"Most of my memories from my teens and early 20s are of hanging out in record shops. Now DJs have software that means they get sent all their promos on MP3. But it's not the same as having to make sure you're in the right shop on the right day, just so you can get your hands on the new Notorious BIG track and be the first to play it in a club that weekend."

Warner Bros. Records is not only a partner in Record Store Day, but readies more vinyl for release than any other label.
