Record Store Day organizers are so content with the success of vinyl sales, they’re creating a brand new, weekly event: Vinyl Tuesday. Instead of having to wait for the biennial RSD event, fans will now have access to new records and exclusive releases on a weekly basis!
Considering that vinyl sales continue to grow, expanding Record Store Day will give fans a more-regular opportunity to shop at their local record store. The press release describes five types of records that will be available each week: “catalog releases, commercial and promotional releases, releases made specifically for the Record Store Day indie community, vinyl editions of albums that were previously released on CD and digitally, and exclusive vinyl releases that drop before their digital editions.”
This will be a nice way to adjust to new albums coming out on Fridays instead of Tuesdays! While no official launch date for Vinyl Tuesday has been given, we’re hopeful, considering all of the great material that was released on the last Record Store Day.
