Record Store Day Event

About this event

Record Store Day 2025 is just around the corner, and you'll want to join us for a celebration like nobody else on this side of the river does it! Our doors open at 7:00 am for the RSD die-hards looking to secure those hard to find titles you can only find at Independent Record Stores. Folks will begin lining up several hours before the doors open, so come join them and make new friends with fellow record collectors and music lovers.

We will begin going through the line a little before 6:00 am and taking your TOP 2 REQUESTS. If we have them in stock, we will pull them for you, and have them already behind the counter with your name on them. We have been doing this since we opened, and everyone agrees that it makes RSD so much more enjoyable when you know you don't have a mad rush with mob mentality rushing the shelves to grab something. If you just came for the 1 or 2 pieces, you can go right to the counter and check out.

If, you want more, you can feel free to look around and take your time knowing that your top 2 requests are safe and waiting for you at the counter when you are ready to check out. We will have the best RSD selection in the metro-east area, as well as the best prices. Feel free to compare. We don't mark up the hot titles, or every title for that matter. RSD has a suggested retail price and allows a % for stores to mark up above that if they choose. Our prices are very fair, and we sell through most of our RSD inventory in a few days. However, just a word of advice, if you're looking for the hot RSD releases (Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Post Malone, etc.) and you wait until Sunday or Tuesday because you didn't want to "fight the crowds", please don't be mad at us when we don't have any of these left. These titles will likely sell out EXTREMELY FAST, and are most likely the same titles that folks will have camped out in line several hours for.

In addition to the hundreds of LIMITED EDITION RSD TITLES that will be available, we will also be running storewide sales on just about everything!

• 20% - 50% OFF ALL PRE-OWNED VINYL
• BUY 1, GET 1 FREE ON SELECT NEW VINYL
• 10% - 50% OFF ALL BOX SETS

Klausti's Food Truck will be on site serving fantastic eats beginning at 12:00 pm with LIVE MUSIC from Olive Acoustic 12:30 - 1:30 pm followed by Rock Crown from 2:00 - 3:00 pm. Oh yeah, we almost forgot...we will once again have our Limited RSD T-Shirts available. This time it's a very cool vintage camo shirt! Show everyone that you are a proud member of the RiverBend Records Army! You're already enlisted, but we promise not to make you shave your head.

We can't wait to see everyone on Saturday, April 12th. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us through messenger, or call the shop at 618-433-1673, and we will be happy to answer any questions.
