Record Store Day 2023: Full release list including Taylor Swift & Madonna - all participating Leeds stores

Record Store Day is nearly here to shine a spotlight on the role of independent record stores in Leeds. The event celebrates the culture of more than 250 independent record stores across the UK and is always a busy time as thousands rush out to take advantage of special and exclusive vinyl releases.

Record Store Day was established in 2007 during a gathering of independent record store owners, followed by its first official event in April 2008. Record stores can also mark the occasion by hosting live artist performances and Q+A sessions.

This year, Record Store Day will take place on Saturday, April 22. Here is everything you need to know about Record Store Day 2023 and how to celebrate it in Leeds.
