“I found my calling in the back bin of a dark, dusty record store.” So says 2015 Record Store Day ambassador Dave Grohl, who speaks eloquently about the first vinyl disc he ever bought and the importance of independent record stores here. Now in its ninth year, Record Store Day, taking place on April 18, will send you back into your closet to consider setting up that turntable again, as music retailers around the city will be selling limited-edition seven-inch, ten-inch, and twelve-inch records; among the participating locations are Generation Records, Bleecker Street Records, Rebel Rebel, Other Music, Academy, Record Runner, Disc-o-Rama, Turntable Lab, Cake Shop, Jazz Record Center, and In Living Stereo. Below are only some of the hundreds of vinyl releases that will be available, although you’ll need to call ahead to see if the singles, EPs, and albums you want are being sold at your local store. “I believe that the power of the record store to inspire is still alive and well, and that their importance to our next generation of musicians is crucial,” Grohl concludes.
