One of those marking the day, an annual event which supports independent music shops, will be Phoenix Sounds in Newton Abbot, Devon, which will be offering a range of exclusive releases from Kate Bush to Neil Young.

Owner Roger Cox and his team have planned a series of live performances at the Queen Street shop on the day. 

 “We are eagerly anticipating Record Store Day,”  Roger told local newspaper Teignmouth Today.

“This will be our second year and it is a chance to revel in our love for music and to offer some truly unique and sought-after releases.

“Since it started, Record Store Day has really shown how much independent record stores mean to music lovers and communities everywhere.”

Performing on the day will be local singer Olivia Rose and Steve Cooper will be attending with his ‘Retrospective’ DJ set. 

Phoenix Sounds will continue its tradition of supporting local causes with No Limits Café being the providers of bacon and vegan rolls for the keen enthusiasts queuing, some from 2am.

The first Record Store Day was in 2008 and it is now celebrated by thousands of record shops across the world. In the UK, more than 270 shops participate.

The annual day brings together vinyl enthusiasts, music lovers and communities in support of independent music stores.
