Record Store Day came into being in 2007 when over 700 independent records stores and outlets in the USA came together to celebrate their unique culture.
The UK followed suit and 2014 will see the seventh celebration of the UK’s unique independent sector.
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 across the globe make special appearances and performances.
Festivities include performances, meet & greets with artists, DJ’s, in store quizzes and many other events.
Record Store Day 2014 is April 19th.
Visit the UK website for details of the special releases and one offs that will be available on the day and also for participating indie record stores.
