Record Store Day 2014 takes place on April 19. The event, now in its seventh year, was conceived by a group of independent record store owners to promote and celebrate the culture surrounding vinyl records, and independent record stores, according to the website.

There are now over 1000 independent record stores in the U.S. participating in the event, which sees many bands release singles or 45s made for the event, live albums or re-releases of classic albums.

Most of these releases are on vinyl, exclusively.

In addition to the special releases, there are also events and in store performances at some of the participating stores.

Oakland's 1-2-3-4 Go! Records has, in the past, celebrated Record Store Day with extended store hours, deals on their collection of new and used vinyl, as well as providing food trucks and games for those in attendance.

Keep up with their website or facebook page for more information on this year's event.
