RSD: Plant's surprise EP
Record Store Day 2026 includes Robert Plant’s new EP All That Glitters — four songs he says were originally meant for the band’s next full‑length, giving the RSD drop extra weight. (ledzepnews.com) The RSD slate also lists limited releases like To All New Arrivals, Play It Out / Midnight Song (Live in LA), Live at LA Sports Arena 1975, and an MTV Unplugged pressing.

Nonesuch issued the announcement on Feb. 4, 2026, and Record Store Day lists the release date as April 18, 2026 with a U.S. RSD pressing limited to 3,500 copies. (nonesuch.com) The label’s release page gives the EP’s song credits as the traditional “The Blackest Crow,” “Two Coats,” Gillian Welch’s “Orphan Girl,” and Bert Jansch’s “Poison.” (nonesuch.com) Record Store Day’s own listing, however, prints a slightly different tracklist that substitutes “She Cried” for “Two Coats,” creating a public discrepancy between the RSD entry and the label announcement. (recordstoreday.com) Nonesuch’s write‑up also names Suzi Dian and band members Oli Jefferson, Tony Kelsey, Matt Worley and Barney Morse‑Brown, and says the Saving Grace sessions were recorded across the Cotswolds and the Welsh Borders over a six‑year period. (nonesuch.com) Retail listings for Record Store Day 2026 show other limited items arriving alongside Plant’s EP, including “To All New Arrivals” on 12” (CMG) and a Columbia 7” push‑out single “Play It Out / Midnight Song (Live in LA)” tied to the No.1, Mercury Prize‑shortlisted album The Clearing. (roanrecords.co.uk) Several high‑profile RSD exclusives on retailer pages include a four‑LP clear‑vinyl edition of Live at the LA Sports Arena, April 26, 1975 remastered by Steven Wilson from Mike Millard tapes, and a 2LP MTV Unplugged pressing (Legacy) presenting 21 tracks for its RSD vinyl debut.
