Lucy Dacus has put “Planting Tomatoes,” her Record Store Day single, onto streaming services after first selling it as a vinyl exclusive. (rollingstone.com) Record Store Day 2026 fell on April 19, and Dacus’ release was listed as a 7-inch single. The B-side was “Modigliani,” credited to Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker. (recordstoreday.com) Rolling Stone reported the streaming release a few days later, putting the song online after its vinyl-first debut. That made “Planting Tomatoes” Dacus’ first new music released in 2026. (rollingstone.com) Record Store Day is built around limited physical releases sold through independent shops. A vinyl-only window gives stores and collectors a reason to line up on release day. (recordstoreday.com) Artists often widen access after that first rush by moving exclusives to Spotify, Apple Music and other services. Dacus’ rollout fits that pattern: scarcity first, then convenience. (rollingstone.com) (recordstoreday.com) The B-side also ties the single to Dacus’ work with boygenius, the trio she shares with Bridgers and Baker. Record Store Day’s listing used all three names for “Modigliani,” even though the release was filed under Dacus. (recordstoreday.com) For fans who did not get the 7-inch on April 19, the streaming release removes the resale market from the equation. For stores, the exclusive window had already done its job. (rollingstone.com) (recordstoreday.com) The result is a short arc that has become common in the streaming era: a collectible object first, then a song anyone can play. (rollingstone.com)
