Timed to coincide with Record Store Day on April 16th, acclaimed acoustic duo, The Daydream Club have today announced their limited edition single ‘The Record Shop’ is now available to pre-order.
The duo (Adam Pickering & Paula Walker) approached independent record stores in the UK asking them to stock the single and send a photo of their shop. The specially designed vinyl sleeve features photographs of 40 independent UK record shops.
Each copy of the limited-edition single will be numbered making it a hugely attractive collector’s item. The ‘Record Shop’ was written as a tribute to the golden years of vinyl and independent record stores. It reflects on the current state of the industry, noting the demise in value of the physical product in favour of digital technologies. This is highlighted in the song through the story of a fragile old man and his shop, with all of its wonderful quirks that his loyal customers have grown to love. “We didn’t know about Record Store Day when we wrote the track” explains Adam, “but the lyrics really seem to resonate with people, who like us, enjoy trawling through record shops and discovering musical gems.” The single is flanked by the equally beautiful, previously unreleased instrumental ‘The Musician.’
