A new series, rolling out over the next month, will take a close look at some of the UK's finest independent record shops.

'Behind The Counter' is a 12-part series which is being released to coincide with this summer's Record Store Day drops, on June 12th and July 17th. 

The series, presented by Classic Album Sundays, Record Store Day and audio brand Bowers & Wilkins, looks at record shops across the UK, from Flashback Records in London to Dundee's Le Freak Records.
