Vinyl Week 2024 day five: best Kate Bush songs, we speak to vinyl pressing plants, and the first turntable we reviewed in 1976

Vinyl Week 2024 graphic.

Record Store Day is tomorrow – are you ready? To celebrate, we've been regaling you with all things vinyl and turntable-related this week – including tips on setting up your deck and storing your records, exclusive reviews of new products, what vinyl the younger generation is buying, the most popular record player on social media, and our favourite turntables of all time.

In preparation for tomorrow's big day, check out our top Record Store Day 2024 vinyl releases and our favourite songs from this year's RSD ambassador, the inimitable Kate Bush.

We'll keep you topped up on plenty of features this weekend too, so this Vinyl Week isn't over yet. Our editorial team will share the first vinyl records we ever bought with our own money, interview pressing plants and industry insiders on the future of vinyl and turntables, enjoy the weird and wonderful turntable designs we've come across and leave you with subscription services so you can continue to feed your vinyl obsession long after Record Store Day is over. As ever, we hope you enjoy reading while listening to your favourite music!

Our Vinyl Week 2024 runs from Monday 15th April to Sunday 21st April, and you can stay updated on all the latest features, advice and reviews by heading to our dedicated Vinyl Week hub, or simply bookmarking this page to check out the latest highlights and headlines below.
