Fort Collins: The Bizarre Bazaar: The Bizarre Bazaar is a local record store in Fort Collins that buys and sells used books, CDs and vinyl. Bizarre Bazaar is a very small shop that holds an array of different genres and types of music.
Make sure to stop by here for Record Store Day, not only because you would be supporting a local business but because they have planned festivities and major deals. According to their Facebook event, they are going to have free coffee, free cookies, a live performance with a vinyl DJ and the deal of 20% off all of their music inventory.
Check out their event here.
Loveland-Downtown Sound: Only a few miles outside of Fort Collins is the record store Downtown Sound that is also participating in Record Store Day. They open at 8 a.m. but recommend getting there much earlier due to the amount of people in previous years. According to their Facebook event, they are offering special items specifically for Record Store Day as well as promotional items including stickers and posters. They will be limiting the amount of special items everyone buys to make sure it is fair for everyone.
