Record Store Day (@recordstoreday) is this Saturday and the folks behind the annual event taking place at independent record stores across the globe have begun showcasing some of the special releases set to be issued. In a handful of tweets they’ve started sharing links, images and other details about the limited edition (mostly) vinyl products. We shared some details on the Phish Junta Record Store Day package earlier this week, and as you’ll see below the @recordstoreday account is already fielding questions about the 3-LP set.



Hey @, that #RSD12 release you got there sure is pretty. @ http://t.co/mYg2kTcX

Chris Brown of Bull Moose sits down with a whole mess of Record Store Day 2012 releases and gives us a look at what they look like in real life.  Expect pretty etched discs, surprise colored vinyl and a genuinely charming reaction to a special Buck Owens release.
DISCLAIMER: Not all the items talked about here (commercial releases or the free stuff) will be available at all stores.
