marcus King, Stones, Elton and Dada

[@petejuvinall]

The Passengers (U2\Brian Eno) re-issue is really needed. The OG pressing is really expensive. I'm really looking forward to taht.

[@mrdougefresh]

Thanks, Mike. I live in NYC and always buy some Grateful Dead the next day from you so this year, so I’m looking forward to those releases + the Jerry Garcia Band and Stones releases. However, question for you. You only mentioned one jazz release, what do you think of the West Montgomery/Wynton Kelly and Mingus Monterey releases?

[@renemies78]

I'm looking forwards to the Doors- Strange Days work in progress, George Harrison- All Things Must Pass Zoetrope Edition, STP Live in 94, Air- Moon Safari- Demos & Live, John Lennon & Yoko Ono- Live One To One Concert 1972, Rage Against The Machine- Live in 1993, Rolling Stones- Out of Our Heads (US Version), Supergrass- I Should Coco (30th Anniversary), Wasp- the last Command. That's a lot of releases for me. I'm usually only interested in one or two releases. Good year so far for RSD 2025!

[@craigsandry6737]

Wow , is your name Elon Musk ? 😂

[@renemies78]

@craigsandry6737 I want these. Doesn't mean I can afford them. 🤣

[@craigsandry6737]

@@renemies78 😂👌

[@timothysmith83]

Great rundown video, you put the Stones album on my radar. Prob will get Elton, Harrison (both titles), Neil Finn of Crowded House, maybe Dada album everybody talking about. The 2003 Bowie also a must. Better start saving, lol!

[@PTJarman]

DADA Puzzle is outstanding. Found a Brazil copy just last month, one of my grails for sure. That and The Grays record, Jet and The Stones mono album will get me in line early.

[@austinhunt4260]

Mike, any chance we can see your BIRTH OF THE BLUE review sometime?

[@spectrum_archives]

Finally a reissue of the debut album from Lianne La Havas. And the Sun Ra box on Strut Records!!

[@theqrm]

Stayed until I noticed the Gwen Stefani poster over his shoulder... 🙂

[@flipmcneil551]

Doors and Talking Heads are what I’m looking for.

[@myles7522]

Love reading the different takes that folk want on RSD…Top of my list is the Stones 👍

[@isherrod13]

Thank you Mike. I want the Wall of Voodoo plus 22 other titles.

[@dimebagdave77]

Thanks man, Prince looks very cool✌️🤘

[@djjoeykmusic]

Hi DBD, have a SUPER day and an amazing week! Blessings my brother!

[@dimebagdave77]

@djjoeykmusic the very same to you brother ✌️

[@floogee]

Hey Mike. Mike from DC here. In addition to some of your choices I am VERY much interested in the Zevon box and Gabriel’s “OVO” Somehow missed the Blue Note on the list so thanks. DADA too. Agree about Resonance, btw

[@MKtheC]

Swifties are nuts with endless vinyl money 💰. My two daughters bought tics for a TS concert, then months later saw big $$ signs when tics were reselling for thousands. They had absolute nose bleeds bought for $140 each. Sold em for $2600 each !! 😮. Lmao 😜 love my girls.

[@dbronx347]

wow, lots to look forward to. STP, Jazz Dispensary, Mulligan meets Monk, Kenny Dorham, Cowboy Junkies!

[@theheepster]

I think it is a very good list. My favorite Albums are Collective Soul - Blender (first time on Vinyl) and Soul Slabs Vol. 4 and JJ Grey and Mofro - Orange Blossoms on 2-LP 45 rpm (great Record first time on Vinyl). Cheers from🇩🇪

[@markdecker2112]

I'm in for the Harry Potter soundtracks, the Sting Live album, Yes live album, Bill Evans Further Ahead, the Mulligan meets Monk album you also mentioned, and the I Robot work in progress

[@jeffblack4268]

My RSD wants, Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Elton John and dada.

