I went to a couple different stores on saturday to find some amazing and exclusive records for record store day. Stormy Records and Dearborn Music provided great deals and discounts for this very special day. I went in Dearborn music in hopes of seeing tons of great vinyl and came across some that I have always wanted, all the good stuff from the Descendents to Bad Brains, there was not one thing that was not on sale. 

Stormy Records was packed pretty much the whole day, and I saw Windy and Carl behind the counter greeting customers for this marvelous day for all local records stores. 

What is record store day? Well this is what I got from the website recordstoreday.com

The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown, and was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally. 

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April. 

Record Store Day is currently managed by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Melanie Nipper, and Carrie Colliton. Folks wanting to contact Record Store Day are encouraged to email us at information@recordstoreday.com
