Ready to get groovy, Charleston? Record Store Day is happening on Saturday, April 12, and we’re turning the tables on how you listen to music. From classic rock legends like The Beatles and Pink Floyd to iconic voices across genres like Bob Dylan and Marvin Gaye — there’s vinyl for just about everyone at these local music hubs.

Unplug the aux cord and dust off your dad’s old record player. We’ve rounded up four local shops that are well-stocked and in tune with your musical needs for Record Store Day.

Gray Cat Music | North Charleston

Gray Cat Music is opening at 8 a.m., with a selection of limited-edition RSD releases based on customer buzz. Early birds in line will be entered into raffle giveaways, and shoppers can score 15% off used vinyl, 10% off new vinyl (excluding RSD titles), and 15% off CDs, cassettes, and tees.

Black Circle Records | Summerville

In partnership with Public Works Art Center and 360Clean, Black Circle is hosting a sustainability-themed Record Store Day celebration. Expect DJ sets, secondhand vinyl, art supplies, and racks of pre-loved fashion. The first 150 attendees get a free reusable tote, and raffles include rare vinyl and local artwork.
