Record Store Day, now an annual affair, is happening on Saturday April 16th and stores across the country (and around the world) are celebrating the fact that you can still buy great music out in the real world. Record stores have often also provided a haven from the real world for music lovers, something which hopefully hasn't changed.

Record stores can't save your life. But they can give you a better one." Nick Hornby
