It is not out of pure luck that the, now famous, Record Store Day transformed from an “inside joke”, a small gathering with a few lunatics, into a worldwide celebration in which participate hundreds of musicians, thousands of record stores and many large and small record companies with vinyl record limited editions, only for that specific day. The Record Store Day is now an annual affair, devoted to independent record stores and not to vinyl records, as it often is mistaken. It is traditionally held on the third weekend of April every year.
