Def Leppard 2020. RSD 2020

Def Leppard's Rock And Roll Hall of Fame vinyl EP for Record Store Day 2020 has now been delayed.

The official list of releases for Record Store Day 2020 were announced on 5th March.

Unfortunately, and for obvious reasons, Record Store Day 2020 has been postponed to 20th June.

Read the full statement below.

In related news the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony itself for this year was recently postponed.


The band will release the 'Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame' live 12" vinyl.

The fifth time the band have been involved in Record Store Day.

Record Store Day takes place on Saturday 18th April this year.

This follows the 2019 RSD release of 'The Story So Far Vol. 2' double LP.

The release was first mentioned by Joe during a December 2019 interview when he said the band were releasing 'something special' for Record Store Day.

Joe is also involved in two other releases from the Down 'n' Outz and the Doctors Of Madness album he guested on which was first released in 2019.


Record Store Day UK Quotes

Record Store Day 2020 postponed to June 20th

This decision comes at a time of unprecedented uncertainty and the health and safety of the general public must come first.

Record Store Day is a worldwide event involving thousands of people and small businesses—In our discussions over the last few weeks, as information came and changed daily, and then hourly, we’ve taken all of them into consideration as we go over various options: Stay the course. Move the date. Change the structure of the event. No one knows what things will look like in any given place in the next five weeks, and decisions for that time period need to be made now, using current facts.

There is no perfect solution. There is no easy answer. We’ve decided that the best of all possible moves is to change the date of Record Store Day this year to Saturday, June 20.

We think this gives stores around the world the best chance to have a profitable, successful Record Store Day, while taking into consideration the recommendations of doctors, scientists, the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and the need to be good citizens of both local and worldwide communities.

We’re working with all of our partners and our stores to make this change as smooth as possible for everyone who participates in Record Store Day: customers, record stores, artists, labels and more. Record Store Day is everywhere and we want to hold our party when everyone can gather around safely to celebrate life, art, music and the culture of the indie record store.

(And hey! Anything with the April 18, 2020 on it just became that much more special!)