[@TonyHarrison-dk1ey]

[@PickupthePieces76]

This year RSD is actually on the same day as the Den Bosch record fair (I live nearby). It's the biggest in the world. Kinda bad timing. Mostly for the dealers. But that's gonna be an expensive weekend.

[@Mark-j5h2b]

Looking forward to the live stream again this year. I’ll be looking at a lot of the jazz offerings, John Williams, Laufey, Charley MCX, Taylor Swift, and maybe a few others.

[@billthompson80]

Really looking forward to Post Malone’s Nirvana cover album, really enjoyed the show on KZbin during COVID.

[@dtkincaid]

I have to say I'm most excited about the Dead Sara record

[@lorentoy1994]

RSD 2025 Titles I'm looking forward to: Doctor Who, Dwarves, Bill Evans, Emmylou Harris/Spyboy, Laufey, Mingus (Argentina), Mingus (Monterey), Wes Montgomery/Wynton Kelly Trio, Oasis, RATM, Blue Note Alts 'N Outs, The Veronicas. From the UK List: Art Pepper, Shakespears Sister, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

[@billramey5994]

You didn’t miss anything with the Grammys. The best thing to happen was an interview beforehand where an interviewer confused Courtney from Spiritbox for Poppy. If you haven’t seen it look for I am Poppy, it’s genius level trolling by Courtney.

[@Element115-75]

Yeah, that was a great interview piece !lol

[@Stickermania2853]

You missed THE QUEEN OF POPS, Sabrina Carpenter, Charlie XCX, & CHAPPELL Roan. Chappell is a STAR! Mr Stickermania

[@jerrycoffey1782]

Hope you do some unboxing videos for RDS 25

[@HarveyShoemakers]

Maitreya Kali (Craig Smith) Apache/Inca is the one I want.

[@jimbullington2862]

The passengers!

[@juliosanchez95]

I want the Camper Van Beethoven, Monk Mulligan, Out of our heads, and Charlie Brown Jazz Impressions (alternate takes).

[@LPS-R-US]

I like this RSD LIST. Oh yeah.

[@RobGordon35]

Thanks MIke

[@ratpinscher]

I want that Alan Parson's

[@dannyallen8471]

Hope to get Paul Hardcastle, Rolling Stones, Elton and Marcus King.

[@tubinonyou]

My must-haves are: Grateful Dead - 6/14/76 Mingus - Buenos Aires Mulligan Meets Monk Talking Heads Cleveland '78

[@TheDreamtimezzz]

I like watching the profiteers trying to charge huge prices for the first few weeks after rsd, but then the prices crash and finally back to somewhat normal. Yes, a few prices go and stay high, but very few. Taylor’s stuff is in a bubble, I wonder how the long term values will pan out once the bubble bursts. 🤔

[@alanabentrod3963]

We did get a Pink Floyd reunion in 2005 @ Live8 that would make a great 4 track EP

[@jakedryzal]

This is a fantastic list. Not too stoked about Taylor Swift personally, but at least it'll support the stores. I'm really looking forward to the Lisa Germano, The House of Love, and The Killers/Bruce Springsteen records. I'm also keen on Pale Saints and Yes.

[@robertmitchell6015]

I am after Thievery Corporation Public image limited

[@damiankirkwood7924]

Thievery for me too I was happy to get richest man in Babylon last time

[@akosalbertoszabo]

We are grateful for all you and your team do everyday Mike! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@danquattro6662]

-Mj lender mans live and loose -George Harrisons all things must pass zoetrope -pil first issue -pond the early years Interested in releases from The talking heads T-rex Thin lizzy The sword Badbadnotgood

[@CornerFreq]

It would be cool to see Wire, Over the Edge OST, The Replacements and Francoise Hardy available.

[@JuanLopez-sz3rj]

Looking forward to "The Eternal Idol" by Black Sabbath.

[@kev5621]

The Rolling Stones in mono box has out of our heads US. I doubt this rsd release will sound better

[@michaelplatt8736]

There was a recent Amazon Music exclusive green vinyl release of Out Of Our Heads *us that was an analogue to digital master. Will the RSD version be another Master or the same one? The Amazon exclusive sounds fantastic.

