Heavy breathing or underwhelmed sigh?

Though the official rundown of this year’s Record Store Day exclusives has yet to be announced, industrious Reddit users have begun compiling a preemptive list of expected releases, reports Exclaim.

The incomplete list contains French reissue exclusives, presumably from one distributor, omitting many major labels, North American and additional European releases.

As expected, the list includes records by David Bowie, Prince and Aretha Franklin, alongside our standout – a long-awaited reissue of Ziad Rabhani’s super-rare Lebanese disco gem Abu Ali.

Record Store Day 2019’s official UK list will be announced on Thursday 28th February. Check out the tentative releases below.
