An iconic record shop in Preston has been preparing for months to celebrate Record Store Day.

On the annual day, it's a chance for independent record stores to feature exclusive vinyl records.

More than 270 locations across the UK are involved in taking part.

Gordon Gibson is the owner Action Records where he's been sharing his passion for music since 1981.

He said: "It's a once a year thing, but feel more like a two to three month event for us.

"From us starting to buy stuff and then all the way through to selling it at the end, it takes weeks and weeks of work. Not just for us but for the record companies as well.

"I feel really proud, that people still enjoy the experience of coming in a record shop."
