National Album Day will spotlight debut releases for its 2022 edition.
Taking place October 15, the annual event will see a number of first releases reissued on vinyl for its latest theme.
BPI boss Geoff Taylor and ERA chief Kim Bayley say in a joint statement: “Artists love telling their stories through the artform of the album and fans love to listen, but in a world where there is more streaming of individual songs, we take the appeal of the album format for granted.
SAVE THE DATE: #NationalAlbumDay returns for a fifth year, celebrating debut albums on Saturday 15th October💜
