Cassette Releases for Record Store Day – April 20th 2024

It is a long list this time out for Record Store Day. I went through and pulled out all the tapes you might be able to find if you are out looking on Saturday. Have a seat and brace yourself…

• Black Breath – Box Set RSD 24 Exclusive.

End of list.

Yep, one cassette that is buried inside a box set. One. You can look for yourself, good luck finding something.

At least that is all that I saw as I went through the list. If you are an indie cassette label or band releasing a tape for Record Store Day, please let me know.

And yes, I know it’s RECORD Store Day and not Cassette Store Day. But there is no such thing as Cassette Store Day, even though there should be (maybe you and I should start it). So we need to glam-onto RSD.

Really though, the term Record Store, in this kind of context means a store that sells music. So it doesn’t have to be vinyl. It’s all music formats. Why are the cassette releases so weak?

I am probably missing something. Somebody has gotta be doing something for RSD in the cassette community that I am not aware of. If so, please clue me in.

Anway, enjoy some Black Breath at least:
