Record Store Day (RSD) is back on Saturday, April 12, 2025, and St. Louis is ready to celebrate with exclusive vinyl releases, live music, and special promotions at local record stores. Whether you’re a longtime collector or just starting to explore the world of vinyl, this is the perfect opportunity to support independent record shops and discover some amazing music.
A Brief History of Record Store Day
Founded in 2007, Record Store Day was created to celebrate and promote independent record stores worldwide. The event brings together artists, fans, and music retailers, offering exclusive, limited-edition vinyl releases that are only available at participating stores. Over the years, RSD has grown into a global phenomenon, with major and indie artists alike releasing special records to commemorate the day.
Fun Fact: The Largest Vinyl Ever Made
Did you know that the largest playable vinyl record ever made was a 24-inch disc created in 2012? While standard records come in 7-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch sizes, this oversized vinyl was pressed as a promotional stunt—definitely not something you’d find in a typical record store!
