Def Leppard's Rock And Roll Hall of Fame vinyl EP for Record Store Day 2020 will now come out in October.

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

The organisers have just announced a new updated release list and that the event will be postponed for a second time.

It will now take place on three separate dates on 29th August, 26th September and 24th October.

Def Leppard's release will be out on the 24th October date which is being called "RSD Drop October".

It will come out earlier in the USA on 29th August.

The event had already been postponed in March to 20th June.

All of the Def Leppard and related releases have been updated below.


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 - June 2020 News Update

As announced earlier this year, Record Store Day as it has come to be known will not be celebrated in 2020. Instead there are three RSD 'Drop Dates' in which you can get hold of the RSD titles from local record shops: August 29, September 26 or October 24. You can find the 2020 releases and their new Drop Dates on the RSD website or you can download a copy of that list here! Now would be a great time to find those releases you really want and let your local record shop know what you would like them to order in for you.

While we’d all love nothing more than a party at our local record stores, large groups just aren’t the right thing right now. Those independently-owned community businesses remain essential, in our eyes, and may need the revenue brought in by the sales of the sought-after titles on the Record Store Day 2020 List this year more than any other.More details on what social distancing measures will be put in place by each store will be issued closer to the time and releases will be made available online from participating record shop websites at 6pm.
