Alabama News Center — Alabama independent record stores gearing up for ‘Record Store Day’

By: Alabama News Center Staff

Alabama’s independent record stores are alive and well, feeding that special feeling music lovers get when dropping a needle on a turntable to listen to some good old-fashioned vinyl.

And on Saturday, April 20, they’ll join record stores across the world in celebrating Record Store Day (RSD) with a variety of special activities and offers, in addition to the release of scores of RSD-exclusive music planned across the globe. For a partial list of those releases, click here.

According to recordstoreday.com, RSD was conceived in 2007 during a gathering of independent record store owners and employees “as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1,400 independently-owned record stores in the United States and thousands of similar stores internationally.” The first RSD took place in 2008.
