Vinyl fans across the UK spent the night queuing outside record stores in a bid to get their hands on limited edition releases.
In the UK more than 200 independent record shops will sell special vinyl releases to eager fans and host artist performances.
Saturday marks the 11th annual Record Store Day with avid music fans and stores gearing up for what has turned into one of the industry's busiest days of the year.
Dozens of reports of queues outside shops were shared on social media ahead of the opening of stores who have been inundated with a string of special vinyl records.
Last night music fans were camped outside Love Music on Dundas Street in Glasgow at 9pm as the worker left the store.
40 people were then spotted queuing outside the shop this morning at 6.23am.

Glasgow will also have a chance to get involved in a whole host of live music events in the city including special DJs Stevie Watt and The Primevals’ Tom Rafferty.
Dean Owens will also be performing in Dow’s Bar on Dundas Street, along with Fallen Arches and The Valves.
Record Store Day launched in the UK in 2008, a year after it had premiered in the US.
On Friday it was revealed a reissue of Radiohead's album OK Computer had been the best-selling album in independent record shops since last year's Record Store Day.
The album celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017 and first topped the charts in the summer of 1997.
Some 82% of the album's sales in independent record shops over the last year were on vinyl.
The second biggest seller was the special edition of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, which achieved bumper sales in its 50th anniversary thanks partly to an enhanced anniversary release.
In third place was Ed Sheeran's Divide, which dominated the charts in 2017, followed by LCD Soundsystem's American Dream and Queens Of The Stone Age's Villains.
Independent record shops account for more than a quarter of the sales of 12-inch vinyl and more than half of the newly resurgent cassette market.
