Record Store Day 2022 takes place on Saturday, April 23, and this year’s list of titles has been released. Among the artists with exclusive offerings is Record Store Day global ambassador Taylor Swift, who is releasing a 7″ of “The Lakes.” Other notable releases include David Bowie’s Brilliant Adventure and Toy EPs; a new reissue of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Live Seeds; a picture disc of Kacey Musgraves’ Star-Crossed; an orange LP of St. Vincent’s The Nowhere Inn; a CD release of Lil Wayne’s Sorry 4 the Wait; a vinyl release of Chief Keef’s Sorry 4 the Weight (Deluxe Edition); and more.

Record Store Day returns to a one-day affair after pivoting to varied RSD Drops dates for 2020 and 2021. There will still be an RSD Drops day this year (on June 18) “for titles that are part of the Record Store Day celebration, but for any number of reasons beyond controlling, can’t make it into stores on April 23,” according to the Record Store Day website.
