The Wirral’s newest record shop, Dig Vinyl in West Kirby, is excited to once again announce its participation in Record Store Day UK on Saturday, April 12th, 2025. This marks the shop’s second year taking part, and after a hugely successful debut last year, the team is ready to go even bigger, bringing even more exclusive releases to the Wirral’s vinyl community.
Record Store Day, which began in 2007, celebrates and promotes the distinctive culture of independent record shops with special vinyl releases made exclusively for the event and stocked only by participating retailers on the day. Over the years, it has evolved into a global celebration of record shops, with thousands of stores taking part across the world, including over 260 in the UK. As the Wirral’s destination for new releases, classic reissues, and all things vinyl-related, Dig Vinyl is looking forward to once again welcoming collectors through its doors for this year’s event.
Dig Vinyl expanded to the Wirral in November 2023, opening its second shop on the bustling Banks Road, just a short walk from the station and a stone’s throw from the beach. This marked a major milestone in Dig Vinyl’s decade-long journey, which began with the opening of its Bold Street shop in Liverpool back in 2014. After years of growth, including three expansions and a big move within Bold Street, the team was thrilled for the chance to bring their love of vinyl to a new corner of Merseyside.
Since opening, the West Kirby shop has been embraced by the area’s vibrant independent retail scene, quickly becoming a go-to spot for both seasoned collectors and those just starting their vinyl journey. The shop carries the same diverse selection of genres, eras, and sounds as its Liverpool counterpart, with an ever-growing range of records spanning new releases, secondhand gems, and rare finds from the US, Europe, Japan, and beyond. With buyers available in-store on most opening days, they’ve also made it easier than ever for vinyl lovers on the Wirral to sell or trade their collections.
Dig Vinyl West Kirby will be open for Record Store Day at 10am on Saturday, April 12th, 2025. Customers are encouraged to drop into the shop with their RSD requests and fill out the Wishlist located at the counter by March 10th. All Record Store Day releases are exclusive to the event and sold in-store on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to plan accordingly, as items cannot be reserved or saved.
Although Dig Vinyl’s Bold Street shop will not be participating in the event, they will be marking the occasion with 10% off all secondhand stock at the city centre location.
