The
international event, originated in USA, has been running since 2007
and was
created to encourage music lovers to shop at their local record
store.
Music
Mania will be the hub of the action at Hanley’s Piccadilly
Arcade; with fans coming to the store to get their hands on new
vinyl’s and CDs from well-known artists such as David Bowie and
Pulp.
Music
Mania manager Ian Gadsby said: "It
really highlights to people that record stores still exist, a lot of
people thought there weren’t any left in the country."
Indie
act Camp Stag are releasing a limited run of 50 copies of EP When The
Lights Come Down, available as a CD in a handmade sleeve along with a
spray painted lightbulb.
Guitarist
Dan Nixon of Camp Stag said: "Any
excuse to get out and play is great, but something like RSD is really
awesome to be apart of.
"I
worked at Music Mania for a while so I have very close ties to the
place. We all love the place and independent record stores in
general, so RSD is a big deal for us."
In
association with Rubber Soul Records, The Old Brown Jug in
Newcastle-under-Lyme will be hosting an all-day event of music
featuring local artists such as Nicola Jayne Chirnside and Clair Brennan and
Manchester folk band Naymedici.
Robert
Barrs of Rubber Soul Records said: "We will be having about six
traders at our gig at the Jug which will have people performing until
1am.
"People
should be queuing from early and we will have free things to give out
so we're really looking forward to it."
Jack White, ambassador for Record Store Day 2013, is giving US residents
the chance to record their own vinyl record at Nashville's Third Man Records.
Global Groove Records in
Hanley will be open especially for tomorrow from 10am-4pm.
Music
Mania and Rubber Soul Records will be open from 8am with acts
performing from 12pm.
