Record Store Day

This Saturday, April 16th, is the Fourth annual Record Store Day!

Record Store Day is a celebration of the Independent Record Store, created by the Indie Retail Coalitions along with several other mom & pop stores and regional music chains. In their own words:

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records and on and on.

This year, over 700 stores in the U.S. will participate, with hundreds more worldwide. At Atlantic Records, we urge everyone to head out to your local store and check out the fun (and buy some stuff!).

For more details, you can check out the Record Store Day website at www.RecordStoreDay.com and for a list of participating stores, go directly to www.RecordStoreDay.com/Venues.
