“Record stores were floundering. And this was peak digital download and Apple iTunes and stuff like that. So just the hardcore vinyl buyers were left buying at record stores. So there was a few record stores left. There was a dwindling business model.”

“For us. Records have never gone out of style. We started collecting records in our teens, so that would have been in the 80s, and it just never left for us. But there are whole generations that grew up without vinyl. They grew up with just downloads. So there is a whole generation that didn't see that. But. Are coming back to it now to see that, you get more of a tactile experience.”

STORYLINE:
JOSEY RECORDS IN DALLAS IS PREPARING FOR ONE OF THEIR BUSIEST DAYS OF THE YEAR.

SOUNDBITE (English) Luke Sardello, Josey Records:
“Even bigger than the Christmas season. Two days before Christmas. We expect to have a thousand people here that day.”

THAT DAY IS NATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY.

SOUNDBITE (English) Luke Sardello, Josey Records :
“We start working on it a couple of months in advance. Booking shows. We’re going to have four bands that day.”

IT’S AN ANNUAL TRIBUTE TO INDEPENDENT RETAIL MUSIC SELLERS, THAT COMES WITH SPECIAL RELEASES FROM ARTISTS AND LIVE PERFORMANCES.

AN ESTIMATED 14 HUNDRED INDEPENDENT RECORD STORES WILL PARTICIPATE.

IT WAS AN IDEA BORN OUT OF DESPERATION IN 2007.

SOUNDBITE (English) Waric Cameron, Josey Records:
“Record stores were floundering. And this was peak digital download and Apple iTunes and stuff like that. So just the hardcore vinyl buyers were left buying at record stores. So there was a few record stores left. There was a dwindling business model.”

BUT BUSINESS IS BOUNCING BACK.

THE RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA SAYS LAST YEAR -- REVENUE FROM VINYL RECORDS WERE UP TEN PERCENT TO 1 POINT 4 BILLION DOLLARS -- THE 17TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR OF GROWTH.

AND THAT'S KEEPING INDEPENDENT STORES GOING..

SOUNDBITE (English) Waric Cameron, Josey Records:
“For us. Records have never gone out of style. We started collecting records in our teens, so that would have been in the 80s, and it just never left for us. But there are whole generations that grew up without vinyl. They grew up with just downloads. So there is a whole generation that didn't see that. But. Are coming back to it now to see that, you get more of a tactile experience.”
