Discogs has partnered with Record Store Day for an international online shopping event on 22nd April.

This post-event sale is called "Record Store Day Afters" and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm in the UK. It will allow fans all around the world to buy exclusive limited-edition releases from official shops online.

The full list of participating regions – which includes the UK, Australia, and Canada – can be found on the Discogs Site. If you’re in an eligible area, it could be a great chance to get hold of anything you missed during the main event on Saturday 20th April.

This year’s Record Store Day is the 17th edition of the event. Vinyl sales rose by nearly 12 per cent in the UK during 2023, hitting close to six million LP sales in total, a huge increase from the paltry 200,000 sold in 2007 when RSD was founded.
