Record Store Day is the ultimate celebration of independent music shops, exclusive vinyl releases, and the thrill of discovering limited, edition gems. This year, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, Factory Records stands out as the smartest choice for vinyl enthusiasts, here's why:

1. Earliest Opening Time + Flexible Perks: We open our doors at 6 AM earlier than any other store! Arrive early to grab your numbered postcard, which secures your spot in line for the Record Store Day Hall opening at 8 AM. No need to stand around for hours in the cold or early morning. Instead, start shopping in our main hall right away, enjoy the company of fellow music lovers, grab a coffee or bagel in our lounge, or even leave and come back in time for the Hall's opening at 8 AM.
2. Massive Selection Guaranteed: With over 350 titles and more than 3,000 albums ordered, Factory Records is most likely to have exactly what you're hunting for. From exclusive RSD releases and limited editions to rare finds, our huge inventory means less disappointment and more scores.
3. Exclusive Raffle Prize: If you sign up with us on Eventbrite, you automatically get entered into our raffle with a prize of a $25 Gift Card to our store. Two winners will be picked, one at 11AM and one in the afternoon.
