Record Store Day is synching up with shops in Illinois for its annual celebration Saturday.
The holiday will bring special releases, deals and concerts to a number of record storefronts for its 15th anniversary.
Vinyl copies of David Bowie's “Brilliant Adventure” and The Rolling Stones’ “More Hot Rocks (Big Hits & Fazed Cookies)” will be among the exclusively released titles at indie record stores. The Lumineers’ “Brightside: Bonus Track” also will hit the shelves. A full list of releases can be found here.
Initially, the celebration started out as a way to nationally spotlight independent record stores. Now, the efforts have grown to a grander scale, with stores participating across six continents. In Illinois, a near total of 100 stores will take part in the action.
