Other notable vinyl releases include a triple live album of Iggy Pop’s ‘Post Pop Depression’ show from Royal Albert Hall, The Cure’s greatest hits and acoustic hits on deluxe vinyl and even Toto’s ‘Africa’ on vinyl in the shape of the continent.

Unfortunately, there are no participating stores in Blackpool, so you’ll have to travel to Action Records, Preston, if you want to have a chance at getting your hands on an exclusive.
