RSD LIST

This is a quick note to let you know that the RSD 2025 list was announced at 6pm (Feb. 6th) on www.recordstoreday.co.uk .

As you know we are again participating and over the coming weeks will supply all the information you need to know about the day in Mold. Ordering in RSD titles starts here so we will be working our way through the lists to see what we need here at VOD. We will do our very best to get an extensive range of titles but as always they will all be very limited and sold on the day on a 'first come first served' basis as per official RSD rules.

RSD AMBASSADOR

Sam Fender has been named this year’s Record Store Day Ambassador.Sam is set to champion the vibrant and unique culture of UK record shops and their vital role in local communities.Joining the ranks of iconic past ambassadors including Kate Bush, Taylor Swift, the 1975, Noel Gallagher and Elton John, Sam is ready to share his love of vinyl and record shop culture to the 2025 event.

Says Sam “It’s a complete honour to be asked to be the Ambassador for Record Store Day 2025. The importance of indie stores cannot be understated. Without them, we lose physical spaces for music fans to discover both their favourite new artists and to forge friendships with like-minded people".

Alan Jordan, the owner of Reflex Records in Newcastle, said “We’re absolutely buzzing to have Sam Fender as this year’s ambassador for Record Store Day. Sam’s a local legend, and the way he’s championed the Northeast and stayed true to his roots is exactly what independent record stores are all about – community, authenticity, and passion for music. Not only that, but he’s a real vinyl fan too! It’s great to see an artist who grew up down the road bring a spotlight on what we do. From buying Springsteen’s ‘Born to Run’ from our shop – to seeing him on the world’s stage – there couldn’t be a better artist to fly the flag for indie record shops!”

Much more on RSD soon...
