Ozzy Osbourne as The Record Store Day Ambassador - 2011

April 16, Sweden's record shops together and participate in the annual International Record Store Day.

The aim is to focus on the unique breadth and depth, in both knowledge and product range, which is shared by all enthusiastic record stores across the country. And to celebrate the love of music.

There will be live performances, record signings, and selected products at special prices throughout the week.

Record Store Day began in 2008 with that Metallica did a live appearance in the record store Rasputin Music in San Francisco - What's happening in your record store Saturday, April 16th?

OZZY OSBOURNE AS THE RECORD STORE DAY AMBASSADOR 2011. A brief message from the man himself:





Last year, a man in Maine sat down with his video camera to go through some of the cool things that had been arriving at his stores (Bull Moose) lately. That man was Chris Brown, who happened to think up the idea of Record Store Day in the first place, and his video featuring some of the pieces scheduled for release on Record Store Day 2010 was a big hit. Some of you have specifically requested that he do it again, and Chris is a good guy, so he sat down with his trusty camera and some releases you just might have on your wish list for Record Store Day 2011. Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado: CHRIS BROWN AND THE RELEASES OF RECORD STORE DAY (appearing all week, remember to tip your waitress)
