April 22nd is the 10th anniversary of the annual day dedicated to record culture, record lovers, record makers and the record stores around the world that make it all possible.
Brendan Pfister, of Towradgi, was not surprised hundreds of music enthusiasts flocked to the store for the annual event.
“This is my fourth or fifth year coming here,” he said.
“It is really important to support small independent record stores. People always get into it. Music Farmers will be packed all day.”
Record Store Day is seen as playing a significant role in the vinyl revolution presently sweeping the world.
Music Farmers not only has exclusive RSD releases in store but entertainment from 3pm when The Vanns, Luke Spook and Melbourne’s Rhysics perform.
“We're also really excited that Farmer & The Owl will release the classic Totally Unicorn EP 'Horse Hugger' on vinyl. It is limited to 300 copies nation wide, is on pink vinyl and we'll have a good amount of stock on the day,” Mr Jeb Taylor said..
The Record Store Day organisation is managed by the Department of Record Stores and is organised in partnership with the Alliance of Independent Media Stores (AIMS), the Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS) and promotes independent record stores year-round with events, special releases and other fun things.
