Record Store Day launches #RSDFillTheGap vinyl campaign
This weekend was the original Record Store Day date, and there's still a way to celebrate vinyl and support record shops.
This Saturday, April 18 was due to be Record Store Day 2020.
Sadly, due to the coronavirus pandemic, Record Store Day has been delayed with a new date proposed in June.
However, the organisation behind the event is still looking to celebrate vinyl and record shops, and has come up with a solution.
The #RSDFillTheGap campaign is encouraging vinyl lovers to support their local record store on Saturday by pledging to buy a record that’s missing from their collection.
Fans are encouraged to take to social media, use the hashtag, and share the record they plan to buy from their favourite record shop.
Of course it doesn't need to be just a pledge – plenty of record stores are offering deliveries on online orders including Aberdeen's Chameleon.
A regular list of current vinyl releases as well as upcoming issues can be found at https://www.chameleon.scot/vinyl/
Record Store Day 2020 is now scheduled to take place on June 20.
