Independent record stores to be celebrated in relaunched #RecordStoreoftheDay campaign

A campaign to celebrate independent record stores in the UK has been relaunched.

Originally launched back in March at the onset of lockdown, #RecordStoreOfTheDay is back from today (13th November) to fly the flag for stores across the country. It kicks off with Resident in Brighton.

Posted on Instagram, Record Store of the Day organisers said, “We are excited to announce that Record Store of the Day is back! In response to lockdown 2.0, we thought it only right to continue our campaign highlighting the best indie record stores around, starting with @residentbrighton.⁣”

Supported by Association of Independent Music, BPI, ERA and more, the initiative will focus on one independent record store each day of the week. See the full list of record stores below.

Back in June, a separate event, Love Record Stores Day, boosted music retail by £1 million.
