Music fans queued for hours in the rain this morning to pick up exclusive vinyl released on this year’s Record Store Day. The inclement weather didn’t deter the vinyl obsessives queuing outside Action Records as they awaited the 8am opening of Preston’s oldest independent record shop. We went along to find out more.It’s 7.45am, a queue snakes around Action Records, all the way along Derby Street and around the corner, along Percy Street.
Luke has his eye on a number of releases; The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet LP, Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Streetcore LP, T. Rex Rockin’ & Rollin’ LP, and The Pogues Stiff Records B Sides amongst others. Anna and her dad Steve have travelled over from Chorley and arrived outside Action at 4am. It’s the fourth time they’ve been to Record Store Day in Preston. Steve has been collecting vinyl since the ’80s and is hoping to pick up the U2 EP, Fleetwood Mac’s Albatross on 12” and Sweet’s Blockbuster/Ballroom Blitz. Anna is hoping to buy the sought-after Taylor Swift’s Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions, The 1975 and Sam Fender’s 7”.
