Special releases for Record Store Day 2016 are all over this week’s UK Record Store Chart.
They’re led by David Bowie‘s ‘The Man Who Sold The World‘; one of three exclusive Bowie releases for Record Store Day and featuring rare German album artwork. It’s at number one ahead of your more common or garden new LP from PJ Harvey, ‘The Hope Six Demolition Project‘.
