Record Store Day Ambassador pins that were handed out to the first handful of people in line. She released “The Lakes” 7inch vinyl this year for record store day in clear pressing with the lakes on Side A and the lakes (original version) on Side B. Swift is Record Store Day’s first ever global ambassador bringing more more of her fans to record stores. This years record store day was a little different Taylor Swift was chosen to be the official Record Store Day Ambassador. The important thing to remember is that not every year is the same. Knowing what we wanted to purchase made Record store 10 times more easier for us to get in and get out with our desired records. With our list in hand we had planned which two records we were on the search for, the Haim “Gasoline” 7 inch and the Ariana Grande “ k bye for now (sweeter live)” 12 inch. The Record Store Day website ( ) comes out with a list of releases a few months prior, in alphabetical order by artist showing the title of the album the artist and if you click on it it usually will show the cover and what pressing the vinyl will be. Vinyl Cup’s line around the block around 8am on July 13th also know as Record Store Day 2021.

I attended record store day last year at Vinyl Cup Records located in downtown Omaha in the Old Market.

Record store day is an annual event that began in 2007 as a Saturday in April that brings recognition to independently owned record stores. I quickly learned this when I attended my first record store day in July of 2021. The price is usually determined by the quantity and the pressing of the record. I have to admit the whole experience is truly exhilarating but the aesthetic of the records is definitely a plus. It allows you to listen to something all the way through without skipping, an experience I wouldn’t normally choose while digitally streaming my music. The more and more records I started to add to my collection I found that purchasing records that you may only know one or two songs off of can benefit you. I bought my first record at Walmart picking the two available albums that I knew the most songs off of Blurry Face by Twenty One Pilots and Astroworld by Travis Scott. The thought of being able to turn off all my distractions such and just listen to music was something i’ve always wanted. It has always been something i’ve wanted to do but didn’t want to buy a record player without much knowledge of where to take care of them or that I would instantly regret my purchase. I started collecting records in March of 2021. Lydia Hernandez, Media Day Editor | April 29, 2022
