RECORD STORE DAY: Saturday April 17, 2010

For the third year running, Soundscapes will be participating, along with hundreds of other independent music retailers, in Record Store Day.

A whole slew of labels and distributors are supplying limited-edition 7"s, LPs and CDs for exclusive sale on Saturday, April 17th; stock on all these items (a comprehensive list of which is up at the event's official website) is so limited, though, that we won't know in advance what exclusive items we'll be carrying, which is all the more reason to drop by our shop on the 17th to see what surprises await on our shelves, available for purchase on that day only.

Furthermore, in celebration of Record Store Day, all CDs, vinyl, DVDs and books will be 10% off, so we hope to see you then!
