Record Store Day is a day globally beloved by music fans who live and breathe vinyl. Every year, hundreds of record stores all around the world participate in RSD to release rare and limited edition vinyl as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture of music on wax.

Well, RSD will soon be upon us, and if there's one day of the year to go visit a local, independent record store, it's this Saturday. Though most of the focus come RSD is on the exclusive, official pressings up for sale, those exclusives can be difficult for record stores to bid for, so stores know better than to put all their eggs in one basket.

That's a great thing, because it means stores plan a plethora of ways to celebrate RSD, from discounts and store-wide deals to parties and performances. There's so much going on this RSD, and you don't even have to be a huge vinyl head to enjoy it all. 

This year, Fred Perry is teaming up with a handful of local record stores to release four limited edition tote bags, as well as giveaways. 

Below, we list what's going down at all RSD participating records stores in Singapore, assorted in alphabetical order.
