The History of Record Store Day
Record Store Day is an international annual event to celebrate the culture of independently owned record stores.
Record Store Day was founded by Brian Ritchie, Mike Ross and Eric Levin in 2007. The idea of Record Store Day was formed when they were talking about how bad the music industry had been hit by digital downloads and how it was hurting independent record stores. They realized that there needed to be a day where people could go out, buy records and show their support for local music stores. This would give record stores a day to celebrate themselves, as well as artists who are still making albums with physical copies.
Record Store Day is celebrated on the third Saturday of April every year. The date was chosen because it is also John Lennon’s birthday (April 9th). and that was no coincidence.The day’s official hashtag is #RSD17.In the United States, the event raises awareness of a variety of record stores and encourages people to visit their closest one in celebration (or solidarity). In Canada, the event is celebrated on April 18th. On April 21st (the Sunday following Record Store Day) there is an “after party” held by various record shops and labels across the country.
