Record Store Day began in 2007 when independent record store owners joined forces to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding independently-owned record stores in the US. The first Record Store Day took place on April 19, 2008; today, Record Store Day is celebrated by thousands of independently-owned record stores around the world.
