Record Store Day (US)

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Record Store Day will be celebrated in all our stores in the US on April 12th. Our stores will be open from 9am, where we will be selling the RSD Exclusive titles directly. Any leftover stock will be available online in the US from 8am on April 13th.

In-store

  • Record Store Day titles will be sold exclusively from our new store located in the Rockefeller Center/47-50 Street Subway Station.

  • To access on RSD - the queue will start from The Tonight Show NBC entrance on 6th Ave, 10 yards up from Rough Trade Above (Formally Rough Trade NYC).

  • We will be providing picking lists to people in the queue where you will be asked to fill in your sheet and hand it to a staff member when you reach the front.

  • A Rough Trade staff member will select the titles for you, if they are still available. Once you have received the copies, you will pay for them at the till.

  • Please note - customers are restricted to only 1 copy per person.

  • Please note further - the stock is limited and some titles run out very fast on the day. Please arrive early if you want to increase your chances of getting the title you want.

  • We have free live music and refreshments at all our stores, so once you've grabbed your record, stay and celebrate with us.

  • Remember - we are working hard to try to get as many records to as many people as possible, in the quickest time possible, and your patience is very much appreciated. Any aggression to staff members or other customers will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave the premises.

Online

  • We will sell our leftover stock online in the US from 8am (ET) on April 13th.

  • Some titles will sell out in the days preceding, so not all titles will be available to purchase.

  • Some titles will not be available in the US region, and will also not be available to buy online, even if they are present on the site.

  • We will be running a digital queuing system to prevent overloading the website, please be patient as you will get on, even if you have to wait. You will be placed in a waiting room 10 minutes before the online sale launch.

  • Please note - customers are still only restricted to only 1 copy per person.

  • Please note further - you will not be able to use promo codes on RSD titles, however you can still use store credit / gift cards.
