UPDATE: Record Store Day 2020 has been moved to Saturday, June 20, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The list of releases coming out on Record Store Day 2020 in the USA and UK has just been issued--and I've combed through them to see what might be of interest to The Duff Guide to Ska readership. As always, the UK offerings far outpace those in America (sigh), but so it goes. The big headline for 2 Tone fans is a new Specials 10" featuring three previously unreleased dub versions of some of their classic songs, plus reissues of Dance Craze and This Are 2 Tone.
