Saturday, April 20, 2024 is Record Store Day, a day to celebrate actual records. That is, physical records, especially vinyl, and the stores that sell them. Every year on Record Store Day, artists and labels release limited run records for purchase at local stores. Some of these are very much sought after, and people have been known to queue up before the stores open.
In addition, stores sometimes have promotional items to give away (with limited quantity), offer special deals, and even have in-store performances, which are free.
The Pour House Music Hall & Record Shop
The Pour House Music Hall & Record Shop, at 224 S Blount Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, is celebrating Record Store Day starting at 8 a.m. People might be in line much earlier. Details on Facebook event.
