Can I pre-order Meso-Americans Live 1982?

No. Record Store Day releases can’t be pre-ordered. Shops put them on sale on the day, so if you want a copy, ask your local independent shop whether they’ve ordered it.

What if Meso-Americans Live 1982 sells out on the day?

Some shops list leftover copies online after the day. Be wary of resale listings well above the retail price. If it comes back in stock, it’ll be in our weekly email.
