It’s been 25 years since vinyl sales have been as high as they are right now. Throwback Thursday isn’t just a weekly thing anymore, with millions of people choosing old school records over digital plays.
Perhaps you’re one of them? Turntables and vinyl made hugely popular Christmas presents this year and the nation’s book cases are filling up with sleeves once again.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just starting out, here are a few discs to take for a spin.
