Masterworks Broadway released the New Broadway Cast Recording of Hello, Dolly! as a 180‑gram deluxe gatefold LP (catalog 88985405922) on May 12, 2017. (masterworksbroadway.com) The original 1964 Broadway cast album starring Carol Channing was issued by RCA Victor with catalogue numbers LOC‑1087/LSOD‑1087 and shows multiple pressings and reissues in collector databases. (discogs.com) Record Store Day 2026 is scheduled for April 18, 2026, and the official RSD list for that date includes more than 350 special releases. (recordstoreday.com) Coverage of the 2026 RSD list notes several titles capped at under 5,000 copies and at least one release limited to 900 units, a typical limitation that can make short‑run cast or soundtrack pressings collectible. (resellcalendar.com) Marketplace listings show the 2017 Masterworks 180‑gram pressing commonly sold out at retail and appearing on resale sites with asking prices roughly from $15 to $85, while multiple sellers list original 1964 Carol Channing RCA pressings often under about $30 depending on condition and pressing variant.
