The resurgence of vinyl records has brought back the joy of analog sound storage. With millions of people seeking out these flat discs, Record Store Day has become a celebration of independent record stores worldwide. This year’s event coincided with the release of Taylor Swift’s new album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” Jesse Feldman, co-owner of Rust & Wax in West Palm Beach, reported selling plenty of Swift albums immediately.
Many music enthusiasts were excited to be a part of Record Store Day. Mark Servilio had marked the day in his calendar and requested time off from work, while Brittany Sanchez-Diaz mentioned not being able to sleep due to her passion for the event. For these customers, listening to vinyl records is the superior way to experience music. They value not just the music itself but also the communal experience of coming together with like-minded individuals to celebrate their shared passion for music.
