There are few things in this world that bring people together like listening to music. Dropping the needle on a fresh piece of vinyl comes with an unbridled excitement, mystery and pure enjoyment that is impossible to recreate. In honor of Record Store Day, we’re bringing back WTTS Album Side Saturday. Join us April 21 as we spin classic album sides all day long. Every hour, win vinyl releases and exclusive WTTS turntable slip mats. WTTS Album Side Saturday gets underway April 21 at 6am, brought to you by Indy CD & Vinyl and Hop Cat Broadripple.
Paul Mendenhall talks with Andy Skinner of Indy CD & Vinyl about Record Store Day.
