RSD DROPS

RECORD STORE DAY - APRIL 20TH - LUNCHBOX RECORDS

We open at 8AM Saturday, April 20th, then close at 6PM. 

RSD titles will be here, available for order for LOCAL PICKUP the day after the event, Sunday April 21st at 8:00 AM.  

We're so excited for RSD in 2024! It's a great list and we are going to do our best to make this a great experience for all of our wonderful customers! To find out more about this year's releases, here's a link to the COMPLETE RSD LIST! 

We are checking in RSD items all week and this page won't be 100% accurate until Thursday, April 18 in the evening (hopefully). As we check items, they will show at the BOTTOM of this page.

This page is designed to answer the most commonly asked questions we get leading up to RSD, however if you have anything that's not answered here, please shoot us an email at info@lunchboxrecords.com. These RSD events are dedicated to independent brick & mortar record stores and the products offered are designed to incentivize folks to go visit their local record store. 

You cannot pre-order or have RSD items placed on hold, as this violates the pledge we have signed with RSD, so please don't ask. 

Some titles may have been canceled or bumped. There is a list of those here:

JIMMY CLIFF, LOVEJOY, ASTRUD GILBERTO, OMD-BAUHAUS STARICASE, WICKED

A few very important notes regarding online orders: 

•RSD items will be available only for LOCAL PICKUP on our site at 8:00 AM Sunday. This is to make sure that local customers that have supported us get a chance first since we understand some people do not want to cannot get to the shop on RSD. When you check out you must choose "Local Pickup" on the cart information page. If you don't it won't let you check out. If you do order this way and don't live in NC we will cancel your order. 

•Each person is allowed to buy one copy per RSD title. If you try to buy multiple copies you will not be allowed to check out and will receive a message telling you which items violate the policy. This is in fairness to everyone to make sure as many people get their wants as possible. . Any orders containing duplicates of individual titles are subject to immediate cancellation. Any orders containing multiple copies of a title going to the same address is subject to cancellation.

•Items in your cart are NOT reserved for you. Our cart system works like MANY other online retailers, in that items are not reserved until the checkout process is completed. 

• If you don’t see Add To Cart" buttons after they go live, refresh your browser to clear out cookies.

• We DO NOT ship internationally. Many of the distributors we source product from have export restrictions and we would risk losing our accounts with them if we were to sell internationally. Sorry! Please do not order items, choose pickup and then try to get us to ship to you overseas. Your order will be canceled. 

•Please do not park next door in the gravel lot (901 Central). Our neighbor is not nice and will boot your car. He even booted our plumber. There is on-street parking available throughout the neighborhood.
