Record Store Day 2019

Taking place on the 13 April, Record Store Day brings together hundreds of the UK’s independent record shops to celebrate their unique culture. Special vinyl releases are made exclusively for the day and many shops host artist performances and events to mark the occasion. Whilst Piccadilly Records and Eastern Bloc are always at the forefront of Manchester’s RSD activities, there is a whole host of stores and venues with great offerings, including Vinyl Exchange, Vinyl Revival, Vinyl Fiction and Common.

2. Olafur Arnalds – Re:member & String Quartets
3. Bob Dylan – Blood On The Tracks – Original New York Test Pressing
