Record Store Day 2012

Record Store Day is tomorrow and if you don't know what that is, then you are terrible at being a fan of music!

The organizers for Record Store Day have teamed up with almost every leading indie and even some major labels to release limited edition exclusives just for the occasion. Check out http://www.recordstoreday.com/ for the participating record stores and list of the exclusive releases.
