Record Store Day at Vinyl Revival

Vinyl Revival celebrates Record Store Day, the international day to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store, on April 12, 2025, from 10 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Vinyl Revival will stock titles that are Record Store Day Exclusives, RSD First titles, and Small Run/Regional Titles.

Receive free Record Store Day promotional merch with a $50 purchase while supplies last.

Enjoy complimentary light refreshments and drinks.

Additionally, everyone who makes a purchase will receive a coupon for 20% off a future purchase (some restrictions apply).

Here’s how the line works:
There is usually a line so we will let in the first customer in line for 5 minutes of shopping then let in the next person in line, and so on. Doors will open to the general public/walk ups once all of the people in line have had a chance to shop.

RSD quantities are limited so there is a limit of one copy per title per customer.

If you’re looking for a specific title, please give us a call at 610-284-3537 or email us at info@vinylrevivalrecords.com on the Thursday or Friday before RSD and we can let you know if we expect to have what you’re looking to get.

Check out the list at recordstoreday.com.

There are so many great releases to choose from, we hope to have your favorites!

2024 Year-End Recap: Music Events and Highlights

At this time every year, we like to give a year-end recap.  2024 started off rather hectically as we were in the middle of moving the store (AGAIN!) and finishing renovations of our new current location. Since then, we’ve welcomed back our loyal customers and met many new folks who love music and enjoy listening to music on vinyl. We’ve held some great events along the way too! Here’s what 2024 looked like.  We look forward to many exciting events in 2025!

We gave out a lot of cool promotional materials and raffled off a number of special items from the bands.
