Record Store Day 2023
Record Store Day is getting closer. April 22nd will see some 400 exclusive releases with around 3.000 independent record stores worldwide taking part. Ever since the first one back in 2007, Record Store Day is now hosting special listening parties, club events, in-store gigs, meets and greets, and concerts. All releases dropping on April 22nd were especially produced for this day and are usually available in limited editions. More and more countries are taking part each year: the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Japan, Hong Kong, New Zealand, and Australia.
