Even though we bid a tearful farewell to Vinyl Fever in February, several other high-quality indie record stores remain and are surviving by broadening their offerings, stocking plenty of vinyl to meet the revival demands, and getting involved in the internationally-recognized Record Store Day campaign, a celebration of indie music retail. This year marks the fifth annual edition and each store involved locally carries limited, RSD-exclusive (not available anywhere else) releases as well as offering related promotions and presenting live music throughout the day and in some cases, late into the night.

Record Store Day 2011 is held this Saturday, April 16. Check out a comprehensive breakdown of three Bay area stores hosting full-scale events after the jump, along with a list of some recommended RSD-exclusive releases.
