CD Store Day is an annual observance intended to recognise the value of Compact Discs as a music format. It was founded on the 13th of January in 2016, by a small group of Malaysians consisting of a music fan, a record shop owner and a former employee of record labels. It is held on the first Saturday of September each year to celebrate the culture of the independently owned record store that sells CDs.[1] The day brings together fans, artists, and thousands of independent record stores across the world.[2] A number of CDs are pressed specifically for CD Store Day, and are only distributed to shops participating in the event. The celebration is inspired by Record Store Day and Cassette Store Day.
