It’s the most wonderful time of the year for vinyl lovers: Record Store Day. This year’s celebration is Saturday, April 13, making it the 12th annual Record Store Day. Saturday will be a day to go out to support your local record stores, enjoy live music, and dig into those new, used, or exclusive vinyl. Here’s a curated list of where to spend your time around the city for a day of vinyl appreciation.
Dave’s Music Mine
Make your way down on Carson Street in South Side because Dave’s Music Mine will be having plenty of exclusives, sales and giveaways. The shop will be stocking several RSD releases, and the first 50 customers on Saturday will receive a 12th Anniversary Record Store Day tote bag with exclusive posters and other prizes included. The shop’s biggest sale ever will happen on Saturday and Sunday, the 14th – 40% off the entire store! The sale does exclude consignment and RSD products.
