Record Store Day at Vinyl and Vintage ‘Breaks’ all expectations!

Record Store Day (RSD) at Vinyl and Vintage has again been a great success! This year, rock stalwarts queued from early in the morning outside the new, larger shop, just across the road from the old premises.

On offer was a fabulous collection of new picture discs especially produced for Record Store Day 2018. Those that came early were not disappointed, and if previous years are to go by, the few remaining RSD records will be whizzing out of the door very quickly! Come in this week to see our left over stock.

In the afternoon visitors were treated to a rare acoustic set via up and coming band STONE BROKEN, a seriously cool UK band who are creating quite a name for themselves, both in the UK and Overseas. If you haven’t heard them on Kerrang! Radio or Planet Rock yet, we suggest that you check them out, and then order their latest picture disk from Vinyl and Vintage!

Don’t forget we are an Independent record store that offers the very best quality and value we can and regularly scour the land for great copies at sensible prices for you. Thanks to all our regulars, friends and supporters for making RSD extra special this year, Claire.

We will send the local cafe up to take orders of coffee, tea and a bacon, egg or sausage bap – likely to be £2 …. We hope to be in by 7 and if we`ve time will bring round a drink and a sugar rush treat !!!

Until the next RSD Update we are adding tons of records and cds to the racks daily – wow have we found some great stock hidden away in the old shop !!

New Shop Launch Party – Saturday 10th March 2018

Vinyl and Vintage (VNV) are moving to a great new shop in Wolverhampton – directly opposite where they are now!

Face Vinyl and Vintage where they are now and then ‘look directly behind you’ as they say…. that`s where they will be: 5-6 Cleveland Court on Cleveland Street.

Exciting times! They’ve had a tough time with the council and decided to bail before they were pushed as the regeneration in Wolves means there is no security at their current location and its likely to be demolished in the next year or two.

Claire says “5-6 Cleveland Court is a great opportunity for Vinyl and Vintage to design it how they always wanted their Record Shop to look!” Sarah has been hard at work doing all the refurbishment. Its taken the last two months with a fabulous stage also being built.

Vinyl and Vintage official new shop opening day will be Saturday 10th March 2018. Their last day at number 5a will be Saturday 3rd March 2018 and they hope to have the new shop up and running by the 7th March 2018.

THE GRAND OPENING IS ON SATURDAY THE 10 TH MARCH WITH LIVE BANDS AND SIGNINGS!

The Bands and Artists that will be at the Launch will be announced here shortly, so be sure to visit here again soon!

Thanks to all of you who have supported VNV over the last 5 years and we hope you’ll still support us at our new shop. 

Here is a sneak-preview of the stage backdrop:
