Record Store Day 2016: Hundreds in Shropshire rush to get vinyl
Hundreds across Shropshire were rushing out today for Record Store Day where they can get their hands on limited edition vinyl records - with some queuing up outside shops from as early as 6.30am.
Record Store Day was launched in 2007 when more than 700 independent stores in the USA came together to mark their unique culture.

The UK followed suit and 2015 will see the eighth commemoration when all the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music.
