Hopefully this captures them all. I have just been through the spreadsheet for all the Record Store Day releases for 2016, picking out all the mod-friendly releases I could find. I might well have missed a couplr, but nothing big. Some are very big too.  Releases like the mod box set will be chased up for detail in the coming days.