[@johntishler1199]

I’m going to be looking for Dada, Nathan Davis, Kenny Dorham, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Lianne La Havas, Thelonius Monk, Wes Montgomery/Wynton Kelly, Mulligan/Monk, Prince, Rolling Stones, Shudder to Think Pony Express, Sly & The Family Stone, Talking Heads, Warren Zevon I’ll need to purchase most of these online.

[@TheSTNGRAY]

The Jazz list looks great, wish there were more RnB. Long lines for 1 artist will hurt us for being on a long line.

[@Nuclearmagenta]

When I saw the list I was highly relieved because there was not a single album on it that would be even remotely essential for me to acquire, and I could save myself the time and energy of waiting outdoors in what will likely be frigid temperatures, given how the date has been moved up by a couple of weeks, for an extra long time (given the fact that there is a Taylor Swift product this year). I’m potentially interested in Out of Our Heads as there was a spectacular audiophile pressing of the first UK Stones album issued for Record Store Day in (I believe) 2023. But the lithograph that was included in that was a disappointment visually. (This new Out Of Our Heads release will likewise contain a lithograph). Perhaps the only other RSD album I might be interested in is the set by The Lemonheads. If the Talking Heads set was 33 1/3 RPM I’d consider it, even though I’ve owned this concert on LP for about 45 years. (These LPs like others in the series were issued to radio stations but many found their way to independent record stores back then).

[@mazzysmusic]

Metal Machine Music. I like the new cover . The Zevon Giant Records box

[@domb8448]

I'm not keen on the silver MMM cover - looks like it should be demos and outtakes (can you imagine?!)

[@kingofskateop]

I couldn't find any AAA jazz titles on this list. I assume most of them are digital transfers from the master tapes. Please let me know if there are any.

[@OrganTheGrinder]

Is the door release US only? Don't see anything on the UK lists.

[@dennydude3737]

Despite a big list every year, it'll never satisfy every collector. To be honest it's not a hope for me there will be many wanted records. I get happy when there's nothing I want so I don't spend more money. Lol. I'm not a flipper either and go buy a stack of 20 records to get a nice profit like I've seen. So no reason to get upset on a weak list at all.😂

[@EarlThompson-zd2mk]

RSD: Dada, Cannibal Ferreux, Alan parsons, Rolling Stones, Gerry mulligan, blue note outtakes for me, Mike

[@SaraDixon-zm2bs]

Just not sure why people like this list

[@zackamania6534]

Yeah it’s lame, but a record store owner is NOT going to downplay that

[@chennforajido]

Agreed. Just couldnt find anything for me

[@dank.6942]

Same here. A couple of titles might be interesting if I stumble upon them late in the day or the next day. I just keep thinking to myself, why doesn't anybody put out any real records on record store day? What's with all the live albums nobody's heard of and souvenir garbage? If Taylor Swift is the definition of a good record store day, I want bad record store days.

[@arzabael]

My first reaction. Upon further inspection and with the wish to go to record store day I was able to find stuff to be excited about. Doors Rolling Stones STP post Malone nirvana tribute the Taylor single to sell etc

[@DennisMessier-f1r]

I,m not a fan of the nineties, but in my opinion The Grays: Ro Sham Bo is the best record of the nineties. Hoping you will have for me to buy. Nektar: Back to the Future 50th anniversary would also be great.

[@Pluralofvinylisvinyls]

i can see the ET picture disc on your shelf, don't lie

[@Jamesquarebush]

Hi Mike I remeber the unboxing videos from before the 2020 those were fun so I hope you do more this time. Thx for all you do it means a lot!

[@jjsjr555]

Planning to get the Bowie live and Yes live but the last rsd Yes live does not sound good. Will this new rsd Yes sound better?

