From limited edition releases to in-store performances, Record Store Day 2017 has celebrated music and vinyl like never before. We took to the streets of London to uncover the records YOU purchased and the reasons behind them, even nabbing a cheeky recommendation from To Kill A King in the process.
DAVID BOWIE | CRACKED ACTOR + FATHER JOHN MISTY | PURE COMEDY
To Kill A King: “They’re both great records. You know, it’s Record Store Day and Pure Comedy is a great sound. And David Bowie? Well, it’s just a classic.
PUSSY CATS | STARRING HARRY NILSON + PRODUCED BY JOHN LENNON
“It’s a record that I’ve been searching for but never found in a record shop. It’s got so many great names. It features Harry Nilsson, Bob Dylan and was produced by John Lennon – what a brilliant era.”
THE BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE | DON’T GET LOST
“It’s my favourite band’s new album. It’s one of those albums I like from the beginning to the end. You can enjoy every single song. An LP has to be really special for me to buy it – and this one is.”
TAME IMPALA | INNERSPEAKER
“I just came in to have a look as it’s Record Store Day and I live nearby. It’s a great day and you need to support your local Record Shops. It’s supporting the music and the local community!”
PULP FICTION SOUNDTRACK | VARIOUS ARTISTS
“It’s a classic. Fantastic soundtrack. It never gets old. Well, that and, you know, she’s fucking hot!”
PRINCE | BATDANCE
“It’s a Prince record. There’s no reason not to love Prince. He’s a legend! Glad I got hold of this record.”
BABESHADOW | SEA SERPENTS
“Babeshadow remind me of my university days and intimate gigs in Dalston. It’s a sweet little record. Plus you can’t beat a signed copy!”
ELTON JOHN | 17-11-70
