Record Store Day 2017

Seven o’clock in the morning and there’s a line of excited individuals winding themselves around the building. You’d be mistaken for thinking this was a queue for the latest iPhone 23X or Playstation74. In fact, these music fans are here for one reason – and one reason only: to sniff out an exclusive release and bag themselves a piece of history.

Yes, it’s that time of year again. Elbow deep in crisp, shiny vinyl sleeves, Record Store Day brings together a loyal music community who appreciate the better things in life – providing they come in 7″, 10″ or 12″ denominations. Needless to say, with so many in-store events to celebrate, it’s time you got to grips with London’s offerings. Here are our picks of the events to check out.
