Some record stores get really crowded on RSD!

nThenmain special event happening at record stores today is the release ofnvinyl albums or single records – music that will be available innrecord stores only! Bands such as Oasis and Green Day, solo artistsnsuch as Dolly Parton and Steve Earle (which is my brother’s name, butnthis guy is NOT my brother), old now-defunct bands such as Nirvananand the Ramones—all are releasing records (again, at record storesnonly) today!

Here is an example of a record that is being released today – something that has never before been commercially available in the U.S.
