Record Store Day is marked around the world, celebrating the role of independent music stores in encouraging and supporting music that goes far beyond the Top 40 options on offer at the supermarket and shopping malls. The day has also become a celebration of vinyl, with hundreds of records being released in limited editions on the day.
Waiheke radio will celebrate Record Store Day with a Counting The Beat special from 8pm - 10pm on Saturday 13th April. We'll be spinning some of the New Zeland music released for this Record Store Day and from years past. And we'll also be featuring other recent New Zealand vinyl releases.
