The latest edition to your vinyl collection is almost ready for pickup.
Record Store Day is back for its 17th year on Saturday, April, 20, 2024, when dozens of exclusive new releases and reissues will be available from an array of artists like the Doors, Neil Young, Noah Kahan and Sabrina Carpenter.
The holiday for true music lovers allows record stores across the U.S. to buy and sell a mix of exclusive releases and Record Store Day firsts. Even rarer small run or regional titles will be sold at select shops during the event, meaning fans never truly know what they'll find that day.
Since 2009, the annual event − typically held on the third Saturday in April − has served as a treat for core vinyl owners and an introduction for newer digital-age music fans. Occasionally, artists make appearances at some of the 1,400 independent record stores across the country.
"This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store − the staff, the customers, and the artists − to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role they play in their communities," the official website reads.

Each year an artist takes on the role of the Record Store Day ambassador.
This year, "Still Into You" band Paramore will serve as the face of grassroots music culture and voice the need to support local record businesses.
"The discovery of music was always meant to be romantic. Indie record shops are some of the only spaces we’ve got that offer a tangible, tactile experience of music discovery," the band wrote on the event website. "Thankfully, for all our sakes, there still survives among the chaos, the purity and radical simplicity of a great record store."
The band, fronted by Hayley Williams, is fresh off the end of their 20-year recording contract with Atlantic Records and two wins at the Grammy Awards. The group became the first female-fronted artist to win a Grammy for Best Rock Album for last year's release of "This Is Why."
Record Store Day attendees may find exclusive releases, like David Bowie's "Waiting in the Sky," Daft Punk's "Something About Us" and The Rolling Stones' self-titled record on April 20.
Limited-edition records from artists like Noah Kahan, Blur and Sophie Ellis-Bextor may also be up for grabs. A version of U2's "Atomic City" performed live at the Las Vegas Sphere will also be available.
Ringo Starr will also release a Record Store List solo release with a new four track EP titled "Crooked Boy." The former Beatles drummer's songs were written and produced alongside Songwriter’s Hall Of Famer Linda Perry.
"I'm really excited to be releasing an exclusive edition of my EP Crooked Boy for Record Store Day this year," Starr said, according to music news outlet Line of Best. "I've always loved record stores from 81 Renshaw or Brian's North End Music Store in Liverpool to Tower Records and Amoeba Records in LA, and I support them with Peace and Love."
