Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1000 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. There are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.
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 these independently owned stores play in their communities. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on. Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.
Some of this year's special vinyl releases include
Paramore - Ain't It Fun (Single)
Katy Perry - PRISM (Picture Disc)
Zedd - Find You; Turn Up Your Night Edition (Single)
Betty Who - Heartbreak Dream (Single)
Sky Ferreira - Night Time, My Time (Picture Disc)
Childish Gambino - Because The Internet
One Direction - Midnight Memories (Single)

I'm pressed a bit though
when they announced it originally I thought it was the album not the single
I'm hoping the other customers are too alt/indie/grunge to go for it so I can snatch

I made my list weeks ago of my must buys, I'm so stoked Banks, Bastille, Cults, Chvrches, Sky, The 1975, Paramore, and Haim are all on my list. Finally getting Edge on vinyl as part of the Forever 12", I cannot wait!
