All That Music & Video celebrates “Record Store Day”
10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 19
All That Music & Video, El Paso’s largest and most popular independently-owned music retailer, will join with hundreds of stores in the business throughout the U.S. to celebrate “Record Store Day” on April 19, 2008.
Record Store Day was organized by a number of independent record stores and music organizations and is endorsed by many well-known music artists.
Website information about Record Store Day is available at www.recordstoreday.com.
The purpose of Record Store Day is to recognize the unique place that record stores have in the national culture, as well as in our local communities. Despite many gloomy predictions about the future of record stores and dramatic changes in the music business, including authorized and unauthorized downloading of music, independent record stores have survived and continue to evolve.
“We have definitely been greatly affected by recent music industry developments,” says George Reynoso, owner of All That Music & Video. “The last six years have been a challenge, but it appears that despite the widespread downloading of music, there will continue to be a market for physical product in the form of CDs and even LPs for a long time, especially among both younger and older collectors.”
All That Music & Video will celebrate Record Store Day by inviting customers to enjoy a 10% discount on everything throughout the store (except sale items), including new and used CDs in all music categories, non-music merchandise, new and used DVD movies, and posters. The discount will also apply to All That Music & Video’s “LP Vault,” containing thousands of vinyl records by Rock, R&B, Soul and other artists.
As a bonus with every purchase on Record Store Day, customers will receive a coupon to redeem for a free coffee or cold drink at Kristoph’s Coffee House, located next door to All That Music & Video. Kristoph’s is also an independently-owned business.
