Collective Soul RSD Album

Collective Soul has lined up a new album, *Touch and Go*, as a Record Store Day 2026 exclusive for independent record shops. (recordstoreday.com) Record Store Day’s official listing says the release is a 10-song LP on colored vinyl, packaged with an exclusive poster. The track list runs from “Rainbow” to “Love Your Way.” (recordstoreday.com) The band’s announcement, published April 22, said the album will be sold at indie stores for Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18, 2026. Singer Ed Roland said the record has “a New Wave sound.” (theconcertchronicles.com) Record Store Day is built around limited releases sold through participating independent stores. The organization says the event began in 2008 after a 2007 meeting of store owners and now includes nearly 1,400 independently owned stores in the United States and thousands more internationally. (recordstoreday.com) The 2026 official list places *Touch and Go* alongside dozens of other one-day titles arriving April 18. That format turns new music into a store-only draw instead of a standard wide release. (recordstoreday.com) For Collective Soul, the release also marks a new studio project tied to a specific retail event rather than a conventional album rollout. Record Store Day’s product page says the band leaned on influences from The Cars and other New Wave music for the set. (recordstoreday.com) The band’s main website still leads with its broader career history, describing a major-label run that began in 1994. *Touch and Go* gives the group a new release pegged to vinyl collectors and in-store shoppers at the same time. (collectivesoul.com) If the pattern holds, fans looking for *Touch and Go* will need to check participating local stores rather than wait for a typical online drop. That is exactly how Record Store Day has positioned its exclusives since the event began. (recordstoreday.com)
