PITTSBURGH — For its 2022 ambassador, Record Store Day turned to one of the industry's brightest stars, Taylor Swift, who has said she tours with a turntable in hand and who, last year, released a vinyl version of "Red" that had fans thinking theirs was broken: You had to play the LP at 45, not 33 1/3.
In her RSD statement, Swift said, in part, "Record stores are so important because they help to perpetuate and foster music-loving as a passion. They create settings for live events. They employ people who adore music thoroughly and purely."
One Pittsburgh store specializing in such live events is The Government Center, the North Side location run by Josh Cozby, who came here from Portland, Oregon, with his family in 2019 to open the store.
