Since its inception in 2007, the fandemonium over Record Store Day has only grown. Drak,
owner of Vinyl Solution in Huntington Beach, expressed his awe of fans last
year who flooded into his store “like mice after a piece of cheese. It's
amazing.”
It's no wonder they do–each year on the third Saturday of
April, independent record stores throw more events and carry limited amounts of
limited-edition releases of fan favorite artists. After the jump, a list of what participating Orange County
and Long Beach record stores will be doing to celebrate on Saturday.
