Can I pre-order Besides?

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 Besides sells out on the day?

Some shops list leftover copies online after the day. RSD First releases can also come to other shops later. Be wary of resale listings well above the retail price. If it comes back in stock, it’ll be in our weekly email.
