Music lovers and vinylphiles all over the country headed to their local, independent record stores on April 16 to celebrate Record Store Day. While many waited on lines since dawn, New Yorkers ventured to shops like Rough Trade, Other Music, Generation Records, and In Living Stereo to get their hands on some rare LPs from David Bowie, J Dilla, Patti Smith, and Madonna. The inaugural Record Store Day Crawl also launched and took LP collectors from store to store to feed their vinyl needs.
