Record Store Day in St. Louis: What's Going on at Vintage Vinyl, Apop Records and Euclid Records?
On Saturday, April 17, record stores around the country are celebrating Record Store Day -- a time to unplug from iTunes, eMusic and Amazon MP3 (or torrent sites) and purchase tunes in-person. As enticement, Record Store Day features a slew of limited-edition/exclusive releases -- a comprehensive list can be found here -- that are available on April 17.
