Record Store Day 2023: Manchester vinyl shops gear up for 'busiest day of the year' as fans set to queue for Taylor Swift and The 1975
On Saturday, Manchester’s bustling Northern Quarter is set to be busier than usual as music lovers flock to the city’s ‘vinyl valley’ in search of exclusive releases and limited editions as part of Record Store Day 2023.
The 53-year-old, from Sale, said: “We get as many titles as we can but you can’t guarantee you get everything you ask for. You may ask for 50 of something and only get 20 so it’s a little bit of a lottery but we always take part and it’s always a success and very busy. Richard added: “We’ve got crates and crates ready to put out. We try to get hold of the bigger releases each year, which are the ones that everyone wants. My guess this year is that it’ll be Taylor Swift and The 1975 that will be the two biggest sellers for us. We’ve got both available in quite large numbers so it’s going to be really good.”
“We open at 8am and we’ve got DJs on the day from midday until 6pm. The queue usually starts on Friday morning and they’ll stay all day and night, so I hope it doesn't rain. They got in touch with members of former Manchester punk band The Hoax, of which The Smiths’ Mike Joyce was a member, to put together the compilation of their first three EPs, all of which were recorded at Rochdale’s Cargo studios. All of the royalties from the record - pressed on red vinyl - are set to be donated to charity.
“I don’t think they listen to the independent shops enough and a lot of releases are rehashes of what’s already been before. “My other beef about it was a drop off in the quality of it and there seems to be a real lack of imagination about it. Some of it is alright but there’s about three titles I considered interesting. They’ve mostly taken the live recordings of the deluxe CDs and pressed them onto vinyl.
