Another untouchable release, like The Beatles version. The racketeers will make sure of that. Oh well.

bullsh*t for the rich – I wonder if the price will be below 999 Euros/Dollars/Bitcoins

Crosley Radio Launches Rolling Stones RSD3 Mini Turntable For Record Store Day 2026
by Paul Cashmere on January 5, 2026

in News

Crosley Radio has marked its 18th year as a founding sponsor of Record Store Day with the announcement of a highly collectable collaboration celebrating The Rolling Stones. The Rolling Stones RSD3 Mini Turntable will be released exclusively through participating independent record stores on Record Store Day, April 18, 2026, with strictly limited quantities.


The release continues Crosley’s long association with Record Store Day, an event that has become a cornerstone of the modern vinyl revival. Since its launch in 2008, Record Store Day has played a key role in reconnecting audiences with physical music formats, a movement that has also reignited interest in rare pressings, archival releases and specialised playback equipment. Crosley has been embedded in that culture since the beginning, regularly producing limited-edition hardware tied to landmark artists.

The Rolling Stones RSD3 Mini Turntable is designed as both a functional player and a display piece. Compact in scale but visually striking, the turntable is paired with a bespoke storage crate capable of holding up to sixteen 3-inch records. Exclusive Rolling Stones artwork is featured throughout the design, positioning the unit squarely in collector territory rather than novelty status.

Included with the turntable are six 3-inch singles, each housed in faithfully reproduced US picture sleeves. The selections trace a significant arc of The Rolling Stones’ recording history, beginning with early chart breakthroughs and moving through to their late 1960s peak. The singles included are Get Off of My Cloud, Play With Fire, Heart of Stone, Mother’s Little Helper, Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow? and Honky Tonk Women. Together they reflect the band’s evolution from British rhythm and blues upstarts to one of the most dominant forces in popular music.

Despite its size, the RSD3 Mini Turntable is engineered with serious listening in mind. It features a pre-mounted Audio-Technica cartridge, adjustable pitch control and a supported platter. A built-in speaker allows for immediate playback, while Bluetooth connectivity enables pairing with external speakers for expanded sound. Power options include micro-USB or four AA batteries, reinforcing its portability. Additional features such as a dust cover, headphone jack and adapters for large-hole records ensure the unit functions as a genuine turntable rather than a novelty item.

The Rolling Stones’ catalogue has long been central to vinyl culture, with original pressings and reissues consistently among the most sought-after titles in record stores worldwide. By focusing on 3-inch singles, Crosley taps into a niche format that mirrors the collectable appeal of jukebox discs and promotional releases from earlier decades, reframed for contemporary audiences.

The Rolling Stones RSD3 Mini Turntable will be available exclusively at participating independent record stores on Record Store Day, April 18, 2026. Quantities are limited and availability will vary by location.

Not for RSD 2026, but another gimmick - NFC Discs in keychain format:

The above example is the 1984 Zoolook album by Jean-Michel Jarre which costs as NFC edition £18 - [www.Amazon.co.uk] . There're currently 14 NFC disc releases by Sony Music Germany, exclusively available on Amazon:



The albums are by: Falco (2x), Boney M (2x), Wolfgang Petry (2x), James Arthur, J.-M. Jarre, Die Flippers, Udo Jürgens, Annett Louisan, Roland Kaiser, A Touch of Class, Milli Vanilli - [Facebook.com] , Amazon picture.

Just been reading up on these NFC discs. If I've understood them correctly, what a load of tosh :'D

For the record companies, an advantage of these NFC discs could be exclusive digital bonus content and interactive elements like Quiz, etc.

If you make your own NFC Disc, you could combine the physical & haptic experience of the album's mini-edition with the streaming age.
Take the NFC Discs of your favourite albums (or playlists) and just hold them against the NFC-Reader. Then the player app starts with your favourite album/playlist. No typing, no searching, no scrolling. Easy access to your album/playlist through the NFC tag.

Yeah, caveat emptor.
Those players do not even function properly enough to enjoy listening to any sort of music. Great paperweights if you want to waste money and effort on such a thing.

I’d recommend painting a Stones tongue on a flat rock instead

The Ronnie Wood lp looks like the one from last year: Live at Electric Ladyland??
Why are they now calling it Live and Fearless?

Why are they now calling it Live and Fearless?

Maybe it's just a mistake on the Italian RSD website. There's currently no cover image for the same release on the Dutch [RecordStoreDay.nl] . And there's currently also no cover image for this release elsewhere.

Big hits seems very expensive for a single disc release.

RS - Big Hits (High Tide and Green Glass) - [US version] Japan limited edition - UIJY-75358 - Japanese Pressing LP (Abbey Road Studios Cutting) - 22-Apr-2026 - [www.Universal-Music.co.jp] , [Tower.jp] , [DiskUnion.net] .

Not for RSD 2026, but another music marketing concept - albums as chocolate bars:




The square shape of the chocolate bars is used as album cover. On the back of the bars, there's a QR code where you get a free trial subscription to Apple Music and the link to the album.

The currently 5 albums are: Scorpions 'Crazy World', Helene Fischer 'Farbenspiel', Sarah Connor 'Muttersprache', Cro 'RAOP', and Marteria 'Zum Glück in die Zukunft II'.

It's a limited sales promotion in Germany, starting 02-Mar-2026. The Ritter Sport chocolate bars use their trademarked square shape since 1932.

Maybe Universal Music could use this marketing idea for the 2026 Rolling Stones studio album as well?

ok first thoughts

beggar's banquet and sticky fingers are good names for a bar of chocolate

goats head soup not so much

Or Undercover and than you "discover" that the chocolate inside is very cheap and doesn't taste good at all.

most likely they used a wrong picture since the picture says 'Live at Electric Ladyland'

My guess is that they replace the Rolling Stones songs (and maybe some others) on Fearless by some RW live recordings previously released somewhere else.
