Record Store Day Saturday 16th April 2016


The big day is nearly upon us. We love RSD here at Plectrum HQ. It's a great chance to catch up with old vinyl friends, make new ones and well, see the ones that are never away (the Plectrum's Dick and Barry's!). There's also a shed load of fantastic vinyl exclusives available. And Run The Jewels viewfinder, The Flaming Lips comic and Rega's RSD RP1 turntable (only 500 available globally). 

We're planning on hosting the event just like last year. Doors (well, gate) open at 8.00am. Anyone queuing please be mindful that we're in a residential area - many of our neighbours have young children and work in the morning. Just be awesome like last year! Mrs Plectrum will be providing tea/coffee and breakfast rolls for the early birds. Yeah, she's the best!

Weather permitting (please don't rain, please don't rain, please don't rain) we'll be selling the RSD stock alfresco. The shop will of course be open. This is Record Store Day. It's a celebration of the indie shop. There's 1,000's of titles available, new and used. We'll also have bargain bins because who doesn't like a vinyl bargain? Everyday is Record Store Day here (except Sunday and Monday, they're for listening). 

Heartfelt thanks for all your support over the last year. You've been fantastic. For those who've been messaging and emailing me (Matt) over the last few days, please introduce yourself so I can put a face to the name.

Viva vinyl. Viva music. Viva be excellent to each other.

Big love. Matt. xxx


FAQ…

When and where?

8.00am until 4.00pm on Saturday 16th April 2016. The shop is located at 387 Fulbridge Road, Peterborough, PE4 6SF. Remaining stock will be available in the shop during normal opening hours. Tuesday to Friday 10.00am to 4.00pm and Saturday 11.00am to 2.00pm. We’re closed on Sunday and Monday.

How can I get there?

The number 1 bus runs along Mountsteven Avenue every 10 minutes and is just a 5 minute walk to the shop. Customers are encouraged to walk or cycle to the shop wherever possible. Those on bikes are welcome to leave them in the back once we’re open.

Where can I park?

As you know, we’re located in a residential area with limited parking. If you do have to drive please be thoughtful when parking. We want to remain friends with our neighbours! So we respectfully request that you…
  • Do not park on the grass verges.
  • Don not block driveways or access for any properties.
  • Ensure that Emergency Services have full access along all roads.

What stock do we have and is there a price list?
 This will be published as soon all stock is confirmed (probably Friday). All shops taking part are free to price as they wish within a reasonable limit. We will be pricing in line with other shops.

Can I reserve a particular item?

No. All records are sold on a first come first served basis. Although many of you have requested we order in certain records they are not reserved!

Can I buy multiple copies?

No. One copy per title per customer only. Even if it's for your best mate who's currently hospitalised and is the band's biggest fan. You can of course buy as many different titles as you like.

I can’t make it on the day. What can I do?

Sorry to hear that. All stock left over will be available in the shop during normal hours. One week after RSD remaining stock may be made available online. The point of RSD is to get people into bricks and mortar record shops!

Is there a discreet way to purchase the Justin Bieber picture disc?

Marrs Plectrum Records is broad church. You will not be judged here. Be honest, bold and brave with your purchases. 







Tuesday to Friday 10am to 4pm Saturday 11am to 2pm.
