Keen record collectors queued around the block in the Northern Quarter as they waited to get their hands on the latest Record Store Day releases.
Music fans have been flocking to Piccadilly Records, Vinyl Exchange, Vinyl Revival and Eastern Bloc Records in the city centre.
Meanwhile, the newly opened Wilderness Records have brought Record Store Day to the suburbs as they opened their new shop in Withington for the first time today.
In the city centre, the queues started to form on Friday afternoon as dedicated collectors set up camping chairs and sleeping bags in preparation for the big day.
Music lovers lined up outside Piccadilly Records on Oldham Street in order to get their hands on rare and exclusive vinyl releases.
The first pair of music fans arrived at the doors at 6.30am on Friday morning, more than 24 hours before the sales began.
By the time it reached 7am on Saturday there were queues around the block all the way from Oldham Street around to Church Street.
A variety of events are taking place at record shops across the city with DJs spinning and live music performances throughout the day.
