Record Store Day is an annual celebration of the independently owned, brick and mortar record shop. Conceived 15 years ago by those in the industry "as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1,400 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally," according to the official Record Store Day website, recordstoreday.com.
Held every April, (with the exception of the last two years that saw plans modified in response to the pandemic) this year's celebration will be held April 23.
To mark the occasion, each year sees a number of special releases from artists, many of which are only available at the independent record stores. It could be previously unreleased material, remastered albums or a special/limited edition.
The following stores are some participating in Record Store Day 2022, many of which have special hours for the day. Check with your local store for its opening/closing times.
