First RSD 2016 List Leaks

The first of the Record Store Day (RSD) 2016 leaks has happened. On a forum post over on Vinyl Collective, someone has posted a list of 76 releases allegedly set for RSD 2016 on April 16, 2016. The user that posted the list (who claims he does not own a record store) says that "This is the first list. Many more to come." Another wrote that this part is just 15% of the total.

According to the American Association of Independent Music Today (February 2) is supposed to be the day that labels provide complete details of their plans to the RSD machine. Assuming this date is correct, it likely means that there are plenty of releases that even RSD just found out about today.

Initial response from the community has not been kind. In a discussion on Reddit, the general consensus is that this batch is not great. Comments ranged from the blunt: "This looks pretty terrible,"; to the sarcastic: "And once again we are flooded with useless reissues and gimmicky records"; to finding the silver lining: "Across the Universe might be fun".
