Record Store Day is coming up again and it’s time to get out and patronize your local, independent record stores! One of life’s greatest pleasures is shopping in a good record store, looking for cool music and hidden treasures. Is it a new release? Maybe an obscure 12″ single with a rare non-LP B-side? Colored vinyl? A classic album that never made it to CD? An album with some great artwork that just can’t be appreciated on a smaller format? Or maybe just the general rush of holding a record album in your hands!
Check out this page to see what some of your favorite artists have to say about record stores. Then make plans to head out to one (or all) of your local stores. A list of stores in the Sacramento area is here, including locations for The Beat, Dimple, Phono Select, and Esoteric.
