AC/DC, Deftones, Rage Against The Machine, Mötley Crüe, Linkin Park & More Announce ‘Record Store Day’ 2021 Releases

The list of releases has officially been announced for the first two planned drops of this year’s ‘Record Store Day‘ events. Those drops will fall on June 12th and July 17th. In addition to reissues and the like, there’s some notable offerings being served up, including two exclusive remixes that were made for Deftones‘ “White Pony” remix album “Black Stallion“. Those songs didn’t make the cut and include Telefon Tel Aviv‘s take on “Digital Bath” and Arca‘s remix of “Feiticeira“. You can find a teaser below.

St. Vincent will also be releasing a 7″ featuring her covers of Nine Inch Nails‘s “Piggy” (feat. Dave Grohl) and Metallica‘s “Sad But True“. In a similar vein, The Hu will also be releasing their cover of Metallica‘s “Sad But True” on a 7″ as well.

Beyond that you can find a 5-cassette Mötley Crüe boxset featuring their albums “Too Fast For Love“, “Shout At The Devil“, “Theatre Of Pain“, “Girls, Girls, Girls” and “Dr. Feelgood“; a new pressing of Linkin Park‘s 7x multi-platinum 2003 sophomore album “Meteora“; Rage Against The Machine‘s live effort “The Battle Of Mexico City” pressed on a Mexican flag inspired red and green colored vinyl with a white label and more.
