Record Store Day 2023: Things to Remember
For fans who wanted to get a copy of the vinyl records mentioned above, all copies are only available at indie record stores that will participate in this year's RSD and will not be sold online.
Record Store Day 2023 will be on April 22, at selected vinyl stores across the United States.
The event's official website gave fans a disclaimer, saying all the released titles will not be available on all participating shops as the owners get to decide which titles to get.
Organizers also noted all vinyl records are limited and will only be available for a limited time, meaning exclusive copies are much harder to find once the event ends.
2023 marks the event's 16th anniversary after being founded in 2008. Despite streaming services taking over the world of music in recent years, vinyl record sales continue to impress buyers as the RIAA reported that vinyl units shipped rose to a staggering 15.7% last year.
