\u00a0See the full list <a href=\"http:\/\/www.recordstoreday.com\/SpecialReleases\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. \u00a0This will be the only day to get these releases, so get out there and grab one along with some great used CDs!<\/p>\n<p>Many record stores also have special events to go along with the day. \u00a0Contact your local store to see what they&#8217;ll be doing, and then help out a fellow person by picking up some new music!<\/p>\n<p>Related &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/the_prophet_of_pop\/2011\/03\/songs-for-japan-brings-together-lady-gaga-the-boss-eminem-and-more.html\" target=\"_blank\">Songs for Japan<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/theprophetofpop\" target=\"_blank\">Follow the Prophet of Pop on\u00a0<strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/prophetofpop\" target=\"_blank\">on\u00a0<strong>Facebook<\/strong>!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Record Store Day is one of the greatest days of the year &#8211; a day set aside to give business to your local record shops. \u00a0That is, if your local record shops haven&#8217;t gone out of business yet. \u00a0These Mom and Pop style stores are a dying breed, failing in the wake of an online&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[168,57],"tags":[466,468,475,470,469,88,150,471,474,472,467,473,476],"class_list":["post-411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cool-stuff-yo","category-news-in-your-face","tag-adele","tag-adele-record-store-day","tag-bruce-springsteen-record-store-day","tag-foo-fighters-new-album","tag-foo-fighters-record-store-day","tag-lady-gaga","tag-lady-gaga-born-this-way","tag-lady-gaga-record-store-day","tag-mumford-and-sons-exclusive","tag-mumford-and-sons-record-store-day","tag-record-store-day","tag-tom-petty-record-store-day","tag-what-is-record-store-day"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Record Store Day is Saturday!
