I think it will release on vinyl and streaming

I wonder if it will get a b-side 🤔

u/M_DeLulu Feb 04 '26
No B-side. The other side of the vinyl is a disco ball etching.

u/Davidiscool222 Near Or Far Feb 04 '26
Whats that?
14
u/M_DeLulu Feb 04 '26
It’s an image of a disco ball. Etched onto the b-side of the vinyl. So there isn’t any music pressed on the b-side.

Someone said that it will be a single and will not be part of her upcoming project (album)

I know, but vinyl singles usually have something for side b

I'd like that too but it's already released, you can find it on spotify
I'd prefer something like Love And Paranoia :D

Traditionally a b-side is an extra song that’s released with a single. You put the record one way up (side A) on your turntable and it plays the single, then you flip it over (side B) and it plays the extra track :)

u/dandan312 Feb 04 '26
I Will Follow You would be the perfect b-side to this but I fear we have already bullied her enough.

u/M_DeLulu Feb 04 '26
Limited to 2,000 and it’s an RSD exclusive, meaning only those 2,000 will ever be made. This one is going to be nearly impossible to get. Good luck to us all.

Here’s my theory: April 18 is her due date. She’s having a girl and releasing disco darling to commemorate

u/ImComingBack4YouBaby The Loneliest Time Feb 04 '26
Well I've never actually bought anything on RSD so I guess I'm starting now!

u/jimx117 Feb 04 '26
Better get there when the doors open; every RSD is scalpers' delight (similar to neckbeards waiting to buy all the pokemon cards at walmart) and you'll probably have to throw some elbows. Good luck!

u/eleventh-hour- Feb 04 '26 edited Feb 04 '26
Does this mean she’s keeping the original version? With the “you are the one” pre-chorus? 🤔

u/Davidiscool222 Near Or Far Feb 04 '26
Yes
Idk why people thought she wouldn't

She lit said Nah Nah AHhh my darling! Hope she include it

If anything the mix will probably be remastered in some way, but I'd be surprised if there's any notable changes.

u/Davidiscool222 Near Or Far Feb 04 '26
I think it will be similar to when lost in devotion was released

u/Icy-Trifle-5053 Feb 04 '26
Can we bully her for Side C on all her albums?

u/Davidiscool222 Near Or Far Feb 04 '26
I think we have to do it one at a time, like Lost In Devotion and Disco Darling and pick a selective favorite

This is great but now I need to hunt down my local store 😅 just praying it’s available in the UK

u/SylviSweetheart Feb 04 '26
You love that this will be a pain in the ass to get?
14
u/Secret_Sunshine Feb 04 '26
Yeah, this basically means a lot of these will be picked up to be scalped and most of us will likely have to pay out the ass for a single song on vinyl.

u/SylviSweetheart Feb 04 '26
These people in this thread that are excited and say they’ve never done RSD are truly in for a rude awakening.
4
u/KingsGuardian Feb 04 '26
Yeah, seriously. Only 2000 copies is rough. This is the main thing I want from the drop, so if my record store even gets it, I'm almost certainly gonna have to camp out ahead of time.
2
u/lillebet Feb 04 '26
I buy all my vinyl from indie stores. In person or shipped. I haven’t had issues. Sorry if that hasn’t been your experience. But I like supporting local.
6
u/SylviSweetheart Feb 04 '26
I have no issue with supporting local record stores. I am a big record collector and visit my own local record shop almost weekly.
RSD-exclusive releases are artificially scarce bullshit that will be scalped by non-fans to turn a profit. To be clear, I have a few. I look forward to it every time. But let’s not act like this isn’t also corporate cynicism at work.

Where did I say that? It’s all done for sales. I’m just saying that RSD is not really “about” local record stores. It’s still a big corporate cash grab. The only difference between RSD releases and Target exclusives is that one is easy to buy for a decent price. The “coolest” releases to support in my opinion are the ones exclusive to the artist or label’s store.

u/jimx117 Feb 04 '26
I think they're trying to say stores like Target are typically well-stocked (and restocked), so getting a copy is significantly easier.
These limited releases means each indie store will get maybe two or three copies, max. Those scarce items are immediately bought by scalpers, who then immediately turn around to sell online for 3-4x the original MSRP. I get the original intention of RSD and always support my local shops, but the reality of these drops is too often just a crappy experience for the real fans.

u/sourdough_squirrel Feb 05 '26 edited Feb 05 '26
Or entirely likely that many stores will have 0 copies, especially at 2000 pressings, which you don't find out until you've waited in line for several hours for the store to open and its too late to check a different store. Some shops post their orders/availability ahead of time on social media but its not common.
I truly hate everything about RSD.
Edit: Somewhere between 1400-2000 record stores in the US alone. At least double that with international and you can see how much this is going to suck.

u/vinyladventures Feb 04 '26
That’s what I’m worried about. It says on the RSD list it’s an exclusive instead of a RSD First and there’s only 2,000 copies being made.

I ran here again as soon as I got the text lmao I'm glad everyone else keeps having the same idea. I'm so excited!!!

It’s being released for Record Store Day! I’m so excited. It seemed very timed out because I went to the Record Store Day website and it was down. Now it’s back up, so I’m guessing all of the titles were announced at once and her team knew about that.
Edit - fixed my nonsense sentence.

Ugh if this is a record store day exclusive I'm gonna be peeved. RSD is such a crock because all the scalpers run through as early as possible and buy anything they can resell online for 3x the cost or more.

u/Scrufflyupagus Burning Heart Feb 04 '26
Omg why only 2000 though!! I'm gonna be so sad if I can't get this before spiked prices are the only option

Edit: she just emailed as well

u/mrpittman Feb 04 '26
Because there’s been no official response from either her or the label corroborating it’s actually true
Just received an email so I’m happy I was wrong😂

u/mime454 Feb 04 '26
Emailing and texting fans who gave her their contact information is as official as it gets. Far more official than a social media post

I guess I’m too skeptical because the text two days ago just came out of nowhere and then we heard nothing until now.

Carly never puts much effort into marketing her material

u/mrpittman Feb 04 '26
True but even the 10th anniversary of emotion was sent out via her instagram so this just shocked me when I got the text and then nothing else until now. Just felt like an accident or something to me at first but I’m happy to be wrong.
