Record Store Day is upon us yet again, and in addition to giving you an opportunity to snag some rare, new vinyls, the sort-of holiday brings us out to the fantastic local record shops dotting Bushwick and the surrounding neighborhoods.
The first Record Store Day was held back in 2007 to highlight the good work that independent stores do year round to bring music to the masses. Participating stores throw parties, invite bands to perform live sets, and sell rare Record Store Day releases by big and tiny acts alike. This ten year anniversary edition of the holiday is sure to be a big one.
Visit any of the stores below to see what kind of gems you can dig up from the stacks. We’ve got our fingers crossed for some Prince and a Space Jam soundtrack.
