A host of special releases dominate this week’s UK Record Store Chart after Record Store Day on April 18th.
The reissue of the Manic Street Preachers‘ ‘The Holy Bible‘ on its 20th anniversary leads the way, followed by similar re-releases on the part of the Sex Pistols, the Happy Mondays, David Bowie, The Doors and plenty others.
The newly launched UK Vinyl Chart unsurprisingly is almost identical to the Record Store Chart, with only Eels‘ ‘Royal Albert Hall‘ marking any real difference between the two’s Top 10.
