For the second consecutive year, Record Store Day will not be celebrated as a singular holiday. Rather, to allow for safe, socially-distant line standing and record browsing, the annual event will be divided up into two “RSD Drops” taking place on June 12th and July 17th. There’s still plenty of intriguing vinyl slabs to be had, you’ll just have to attend both days to collect ’em all.

This year’s notable releases include a pair of picture disc reissues from The Cure; a special 12-inch release of Pearl Jam’s “Alive”; The Flaming Lips’ The Soft Bulletin Companion on vinyl for the first time; a 7-inch from St. Vincent featuring covers of Nine Inch Nails and Metallica; and a live album from Rage Against the Machine.

And that’s just scratching the surface. Below, you’ll find 35 RSD titles that piqued our interest, including releases from Beastie Boys, Tom Petty, Gorillaz, Björk, Gorillaz, and Freddie Gibbs and Madlib. You can find the full list on RSD’s website.
