Record Store Day

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.
