Record Store Day 2013 was held Saturday April 20, 2013 at Park Ave CDs and cities all over the US. In Orlando, at the start of the event, Mayor Buddy Dyer's Mayoral Proclamation in recognition of the day was read aloud by City of Orlando Commissioner Robert F. Stuart.
Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the US.
The line of shoppers wrapped down the sidewalk of the Park Ave CDs plaza, around the kneecap-high wall, in front of, on the side and behind the Shell gas station.
Metallica kicked off the very first Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008. Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.
This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music.
A Record Store Day participating store is defined as a stand alone brick and mortar retailer whose main primary business focuses on a physical store location, whose product line consists of at least 50% music retail, whose company is not publicly traded and whose ownership is at least 70% located in the state of operation. (In other words, we’re dealing with real, live, physical, indie record stores—not online retailers or corporate behemoths).
