MUSIC fans hunting exclusive vinyl from the likes of David Bowie and Pink Floyd queued around the corner at the only independent record shop in Salisbury on Saturday.

A number of limited-edition releases had been allotted to Vinyl Collectors and Sellers in the Cross Keys Shopping Centre to mark Record Store Day.

By 8am about 60 people were queuing at the shop established by Paul Smith less than two years ago.

The earliest was Roane Manning from Amesbury, who turned up at just after 3am to secure his place at the head of the queue.

The 18-year-old, who studies performing arts at Andover College, said he had been keen to get his hands on a picture disc of Madonna's self-titled first album.

Roane, who was first in the queue last year too, snapped up limited pressings by Canadian singer Mac DeMarco, Norwegian singer Sigrid, and indie rock band Florence and the Machine.

He said the next record fanatic had arrived two hours later, disappointed to be beaten to the front of the queue.

Mr Smith said: "The shop was inundated all weekend with people from all over the area wishing to obtain these special edition records for their collections.

"In the first hour of trading on the Saturday the shop had taken a normal week's money.”

The increased footfall extended into Sunday as well. The shop took three weeks' income in the space of two days.

Mr Smith added: "After all the negative recent press the city has received it is great that Record Store Day had given the city something positive to report."

Now in it's eleventh year, Record Store Day aims to get people back into buying physical music products on the high street.

It was launched after downloading and streaming services sent bricks-and-mortar music stores into decline.

Over 250 independent stores take part in this national event.
