The global celebration of bricks 'n' mortar music emporiums will be turning the big 1-0 this spring, and are planning some big surprises to hit the milestone in style - to be announced in due course.

This year's list of releases isn't expected for some time yet, but expect the usual mixture of limited editions, re-releases, rarities, and deluxe packages. Last year's releases were revealed in March.

The vinyl format's resurgence has coincided with the popularity of Record Store Day, and it was recently announced that sales of vinyl are the highest they've been this century.
