For decades
vinyl has been considered a niche market for fringe genres and collectors of
the arcane. Though it still carries this reputation, the fact that record player
now come with iPhone ports and can be purchased at Target and Urban Outfitters hints
to the contrary.
If you enjoy
listening to music as much as you enjoy making it, you have probably heard of
Record Store Day…the most benevolent of the consumerist holidays. While the
primary purpose is to celebrate and promote independent record stores, there
can be something in it for bands as well. If you can time the release of a
vinyl version of your album, or come up with a special Record Store Day limited
edition, something or other, 7”, you too can cash in on the hype.
