Record Store Day
Launched in 2007, Record Store Day (RSD) was conceived as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding independently owned record stores. It has since grown into a global event, bringing together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world. The day features exclusive vinyl and CD releases, live performances, and special events to promote the culture of independent record stores. Record Store Day is a semi-annual event established in 2008 to “celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store”. Held on one Saturday every April and every Black Friday in November, the day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world.
