For vinyl music lovers, this Saturday is like Christmas Day.

More than 1,400 independent record stores in the U.S. will be celebrating the 11th annual Record Store Day Saturday and thousands more stores worldwide.

That means there are a slew of special, limited-edition vinyl releases to be scored.

Vinyl remains a vital music format even though it had gone dormant for nearly two decades. Last year, sales of vinyl LPs accounted for $395 million, up 10% over 2016, Recording Industry Association of America says.
