Stage Buzz: Record Store Day 2019

Brassneck | April 9, 2019

Record Store Day celebrates its eleventh birthday on April 13th, and it has become entrenched as a must-have shopping day for vinyl freaks. As the RSD curators state “this is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.” Exclusive vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day. Local stores are including live bands on their dockets, and Wax Trax Records is planning a special first release RSD festivities for their Industrial Accident soundtrack and DVD.
Our complete list of RSD titles and crucial stores links below. Keep in mind each store orders music based on their customer’s tastes and some staff favorites. Lists are generally posted this week before the event on their social media pages. As the folks at Record Store Day say, “The whole point of this crazy “holiday” is to celebrate the record store, and if you’re there with that spirit in mind, we thank you. If you didn’t get something you were looking to get, we apologize and hope that someday it finds its way into your collection. Please be civil and nice to the humans around you no matter what.”
