Record Store Day returns to Brampton on Saturday

Record Store Day is upon us once more as independent record stores around the world celebrate brick-and-mortar music stores and the magic of vinyl.

The one-day event – billed as the largest single-day music event in the world – started in the U.S. in 2007 and has grown to include thousands of stores around the globe, with special releases, in-store gigs and even street parties the order of the day.

This year’s ambassador for Record Store Day is Taylor Swift and special releases and exclusives include We Die Young from Alice in Chains, Bad Company’s Live 1979 (in opaque orange), two unreleased EPs from the late, great David Bowie and The Lakes, from Swift.

If you’re looking to check out some Brampton record stores on Saturday, Ninja’s Vinyl and Vintage is open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and to buy and sell used vinyl records, cds and cassettes.

You can also check out Sunrise Records in Bramalea City Centre for new releases and vinyl reprints as well as turntables, movies, TV show box sets, games and collectables.
