Eager music fans plundered the shelves at the Music Exchange in Hockley as they sought the perfect piece of music for Record Store Day.
Nearly 500 rare records – including Jake Bugg, the Sex Pistols, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie – were pressed especially for the day which took place on Saturday.
Claire Maguire, 26, of Musters Road, West Bridgford, spent around an hour flicking through the sleeves before settling on a 12 inch record of Jake Bugg performing live in Seattle.
She said: "I think I love the browsing more than anything – there's something more real about vinyl compared to downloads online.
"Also, I'm a huge fan of artwork on music too so vinyl is good for that.
"I could easily have spent a fortune here, there's so much good stuff on the shelves."
Owner of the store Brian Mutton said: "I think it's the most fun day of the year – a lot of bands come and a lot families as well."
Meanwhile, Nottingham Contemporary played host to three bands to celebrate Record Store Day which was held on Saturday.
Cal Burns from Nottingham-based band Kagoule, performed alongside Ex-Easter Island Head and Henry Blacker.
Mr Burns said: "It's good to remind people the records still exist and record store day does that well.
"It lets artists get creative with vinyl, Liars are putting out a clear heavyweight vinyl with string inside which is really cool.
"Maybe they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for record store day. There's always great gigs on Record Store Day too.
"The guys at the Music Exchange are super lovely.
"What a perfect little shop. It has a great collection – I find it hard to walk in and not buy something – and it's for a good cause.
"It's done a lot for Nottingham and it's a magnet for awesome people."
