ALL THINGS RECORD STORE DAY
NEXT UP
WHAT: RECORD STORE DAY 2024
WHEN: SATURDAY, APRIL 20th -OPEN 9AM - 6PM!
WHERE: 10,000 Hz RECORDS + THE RAILYARD
Record Store Day 2024. Holy moly. What'll they think up next?
Here's how we're doing it:
_10,000 Hz Records [THE BRICK & MORTAR SHOP] will be open 9AM-6PM on Saturday, April 20th with our usual 8,000+ new vinyl titles in stock + the largest single used drop in our nearly 6 years of being in business + a bunch of fake records stashed throughout the shop that you can trade-in for prizes like white label promos, show tix, and all manner of free 10,000 Hz merch.
_10,000 Hz Records [THE RSD VINYL POP-UP SHOP] will open at 9AM in the Railyard and close around 4PM on Saturday, April 20th when we'll begin moving whatever RSD stock remains back indoors to prep for our online sale on Sunday, April 21st. All new RSD titles will still be available in the shop for the remainder of the day, but you may need to ask for them after about 4PM.
_If you're asking yourself what in the hell the RSD VINYL POP-UP SHOP is, it's this: we will set up all of the 250ish RSD 2024 releases that we've ordered for the day in the open air of the loading dock in the Railyard, about 20 yards down the street from our front door on 1st Avenue, just on the other side of Mama Mochas Coffee Roastery.
_Nothing too convoluted - just line up outside of the 1st Avenue entrance to the Railyard [it'll be clearly marked]. There will likely be a line, and it'll probably start pretty early that morning...usually gets a bit longer about an hour before we open, but it's hard to predict. The earlier you get there, the more likely you are to get a good spot in line, the more likely you are to get the things you're looking for. Pretty simple.
_RE: Covid safety: Yeah, Covid. Our staff will be wearing masks indoors and may choose to wear them in the Railyard at some times. We do not require customers to mask, but we do still have them on hand for those of you who would like to wear one inside the brick & mortar shop...it'll be a busy day in there with a lot of people coming through - we'd recommend it.
_The first 20 or so customers in line will enter the Railyard one by one with a little time between them at 9AM, and we'll try to keep capacity in the Railyard at roughly 20 shoppers at any given moment. We may also choose to cap the number of customers in the brick & mortar shop at staff + 15-20 people at a time. It's not a huge place and we want to make sure everyone can shop comfortably. There may be times where some folks will have to wait a few minutes to enter. Be cool about it, ok? You will be asked to check any shopping, tote, or otherwise large bags at the entrance to either space, ok?
_As usual, we've ordered *heavily* for this event, and we've done our best to get substantial quantities of the titles you all requested the most in our customer survey a couple of months back. That being said, please keep in mind that these titles are all limited edition and there are something like 1500 stores participating in Record Store Day events all over the U.S. this year, which we're pretty sure is substantially more than ever. Some titles will be hard to come by and/or will sell out quickly, but if you don't find what you're looking for, let us know! Our distributors may still have stock remaining on certain releases and we're happy to check for you.
_All of our RSD 2024 stock should be viewable but not, uh, "checkoutable" in the RSD 2024 tab at 10000HzRECORDS.COM by the end of the day on Thursday, April 18th, if not before. There, you'll be able to see descriptions, photos of the actual items, our prices, and our starting stock numbers for each title.
_FOR OUR ONLINE CUSTOMERS, all of our RSD titles that remain after our in-person Saturday event will be available at 10000HzRECORDS.COM beginning at 7AM [CST, Central, Alabama time] on Sunday, April 21st. We expect many of our remaining titles to move very quickly once they're made available on this site. If you intend to shop with us for RSD titles online, you should plan to do it early that Sunday morning, alright?
_As always, and per RSD rules, we cannot hold or pre-sell any RSD releases and they are all first come / first served.
_And of course, all RSD releases are one per person. On the website, that translates to all RSD releases being one per person/household/shipping address/credit card/whatever. Multiple online orders for the same RSD titles containing the same names, shipping addresses, billing addresses, email addresses, etc will be canceled without further explanation. No funny business. We don't play.
