You need to dust off that turntable unless of course you’re like me and you’ve never stopped using it. Either way, Record Store Day has announced its list of exclusive releases for 2023. The event only happens in independent record stores on April 22.
Record Store Day is an annual event that was first held in 2008 to celebrate independent record stores and the unique culture surrounding them. The event takes place each year and typically features a variety of exclusive releases, in-store performances, and other special events.
The purpose of the special day is to draw attention to the importance of independent record stores as cultural hubs and to encourage people to visit and support them. In recent years, the event has grown in popularity and now includes thousands of participating stores in countries around the world.
Releases typically include limited-edition vinyl records and other merchandise from a wide range of artists. Some of these releases are previously unreleased recordings, while others are special editions of classic albums or compilations of rare tracks.
Some recommended Central Jersey record stores include Spina Records in New Brunswick, Revilla in Milltown, and Princeton Record Exchange.
Here are a few of the limited edition vinyl albums that will be hitting these local record stores…
