What is RSD Essential?
RSD Essential (Record Store Day Essential) is a unique initiative created to support independent record stores year-round. Unlike the traditional Record Store Day events that take place once a year, the series is an ongoing range of carefully selected titles considered indispensable in any serious music collection. The goal is to keep the most iconic albums available in exclusive formats, and at iMusic, we always make sure to source the latest RSD Essentials for our selection.
Exclusive vinyl pressings and collectibles
What makes RSD Essentials something special for collectors are the unique visual presentations. Each release is often pressed on limited edition colored vinyl – everything from "splatter" patterns to marbled effects. When you buy RSD Essentials, you don't just get the music, but a piece of curated art for your record player.
The series spans widely across genres and generations, making it possible for any vinyl enthusiast to find something relevant in our assortment of RSD Essentials. All kinds of genres and bands are represented, from rock and metal to pop and hip-hop.
