Princeton Record Exchange will celebrate National Record Store Day on Saturday, April 18. Doors open at 10 a.m., but customers line up much earlier than that to increase their chances of purchasing rarer titles. As a special treat, the musical group Wild Rice will perform in-store at 6 p.m. The psychedelic band includes current and former Record Exchange staff.

The purpose of National Record Store Day is to celebrate independently owned record stores. On this day, hundreds of limited edition titles are sold all over the country. This year’s slate of releases covers a wide scope of genres. Some of the highlights include The Doors Strange Days in mono (first mono re-issue since 1967); Jerry Garcia’s Compliments on green vinyl; Phish’s New Year’s Eve 1995 Live at MSG, and many more.

Princeton Record Exchange has been consistently ranked as one of the top record stores in the country. The store has been buying and selling new and used music and movies since 1980. Princeton Record Exchange is located at 20 South Tulane Street in downtown Princeton. Learn more at www.prex.com.
