Our 6th annual Record Store Day celebration is coming on Saturday, April 20! RSD is basically a big party to celebrate the survival and culture of independent record stores across the USA (and the world). Hundreds of artists and record labels have created special limited edition vinyl and CD releases specifically for this day, plus we’re planning a full slate of performances, free giveaways and other surprises. Please plan to come!

Here’s what we have in store for you….

*** Hundreds of limited edition releases. Visit http://www.recordstoreday.com/Home for the list. Artists include the Black Keys, David Bowie, Elliott Smith, Flaming Lips, Avett Brothers, Grizzly Bear, Nick Cave, White Stripes, Phoenix, Lamb of God, Trey Anastasio, and tons more. Please note: we won’t know exactly what we’re getting until we unpack the boxes. Quantities will be limited. To be fair to everyone, please don’t ask us to put anything “on hold”.

*** Live performances starting at noon by Fifth on the Floor, Blood Pheasant, Italian Beaches and Palisades.

*** Album release showcase for “193 Sound,” produced by Institute 193, featuring Birmingham, Ala. artist/musician Lonnie Holley and special guests.

*** Parking lot sale of thousands of used CDs and LPs, weather permitting

*** Food and drink from North Lime Coffee & Donuts and El Habanero Loko food truck.

*** Trivia contest sponsored by Buster’s and Cosmic Charlies.

*** Free record label swag and grab-bags while supplies last.

CD Central will be open from 9 am to 8 pm on Record Store Day.
