But every April, this international celebration of independent brick-and-mortars offers a reminder that New York City's best music stores are alive and thriving. Expect the masterminds behind the event to roll out hundreds of exclusive releases ranging from limited-edition pressings to colored vinyl to picture-discs and more.
