Record Store Day 2011 Is Saturday April 16th

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.

What do local independent record stores mean to you?

Once again we celebrate our independent record stores. April 17th is the day, be sure to go to your local store! From the national Record Store Day web site last year:

“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.”

Here is Sacramento, local stores R5 Records, The Beat, and Dimple will probably be celebrating with special product, sales, live music, and who knows what else. Check it out, just go! Support your local independent record stores!