[@mdit21]

I thought RSD Black Friday a few years ago had a good selection with Motown reissues.😊

[@alanabentrod3963]

I’m a old fart will be looking for John Lennon and Rolling Stones 😎

[@LouisMazzei]

Stones, Public Image, Shudder To Think, Gorillaz

[@dazzleships]

I’m in the UK and would love to order a couple of US only releases from you - Harvey Danger - ‘King James Version’ + Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci - ‘Barafundle’

[@jpcastrianni]

Real Gone releases are always RSD first.

[@johngaldieri5535]

The list seems lame to me, but I always think that when I first glance it over, and then I usually find about 10 titles that I want :)

[@jayk1534]

Let's see, the Monk/Mulligan, Out of Out Heads, and Blue Note Alts would be my must haves.

[@frankjames6703]

Jailbreak alternative lp

[@damiankirkwood7924]

Too many live albums just like always

[@malfait16]

Celia Cruz Doors Bill Evans K Frimpong JGB Freddie Hubbard La LOM Nick Mason Meters Mingus × 2 Monk Wes Montgomery STP T Rex Talking Heads Thin Lizzy Jazz Dispensary

[@justinsmith6332]

You are apparently Mike

[@Gomolka59]

Maybe I’m just getting old… and I am, but there is absolutely nothing on this list for me. First time this has happened. All “too cool for me” bands and artists I’ve never heard of or crap from a few established artists. No sale!

[@mikeroeder]

I did some digging into the Alts 'n Outs release and these have all been released on the CD releases of these albums. I made a youtube playlist of these songs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX_Hc4ubbrOqbJY

[@COLLYD420]

3:26 pronouncing it wrong for years 😊

[@drumvc8060]

I always enjoy RSD, but this year's list is pretty underwhelming for me, no more than three titles of interest as things stand.

[@johnlovesbridge]

Thompson Twins live 1984, but I've realized I'm not much of a fan of live albums.

[@timgibson3754]

Are you allowed to say Swift is talentless?

[@mazzysmusic]

Is the Stones mono or stereo? Because I thnk the US stereo was originally rechanneled for stereo.

[@sigvestangeland7225]

It’s from the original mono tapes.

[@sonicassassin4131]

Weather Report - live 71, Judas Priest - live 82, Residents - Left Overs Again, Motörhead - Lost Tapes Vol. 6, Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak (Alternative)

[@Diesel65-tl3zv]

STP, Dokken, Priest Live Saxon maybe Better Than Ezra I’m Doored out after the Rhino Box Set I have all I need also picture disc not for me,

[@BeatlesOasisFan]

WTF is with Taylor Swift?

[@DC-xx4kv]

Mike, you continue to butcher Ennio Morricone‘s name. Please stop!

[@davidclark9409]

You are such a cut above all the other record stores. Mike, I was curious, talking about film scores - Did Angel take her films score with her? Non of my business, just curious.

[@robbiedetroitstigermanviny8883]

Yawn, Yawn, and Yawn!!!

[@JJ-qs9hu]

The list is quite crap. Live albums, demos, and albums getting repressed that don't need it. There is maybe one thing I'm interested in and it's has 1000 copies so I doubt I'll get it. Not standing in line this year. Good luck to those who find any of this interesting enough to spend money on.

[@fabiouk6764]

I lost interest in RSripoffD

[@mymixture965]

John Williams is a big copy cat, so Morricone is better because he is 100% original. Listen to classical music, get educated and you will find a lot of the "inspiration" of John Williams, sometimes it is embracing.

[@bigdaddy7862]

Not sure what is so great about this list?? Not impressed

[@michaelb8171]

All while Taylor Swift is getting booed at the Super Bowl😂

[@Mark-j5h2b]

Yes, the same fans who applauded Trump. Says something about NFL fans…

[@michaelb8171]

Keep hating on America baby! 😂

[@Cornflake81]

Football fans and especially Eagles fans booing Swift, big shock. So weird that grown adults get all about this stuff.

[@robotglock6909]

jeezus lizard hell, just got done watching the Super Bowl, click on this video and right away hear about, who else, Taylor freaking Swift...argh. Doors are an awful band with minuscule talent
