On April 18, music fans will line up outside Buddha Belly Records in Sayville before sunrise, hoping to get their hands on rare vinyl releases available for just one day each year. Record Store Day is an annual event, first held in 2008, to honor independent record stores and their culture. The event focuses on exclusive vinyl releases made specifically for that day and only available at brick-and-mortar record shops. Owner Michael Gerhardt is preparing for what he expects will be one of the busiest days of the year. Doors will open at 8 a.m., and customers can buy limited-edition records on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to the exclusive releases, the store plans to host live music, raffles, and giveaways.
