The rules

RSD is THE special day in the record calendar, but there are some rules and regulations surrounding it, so here's the rules and some advice surrounding the day.

Strictly first come, first served.

All RSD titles are limited to just one copy per person, with zero exceptions.

No holdovers.

Stock is purchasable only instore on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th, before making it's way online at 8pm on Monday 20th.

There will be a queue, and stock is limited, naturally meaning the further up the queue you are, the more likely you are to get your stuff.

Firstly, the competition.

Create your RSD gig poster featuring your favourite artists from the RSD list, fill out your details and then hit finalise (the button will redirect to the RSD website, don't panic).

Save the poster to your camera roll and share it on your stories on your social media channels.

Tag @bendingsoundrecords & @recordstoredayuk

That's it, that's all you need to do. On Friday 17th we will randomly select one entry and that person will win store credit against the entirety of their RSD list/poster.
