Sub Pop Announces “Record Store Day” Releases

Record Store Day will be here before we know it and labels have started announcing their special releases for that day. We will post more announcements from other labels as they trickle in.

What is Record Store Day? This is the one day each year 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 of every April. http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home
