Record Store Day has been happening since 2008, and features a variety of limited-edition vinyl releases sold exclusively in independent record shops around the world.
Most of the releases are rock-oriented, but in recent years, pop stars have been getting into the act.
Vinyl records have recently been on a massive comeback, for example Adele sold 116,000 copies of her “25” just on vinyl alone.
A couple of local record stores will be taking part in Record Store Day:
Mindbomb Records here in St Catharines will be taking part, on top of celebrating their 1st anniversary.
SRCVinyl in Niagara Falls are also taking part, stocked up with over 1,200 exclusive records.
