dinked editions!

DINKED is a collective of independent record shops who curate special, limited vinyl editions of album releases - exclusive packages that celebrate albums we love.

We negotiate exclusive colourways / additional artwork / signed / numbered / extra audio / bonus content / alternative sleeves.

We aim for these to be real fan editions so they tend to sell out fast & many have already become collectors’ items.

These editions are only avilable from shops in the Dinked alliance. They are all limited runs. They are all from artists & labels we are keen to support. They are intended to help nuruture existing fanbases but more importantly, to hopefully find new fans. To help spread the word on artists & albums we love. 
 

Dinked is a collective of 25 like-minded, independent record shops spanning the length & breadth of the United Kindom.

As independent record shops, we all operate entirely individually. This has many advantages in that we all offer a completely different experience, range of stock, atmosphere & set of knowledge. We’re not governed by politics & don’t answer to investors, so we can remain true & authentic.

However, with the number of challenges that trading on the high street presents us with these days & with increasing online competition, we wanted to establish something that allows us to work together more as a united front - celebrating our strengths & differences, whilst connecting & bonding us for a common cause. With that in mind, we established DINKED in september 2018.

We now work with artists & labels that we love to deliver exclusive editions of albums that we really want to support & promote. Whether that be a brand-new artist or an established one, it’s all about helping to spread the word on music that we feel deserves a wider audience.

We have also recently introduced a Dinked Archive series in order to showcase catalogue releases through carefully curated, limited edition represses.
