Special Releases From VAN HALEN, MÖTLEY CRÜE, DIO, MR. BIG, DEATH, ERIC CARR, MOTÖRHEAD, ENSLAVED, UFO And More Available For Record Store Day 2023

Record Store Day 2023 is scheduled for Saturday, April 22, and the list of available product for this year's event has just been released.

There are three categories on the list:

1. Exclusives: These titles are physically released only at indie record stores.

2. RSD First: These titles are found first at indie record stores but may be released to other retailers or webstores at some point in the future.

3. Small Run/Regional Titles: These titles are either regionally based and sold at specific stores, or are press runs under 1,000, which means they may be harder to find at record stores around the country. The majority of the titles on this section of the List are Small Run titles; any title that's regionally based and most likely to be found at specific stores will have that called out in the description, which can be found on the web-based version of the List.

Of interest to BraveWords readers are limited edition titles from Mötley Crüe, Motörhead, Van Halen, Eric Carr, Dio, Enslaved, and many more.
