It is vinyl enthusiasts Christmas.
Saturday is Record Store Day, when independent record stores celebrate with in-store performances and limited-edition vinyl releases.
“We have been preparing for this for years,” Andrew Roach of Dine Alone Records told CityNews, “We have been printing … colours that are only available as (a) Dine Alone Records exclusive, so there are lots of hidden gems coming from our catalogue.”

Here is what they had to say.
