Where to purchase vinyl records online

We considered the entire shopping experience for all the options below, including the price and range of records available, how easy it was to navigate the website, delivery and customer service. We particularly liked the cheap vinyl section which includes over a thousand cut-price records including ones from Rolling Stones, Beck and Miles Davis.

Shop Normanrecords. There are plenty of exclusive offers such as coloured vinyl, limited-edition releases and reissues of classic albums. The store launches many of these during its own annual Vinyl Week, held every August.

Choose one of several themes including West Coast hip hop, home cinema or Glastonbury pilgrimage and a chic box will turn up containing three albums — a bestseller, a household name and a hidden gem. Albums tend towards the mainstream so might not suit someone who already has a large record collection, although the company also offers a build-your-own-box service so you can handpick exactly what goes in. Every box comes with two art cards depicting significant moments in music and exclusive sleeve notes sharing the stories behind important albums or artists.

Shop Vinylbox. Its online store specialises in rare, hard-to-find and eclectic records, tracked down by a team including respected DJs Jason Wynters and Adam Shelton.

Yet the Flatbush shop endures, housing a wide selection of vintage dancehall, dub, funk, jazz, and hip-hop vinyl. Lunchbox Records Charlotte, North Carolina. Lunchbox was my first real exposure to tangible music as a teenager, a place where I learned to prize vinyl years before putting together my own unwieldy collection.

Originally purveyors of punk and metal the shop began as a label in , Lunchbox has expanded to include nearly 40 genres while maintaining a homey, unpretentious vibe, with a small stage tucked away in a corner and countless crates of vinyl to dig through.
