For the first time ever, a RECORD RIOT is coming to the 500 block of South Street on June 8th, 2024!!!

This is a big one for vinyl and CD collectors, and those interested in seeing a wide variety of music all in one place. There will be 40+ tables of records from various vendors, along with some of our South Street neighbors who will also have tables set up outside.

This is a fun, free, all ages event

** Please contact recordriots@gmail.com for more info or inquiries about vending.

This year’s Record Store Day falls on Saturday April 20th.

REPO WILL BE OPEN AT 9 AM.

Link to full list of special releases is on the Record Store Day website.

— we will be posting a video in next day or two with more info about what we have planned for Record Store Day

— wondering what we will have in stock? Our full list of every item we will have and the quantity of each is below……

**If you’re new to RSD, please read:

—certain items seem to be heavily allocated this year (meaning we may have ordered 25 of something and only get 3) , so checking our list of quantities when we post it will help you plan your day …

—please don’t ask us when to line up. We’ve had years when people get out there at midnight, and years where they start at 6 am. It’s different every year, but yes there WILL be a line.

— all items are limited , so we have to set limit to ONE of each title per customer (meaning you can grab as many different titles that you’d like, but you can’t grab 3 of same title… it’s not fair to those in line behind you). You’re welcome to get back in line if you want to purchase multiples, and if any are left as line circles through, that is fine.

—if you’re looking to purchase over the phone, we are not taking phone orders until line is over with. We need to make it fair to everyone that came and stood in line!

—there are no holds or early purchasing for RSD so please don’t even ask 🥹

—in the morning when we open, we will let one-two people in at a time so we can ensure they get what they came for. This moves pretty fast, and we’ve found works better than a mad rush as soon as the doors open.

—we can’t control what goes on down on South Street at night while we’re not there, but we do alert the police beforehand to make sure they know to keep an eye on our corner while customers are standing outside

— this year we will have a food truck and baked goods from @thechillybanana and @softbellycookies setting up first thing in morning… we also have Spread Bagel, Three Graces, Lombard Cafe, Federal Donuts all within a block of us that open pretty early in the morning.

Everyone’s favorite day of the year, REX MANNING DAY (if you don’t get it, please watch the movie Empire Records and then you will get it). This year it falls on Saturday April 6th.
