Record Store Day is April 18, 2026! Here's what you need to
know about what to expect at Monster!

Check out the Record Store Day list here:
https://monstermusicsc.com/RSD2026 We order every single
title. There may be one or two that fell through the cracks and
we didn't get, but for the most part we'll be pretty well stocked.
There are a few titles that are uber limited but very in-demand,
and which we only got one or two copies. We wish we could
materialize more out of thin air, but it is what it is. The list this
year is a strong one, so we hope that you find a couple things
you're excited about, even if you miss the one you really wanted.

Storewide sale: 20% off all new vinyl, CD, DVD (excluding
RSD titles), 40% off all used vinyl, CD, DVD etc, 40% off Funko
Pops, 30% off posters, shirts, stickers, & other pop culture items, 15% off turntables and vinyl accessories.

Sidewalk sale: Thousands of used records & CDs for just $0.25
each!

RECORD STORE DAY EXCLUSIVES: Quantities are limited, thus
we must impose a limit of one per title per person. There can be
no holding, reserving, or preordering of Record Store Day
releases. All sales will be first-come, first-served. Staff will be
present on the sales floor fielding questions and helping you find
what you're looking for.

LINE RULES: We open at 8 am. The line begins whenever the
first person shows up, usually in the very early hours Saturday
morning / Friday night. No setting up phantom chairs & showing
up at the last minute to claim your place. No leaving the line &
coming back at the last minute, no reserving places in line for
people who aren’t there. Please have basic common sense and
respect for others. We WILL have a porta-jon. Leaving the line
for a quick bathroom break is fine, but leaving for breakfast and
coming back after an hour, not so much.

CAPACITY: At no time will we allow more than 100 customers in
the store. At opening, to ensure all RSD releases are fully
browsable, we will allow 75 people in the door. When one checks
out and exits, another may enter. The line will move pretty quickly, so if you're not among the first 75, you won't have to
wait long. We will have bins more spaced out than ever, so there
will not be a scrum over a single area as much, we hope.

IS YOUR STORE WIDE SALE ALSO GOOD ONLINE? Yes, the 20%
off new / 40% off used will be good online. However, we're going
to be pretty busy, so we're not going to be pulling any orders that
day. Processing time will be a little longer than normal.

IF YOU SELL OUT OF AN RSD TITLE, WILL YOU GET IT BACK IN?
It's possible. We won't know for sure in most cases, but we will
try. The ones that are super limited, it's probably not happening.

Happy Record Store Day, and thank you for visiting an indie
record store!
