RECORD STORE DAY - 12th April 2025

The first official event took place on April 19th, 2008, and today it is celebrated by thousands of record shops all over the globe in what's become the biggest new music event of the past decade.

Record Store Day is a day for the people who make up the world of the record shop - the staff, the customers, the artists, the labels - to come together and honour the special role they place in their local communities. In the UK, over 270 shops participate in every corner of the country.

At the Vinyl Revival Store it's a great day when our customers come together to celebrate their passion for music on vinyl and we are hoping that, when we open our gates on Saturday 12th April at 8:30 am, there will be a big queue.

1 month before

Let us know what you want - All releases are limited editions and the best way to ensure that we stock copies of the record(s) that you want you is by sending us a wish list

There are over 400 titles on the official Record Store Day list and we cannot stock everything. But we will order everything that is on our customers' wish lists (and more)

1 week before

If you sent us a wishlist please check your email for confirmation ofv what we will have in stock.

If haven't sent us a wish list you can call us a few days before and we will be able to tell what's going to be available. But please don't phone on the day as we will be to busy to answer the phone.

On the day

- before we open

If there is a "must have at all costs" release on your wish list you are advised to arrive early as the queue usually starts to form in the early hours and in previous years there have been be over 60 people waiting outside when we open.

For all the "early birds" our friends at The Vine in the High Street will be serving hot drinks and breakfast rolls from 7:30 am. Before then we will give out numbered tickets so that you can save our place in the queue
