NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Music fans across the country are celebrating Record Store Day.
Fans in Nashville started lining up outside Jack White's record store shortly after midnight Friday, vying for special releases. White tells The Associated Press that even though record stores are closing all over the place, vinyl sales are growing.
Labels big and small released more than 300 items exclusive to Record Store Day this year, the fourth year of the celebration meant to draw fans to their local independent record store. That's nearly twice as many as last year.
White contributed two 7-inch rereleases of The White Stripes' first singles. Other special releases included Ryan Adams' double 7-inch, the Nirvana "Hoarmoaning" EP rerelease and the test-pressing of Big Star's "Third" for days.
