Record Store Day 2016 presents a treasure trove of limited vinyl releases

Each year, Record Store Day is commemorated to celebrate the continued existence of independent record stores in the face of changing music consumption. Observing the increasing sales of vinyl, Record Store Day has helped propagate the age-old notion of purchasing physical products through limited edition releases that include stylistic packaging, colorful vinyl records and exclusive material not previously available. 

While the alternative holiday has gotten flak for its questionable practices and excess in gimmicky releases, it has also given casual buyers a reason to flock to record stores to grab vinyl off the shelf on release day.



This year, Record Store Day will be observed on April 16th, and two record stores in Singapore, Vinylicious Records and The Analog Vault, will be selling select but undisclosed titles from the RSD catalogue on the day itself.
