Saturday, April 21st, 2018 is Record Store Day, a day to celebrate actual records. That is, physical records, especially vinyl, and the stores that sell them. Every year, for eleven years, 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.
