Looking forward to seeing @suede tonight in Liverpool. Their album launch show last year showed a band on the top of their game. ‘Antidepressants’ was one of the great albums of 2025. We have copies in stock, we also have copies of the classic ‘Dog Man Star’. 10% off with our launch offer.

Back in the days when the music industry had taping your own records to worry about. Fast forward to the days of streaming and downloads #hometapingiskillingmusic

Cleaning records for our next Record Fair on Sunday. I forgot I had this, The Style Council's Café Bleu. A deluxe reissue was due out last Friday, but it was pulled, not before some arrived at record sellers. The record label made a mistake with the tracklisting. The release is delayed until May.

Packaging up our first orders, ready to be dropped off at the post office in the morning. Thanks for the orders, follows, and words of encouragement. The launch offer lasts until the end of February. There’s 10% of all orders. A free bag of sunflower seeds too. New stock will be added soon.

Launch day. The Sunflower Records website is now live. We have several items uploaded to the website; more will be added in the coming days. We have a 10% launch off on all items running until the end of February. #sunflowerrecords #launchday #cominguplikeaflower

We’re launching our website on Friday, the classic albums section is coming together nicely. Some great albums available to buy when we’re open for business. #sunflowerrecords #classicalbums #iloveasunflower #comingsoon

We've been a bit quiet of late, tinkering away, getting the website sorted (and chasing after two adorable Labrador puppies). We are finally ready to launch our website next Friday, 30th January 2026. By way of a preview, here's how it's looking so far.

We’ve had a couple of additions to the team over Christmas. They are taking a leisurely approach to it all. Say hello to Woody and Sonny. #labradors #puppy #doglovers #vinyl

Our Albums of the Year 2025: More, Twilight Override, Public Works & Utilities, Loner, Never Enough, Getting Killed, Weirdo, Now Would Be A Good Time, Service Station at the end of the World, EURO-COUNTRY, Paul Weller Presents That Sweet Soul Music. Happy New Year to all our followers.

After our launch in November we’re looking forward to getting going fully in 2026. Watch this space. In the meantime, to all our followers we hope that you have a Merry Christmas and New Year. #happychristmas #itsclichedtobecynicalatchristmas #newyear

A new release and something of a lost classic. Joanna’s never-been-released album sat in a Manchester apartment loft for 35 years and has finally been released. ‘Hey Flower’ was recorded at Strawberry & Pentagon Studios. There is much to like about the album. It evokes the Madchester vibe so well.

New releases from Nick Heyward, on CD, The Epic and Creation Years (1993-1998). On vinyl for the first time, Tangled, The Apple Bed and From Monday to Sunday. #nickheyward #haircut100 #tangled #theapplebed #frommondaytosunday #theepicandcreationyears #aharddaysnick youtube.com/shorts/evoyE...

To My Dear Friend... The latest Substack Post is available now bit.ly/4ilucCw #sunflowerrecords #recordfairs #vinyl #hummingbirdguru #larklane

It’s that time of year again. Apple Corps have raided the vaults for their (now) annual trawl through the archives to unearth treasures from The Beatles’ back catalogue. The Beatles Anthology has been updated, remastered and extended to a fourth disc, and it was released today.

We really enjoyed our first record fair yesterday at Lark Lane. It was good to meet fellow sellers, enthusiasts, punters, and friends that came out to give us support. We look forward to coming back for the next one in February. #sunflowerrecords #vinyl #larklane #larklanerecordfair

The last day of the countdown to tomorrow’s record fair. The final album on the list and the soundtrack for the day is this 2025 release from The Last Dinner Party, From the Pyre. If you like your pop anthemic. This is the album for you.

Only two days to go with our countdown, today’s choice fits our theme perfectly. I could have chosen any one of the three eponymous Macca albums. McCartney II is a fantastic album. McCartney in the 80s was a mixed bag, but this and Flowers in the Dirt are amongst his finest works.

We have three days to go until our first record fair at Lark Lane. The daisy age and sunflowers make a perfect combination for our countdown on this autumnal morning. De La Soul’s 1989 classic 3 Feet High and Rising is the choice today. Three certainly is the magic number.

With four days to go until our first record fair, today’s album of choice is Led Zeppelin’s IV. An uninspiring title for a great collection of songs. #sunflowerrecords #iloveasunflower #comingsoon #ledzeppelin #IV

Day five of our countdown is the Beastie Boys’ To the 5 Boroughs. The band’s sixth album was released in 2004.

Day six of our countdown is a progressive Moog masterpiece from Rick Wakeman, The Six Wives of Henry III. It has been tested and cleaned up, ready for sale next Sunday. #sunflowerrecords #iloveasunflower #comingsoon #launch #recordfair #rickwakeman #thesixwivesofhenryIII

This time next week, we’ll be setting up for our first record fair. Another flavour of what we’ll have for sale that day is this classic soundtrack from The Magnificent Seven. I’m sure the film can be seen on some channel around the world today. A perfect Sunday afternoon movie.

Day 8 of the countdown, and it's a great Liverpool band, and one that fits in with our theme. This is a ‘well-loved’ copy that I picked up from a charity shop some years back. I wish all finds would unearth a great collection of songs like this one. I've another of their records for sale.

With nine days to go to our first record fair in Lark Lane, Liverpool. We’re counting down to that date—the pictured album title links to the theme of nine. This is from my personal collection, but we do have copies of other George Harrison albums for sale.

With ten days to go to our first record fair in Lark Lane, Liverpool. In the best traditions of Top of the Pops, we’re counting down to that date. The pictured album title links to the theme of ten. We’ll have a copy to sell at the record fair.

Today sees the launch of Sunflower Records. This is something that has been long in the planning. For more information, check out our Substack here about how we got started and what we have planned for the future. bit.ly/47BGG3Y #sunflowerrecords #iloveasunflower #coming soon
