Squeeze co-founder Glenn Tilbrook is here to discuss the band's fantastic new album Trixies, featuring the current lineup of the beloved London, England based band bringing to life a concept album full of songs that Tilbrook and co-founder Chris Difford first wrote together over 50 years ago, well before they'd even recorded their debut album with producer John Cale. The result is arguably the band's strongest album in decades. We also look back on Squeeze's earlier work with Elvis Costello, reveal how The Roots played an indirect role in the band's current lineup, and Glenn pays his respects to dear departed original drummer, Gilson Lavis.    For the most up-to-date news about all things RSD, not to mention The List, visit RecordStoreDay.co Didn't find everything on your RSD lists?

Record Store Day 2026 Preview pt. 3.   Legendary music producer Jerry Goldstein (Eric Burdon & War, Sly & The Family Stone and more) is here to discuss the fascinating and often tragic story of Ike White, who recorded a forgotten 1974 funky soul cult classic, Changin' Times, with a mobile truck at Tehachapi State Prison while serving a life sentence for murder. That album so moved Stevie Wonder that he actively campaigned for White's early release from prison. This year, Rhino has remastered and pressed 3000 copies of Changin' Times for an RSD Exclusive release. We discuss the events surrounding the original album with its producer, Goldstein, whose own music business history includes co-writing the 1960s "girl group" hit "My Boyfriend's Back" for The Angels, and being one third of the "fake Australian surf group" The Strangeloves ("I Want Candy") and going on to work with Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone, and the act he put together, Eric Burdon & WAR, whom he also produced.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Record Store Day 2026 Preview pt. 2. It's Record Store Day, Charlie Brown! On this episode we'll continue to preview titles from the RSD 2026 List, as we welcome Jason and Sean Mendelson from Lee Mendelson Film Productions, to talk about their father's enduring animation series of Charlie Brown TV Specials based on characters in the Peanuts universe created by Charles M. Schulz.

In 2026, for every copy sold, LMFP will contribute $1.00 to the Arbor Day Foundation, with a minimum annual donation of $12,000 leading to the planting of one tree in a forest of need.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

XTC guitarist extraordinaire Dave Gregory joins us to discuss the band's very first Record Store Day Exclusive Release, a double-LP set called Live Boots, culled from a show recorded for radio broadcast at Emerald City, in Cherry Hill, New Jersey during the band's 1981 tour for their Black Sea album. Dave recalls that heady time, and expounds on his two main passions; collecting vintage guitars, and the joyful rituals of playing his many vinyl records.

Steve Berlin has been a member of L.A. band Los Lobos since 1984, but in the interim he has split his career between playing saxophone for that band (and The Blasters) and becoming an in-demand record producer for a host of bands including Los Lobos, Faith No More, Crash Test Dummies, and Canada's biggest band, The Tragically Hip. But in 1981, he began his production career working on an album for L.A. local legends, Top Jimmy & The Rhythm Pigs. The album, Pigus Drunkus Maximus, was initially released on the vanity label of another L.A. legend, Steve Wynn, before practically vanishing into the mists of L.A. musical history. This year, the album received a deluxe remastered reissue, with liner notes by Chris Morris, and archival photography by Gary Leonard. Steve tells us the legend of Top Jimmy, and shares some exciting Los Lobos news. And Paul (always the Canadian) asks him about producing The Tragically Hip.    The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.

Rival Sons frontman Jay Buchanan went deep into the desert, and himself, to summon up the powerful songs on his recently released solo album Weapons of Beauty, in stores now from Sacred Tongue Recordings (via Thirty Tigers).

In our first episode of 2026, the legendary UK record producer, remixer, and dub pioneer Adrian Sherwood reflects on his fourth solo studio effort, The Collapse of Everything, released last summer on his On-U Sound label. He explains how the album's melodic, contemplative sonic headspace balances modern plugin technology with the raw, "breathing" energy of live performances. He also talks about many of his collaborators like Doug Wimbish and Brian Eno, but also dear departed cohorts such as Keith LeBlanc, Mark Stewart, and Lee "Scratch" Perry. Over his five-decade career, Sherwood has become synonymous with a distinctive "sound-scientist" approach to the mixing desk, most notably associated with the groundbreaking projects African Head Charge, the industrial-funk powerhouse Tackhead,  rhythmic explorers Dub Syndicate, and the seminal roots-dub band Creation Rebel.   The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music.  Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.
