These Massachusetts shops are participating in Record Store Day 2024
BOSTON - Looking to pick up the new Taylor Swift album on vinyl this weekend? You can add to your music collection while supporting a small business on Saturday, April 20 for Record Store Day 2024.
What is Record Store Day?
Record Store Day began in 2007 "as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture" of independently owned record stores. There are often lines of music lovers out the door as some of the stores host performances to mark the day.
Many artists drop special releases exclusively for Record Store Day. Some shops will also offer special in-store promotions on the day, but you may want to call ahead or check their social media to be sure.
