Record Store Day 2026

Record Store Day 2026 will take place on Saturday 18th April.
Where can I find details of records being released on Record Store Day?
The full list can be found on the official Record Store Day website here.
Can I pre-order / reserve Record Store Day products?
Stores are bound by the Record Store Day code of conduct which prohibits them from reserving the product for customers or allowing customers to pre-order products. Record Store Day is about the occasion and visiting the store is part of the enjoyment. Consequently, records will be sold on a first come, first served basis!
Will Slide Record Shop be selling all 500+ of the titles released on Record Store Day?
No! We're only little. You can see we expect to have in stock HERE.
How will the day work at Slide ?
Here is what you need to know:
- Slide is located in the Victorian Arcade in Bedford which is locked overnight. If you arrive before the shutters open please queue at the Harpur Street entrance.
- Please respect our neighbours' when queuing inside The Arcade, by keeping entrances clear.
- Doors open at 8:00am.
- As always releases are sold on a first come first served basis and it is one copy of a release per person.
- RSD releases will be kept behind the counter in the morning and we'll be operating a queue system into the shop, managed by our lovely friend Dave.
- Please bear in mind some releases are very, very limited and we won't have received as many as we would have liked. If there is a record you have your heart set on we recommend arriving early.
- Any questions - just ask!
