RSD 2012 flyer

It’s that time again! Everyone’s favorite music holiday – Record Store Day – is right around the corner and we’re excited to announce our festivities, as we celebrate with independent record stores across the nation and abroad!!Our doors will open at 10am sharp this Saturday, April 21st, to a ton of limited edition RSD exclusive releases. Stake your claim in line early to be sure you get your paws on all the titles you’ve been drooling over these last couple months…*Please note – in an effort to be fair to all customers – all RSD releases will be first come, first served, no RSD titles may be put on hold, and are limited to (1) one copy of any given title, per customer. Some of this years releases are extremely limited and this will help in allowing others to also get a chance to enjoy them…A full list of all official RSD 2012 releases can be viewed here:
