CRATE diggers are getting ready to ransack record stores across Oxfordshire.
Record Store Day, which features limited edition releases by pop legends including David Bowie and Madonna, takes place on Saturday.
Truck Store in Cowley Road, Rapture in Witney, Music Box in Wallingford and High Fidelity Cafe in Botley Road are preparing for vinyl’s biggest day of the year.
Charlie Burnett-Cooke, 19, who works at Truck, said: “It will be incredibly busy - we open at 8am and will be serving coffee to the queues from about 6am.”
Richard Strange at Music Box said: “It’s a massive day - people are asking for David Sylvian’s Dead Bees On A Cake on white vinyl.”
Chris Irons at High Fidelity Cafe is opening 11am to 3pm on Saturday to sell ‘special’ releases.
