The first annual Cassette Store Day kicks off Saturday (Sept. 7), offering the equivalent of Record Store Day for tape lovers everywhere. In celebration of the classic, ‘80s-style cassette, the day will offer limited edition tape releases from a collection of labels and artists.

A few of the releases set for Cassette Store Day include Animal Collective (“Sung Tongs”), the Flaming Lips (“The Terror”), Guided by Voices (“English Little League”), At the Drive-In (“Relationship of Command and Acrobatic Tenement”), Helm (“Orange Tanks”), Eternal Summers (“Correct Behavior”), Volcano Choir (“Repave”), Los Campesinos! (“A Good Night for a Fist Fight”), JJ DOOM (“Keys to the Kuffs Butter Edition”), Haim (“Forever” EP), Deerhunter (“Monomania”) and Gold-Bears (“Are You Falling in Love?”) and Gold Panda (“Half of Where You Live”) among others.

A selection of stores in the U.K., Europe and North America have signed on to take part in the debut Cassette Store Day event. For a complete list of participating shops around the world, visit Cassette Store Day’s official website.
