With Record Store Day just around the corner we’ve asked some of our favourite UK record shops to pick their top 5 special releases planned for the event. Every day this week we’ll cover a different shop as they offer their expert advice on which of the 400+ releases you should get your hands on when the doors open early on Saturday morning.

It’s Wednesday and we’re up in Leeds today with the oh-so aptly named Jumbo Records. Since it opened in 1971 Jumbo has outgrown two previous locations, from humble beginnings on the balcony of the Queens Arcade to today’s modern space in the St. John’s Centre. Surfing the punk rock wave of the 70’s and 80’s and keeping its head above water when the going wasn’t so good, Jumbo has been trading for over 30 years, selling a broad range of genres on CD and vinyl, of which these are their top 5 Record Store Day releases…

Calexico
Spiritoso
[City Slang]

We’re very excited to hear one of our top bands live in Germany with an orchestra! One of the pioneers of desert Americana in the grand setting they deserve.
