What have you got planned in store for Record Store Day 2017? We’ve had the Beatles and Elvis in previous years, so what’s left? Obviously a Japanese themed Record Store Day with men in their finest traditional Japanese robes. Along with groovy ‘60s Japanese pop, sushi, green tea and a hologram J-Pop girl performing on video.
Why do you think having a dedicated Record Store Day is important? RSD provides an opportunity for music fans, vinyl collectors and stores to get together and celebrate their shared passion.
Will you have any new releases or special discounts? We recently picked up a large quantity of high quality Japanese pressings hence our theme for the day. Plenty of the special Record Store Day releases and, as usual, we’ll have great discounts off all stock including new vinyl, a new vinyl sale and (for the first time ever), Audiophile Label Mobile Fidelity – vinyl and SACD’s heavily discounted on selected titles.
What is your all time favourite record? The Partridge Family. Most of the Beatles’ catalogue, Trichotomy, E.S.T., Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Leonard Cohen and many others. Have always had commitment issues.
What sets your store apart in contrast to other stores? We’re a destination – a place for lovers of all music to come in, have a chat and a listen. We stock used vinyl, CDs and DVDs and a huge range of new LP titles, all at prices among the cheapest in town.
