Record Store Day is a collaborative initiative that celebrates the culture surrounding independently owned record stores in the United States and around the world. The day brings together hundreds of stores and a wide array of artists for exclusive vinyl and CD releases and promotional items, with numerous performances and appearances. It was founded in 2007, conceived by Chris Brown and established by a group that included Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave, and Brian Poehner, and it now centers on the third Saturday in April. Based in Los Angeles, California, Record Store Day operates in the entertainment providers industry with a small staff coordinating events, releases, and partnerships. A recent development is the 2026 announcement of a limited edition Elizabeth Taylor 7-inch vinyl for that year, pressed in a blue-and-purple Cry My Eyes Violet Glitter variant.
