The Record Store Day was established in 2007: This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store - the staff, the customers, and the artists - to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
It is a nice opportunity to spport your local record store. For this purpose, limited editions and unique releases are available every year during the record store day.
In 2022, we have two days - 23rd April and 18th June.
From the Genesis family, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett releases were announced for 18th June!
