We're continuing our Record Store Day tradition of spinning album sides all day and of placing vintage vinyl from the XRT studio at record stores throughout Chicagoland. These albums have been played (we’re talking a lot!) on XRT over the past five decades. They have markings and comments from DJs that make these albums perfect for your collection with a suggested minimum donation of $20 to the Lin Brehmer Scholars Fund.
Here's the complete list of participating record stores and a peek at the albums available at each location. Limit one purchase per customer, please.
