TO mark the UK’s 10th annual Record Store Day this Saturday (April 22) Redditch’s only physical record shop, Vintage Trax, is celebrating the event in its own way – by not stocking any of the 500-plus new ‘exclusive’ vinyl being released for #RSD17!
Instead, the independent shop on Birchfield Road, Headless Cross has compiled its own offering of collectable retro picture discs, shaped discs, coloured vinyl and limited edition issues of 7” and 12” singles, LPs and box sets for music fans.
“Our customers are looking for good quality original albums and 7”/12” singles, and so rather than committing a big chunk of our stock budget to the RSD releases, we’re focusing on offering our biggest ever range of retro vinyl.” said owner Ros Sidaway.
“We have recently purchased bulk stock of LPs from a retiring record trader, therefore ensuring fresh pre-loved vinyl on sale every day!”
And there will be much more happening in store on the day, from 10.30am until 5.00pm, including……
* Free raffle ticket with every purchase to win a Vintage Trax Loyalty Card, giving ten per cent off future vinyl purchases
* Spend £100 or more and get a free £20 voucher
* Quality brand audio equipment clearance sale
* Local solo artists’ and bands’ CDs available
* Free hot and cold soft drinks
* Plus hear great music throughout the day.
“We’ll also be fundraising for the John Bonham Memorial (www.johnbonhammemorialfund.com) – the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer who was born just a few yards from our shop,” added Ros.
