Record Store Day is back!

Record Store Day is an annual event inaugurated in 2007 and held on one Saturday every April and every Black Friday in November to “celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store”. The day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores around the world. A number of records are pressed specifically for Record Store Day, with a list of releases for each country, and are only distributed to shops participating in the event.

Local record stores participating include:

• The River Street Beat Shop, Troy
• Sound House Records, Troy
• Spike’s Record Rack, Catskill
• Woodstock Music Shop, Woodstock
• Belltower Records, North Adams

The list of special releases being made available today can be viewed here.

Please support your local record store – shop local and shop often.
