More money is now being spent on vinyl by music fans than compact discs for the first time since 1987, but you need to be quick to get your hands on some of the more limited records.
A reissue of the Sex Pistols’ ‘God Save The Queen’ 7’’ single recently sold out in a matter of minutes, while Record Store Day titles are frequently sold for large profits on internet auction sites shortly after being snapped up from record shops.
