Action Records is taking part in tomorrow's Record Store Day, a national celebration of vinyl bringing a range of limited edition releases to its Church Street store.

Owner Gordon Gibson, who opened the shop in 1981 after starting off on a stall in Blackpool two years earlier, said: “As usual it’s always very busy!

"This year we are carrying more than 500 lines, so there’s a lot of stock to go out and labels to write so everyone knows what is what.”

“Dance, reggae, blues, rock. It’s a brilliant day.

"Everyone that gets down early should be able to get what they want. We've some serious stock on show."
