Tesco is now stocking vinyl at select stores in the UK

04 December 2015, 14:51 | Written by Laurence Day

From today (4 December), supermarket giants Tesco will be stocking 20 vinyl records across dozens of stores.

This move follows the success of their time stocking Iron Maiden's latest record back in September.

Speaking about the move, Tesco music buyer Michael Mulligan says:

“Our trial selling vinyl this summer was a real success with all our stock selling out and this really proved to us just how popular the vinyl album format is again with music fans.

"Vinyl is definitely coming back with demand growing stronger year by year and we think there will be a big demand in the UK this Christmas as music fans look for trendy gifting options.

“We have brought in vinyl albums for everyone – from new releases for established collectors to absolute classics for younger fans and for mums and dads who might have worn out their original copies the first time round.

“By also selling record decks we are helping customers who are looking to start their own vinyl album collection.”

The LPs will be available across 40 stores in the UK, with prices starting at £12.

The selection is primarily classic records and greatest hits collections, although George Ezra's Wanted On Voyage is in there.

Check out the selection below.
