Vinyl Revival celebrates Record Store Day, the international day to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store, on April 20, 2024, 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.
As part of the Record Store Day celebration, there will be a pop-up shop featuring rock ‘n’ roll pillows by Tamme Handmade. Each item is lovingly made by textile artist Tamme McClelland whose creative imagination goes into every design.
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 10 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.

There are so many great releases to choose from, we hope to have your favorites!
This past year, we had to say goodbye to our long-time space in the Historic Lansdowne Theater building. And now that we’re finally settled into our new space at 26 N. Lansdowne Avenue, we must pack up and move the store again!
2024 is going to kick off with renovations, fresh paint, packing and unpacking boxes, and organizing displays in our new space at 19 N. Lansdowne Avenue.
But before we look ahead to 2024, we look back at the fun events we planned and the new music that was released in 2023.
We put the needle on the record when we taped a segment with Bob Kelly FOX 29 for an episode of “Kelly Drives.”
