Now in it’s seventh year Record Store Day is a celebration of the culture of the independently owned record store… an antiquated notion perhaps to those only familiar with buying music via iTunes or downloading. Yes it’s a blatant plug to sell more records especially in recent years as the major labels flood the market with exclusive RSD editions only available on the day and in limited numbers… However despite the growing backlash and cynicism Record Store Day still serves its purpose to remind us that stores exist and there’s great music to be found there. So take a wander along to your local record store and browse and see what takes your ear. While everyday is a good day to buy music Saffron in Sheung Wan have live music, promotions and discounts while any excuse to peruse the vinyl at White Noise Records in Prince Edward is a good one.
