So, here it is our top best selling vinyl album for 2018.
KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD-POLYGONWANALAND
A great album which benefitted from different pressings- standard black vinyl, coloured vinyl,picture disc,alternative artwork,deluxe editions.
This for us was definately the Year of King Gizzard backed up by recent additional reissues of their early albums.
