RECORD STORE DAY UK LETS FANS BECOME ALBUM COVER STARS!

April 11, 2023

Ever wondered how your Record Store Day release would look? Well wonder no more!


Thanks to a collaboration with the team at Filmily, we’re excited to give you the chance to celebrate your local independent record store and become the cover star of your very own album cover.


Whether you’re at home, on the commute or digging in the crates of your favourite record store it’s never been easier to give your favourite indie shop a shoutout – all you have to do is FOLLOW THIS LINK, search for your local shop, and strike a pose in three… two… one… nailed it!



The result sees you seamlessly put on the cover of your own unique sleeve complete with your name in lights and a shout out to your local independent record store.

Keep an eye out for posters in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Brighton, Bristol and Liverpool featuring a QR code to take you straight to the cover shoot, too.


But the fun doesn’t stop once you’ve realised your potential as the new face of music. If you share your cover, using the hashtags #recordstoreday or #RSD23 on social media, you’ll not only be putting your favourite shop on the map – you’ll also be in with a chance of winning a pair of Bowers & Wilkins px7 headphones.


We’re really proud to give music fans and shops the chance to celebrate together ahead of Record Store Day and spread the word far and wide before the day itself on April 22nd, and can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with!

ALBUM OF THE MONTH: SAM FENDER - PEOPLE WATCHING DELUXE

December 1, 2025
2025 has been a huge year for Sam Fender: selling out London Stadium and three St James’ Park gigs in Newcastle, winning the Mercury Music Prize in his hometown, and releasing the fastest-selling British album of the year. On top of that, he was named Record Store Day 2025 ambassador, cementing his status as one of the UK’s most celebrated artists. Now, People Watching returns in a deluxe 2LP edition with eight new tracks, including “Rein Me In” with Olivia Dean and the new single “Talk to You” featuring Elton John. These fresh tracks are the perfect excuse to revisit the album and soak up the stories and songs that made it a standout this year. The new edition features more stunning imagery from the late Tish Murtha’s archive: a figure on a snow-covered bench, overlooking terraced housing and a factory. Iconic, poignant, and deeply tied to the Northern landscapes that inspire Sam’s music. Stick it on your Christmas list, buy it for a friend, and head to your local indie record shop when People Watching Deluxe drops on 5th December. Flip through the sleeve, spin the new tracks, and relive the album all over again. 2025 has been Sam’s year - cheers to him, and to all the independent record shops that have made it one to remember!
