Official Vinyl Records

Vinyl Records are at the heart of what we do, from brand new releases to classic pressings that never lose their pull. You’ll find albums across rock, indie, electronic, punk, metal, hip-hop and beyond, alongside reissues, limited editions and coloured vinyl where available. Whether you’re crate-digging for something familiar or discovering a record for the first time, everything here is chosen for people who actually listen, not just collect. Alongside vinyl, our store brings together official band merchandise and music culture essentials in one place. That means band t-shirts, hoodies, posters, accessories and select collectibles, all sitting naturally alongside the records they belong with. It’s a space built for music fans — the kind who care about artwork, sound, and the stories behind it — whether you’re buying your next favourite record or something to wear, hang, or keep that connects you to the music you love.

Limited

— Limited editions are pressed in restricted quantities, making them more exclusive and often more desirable to collectors. Whether it’s a special colour variant, alternate artwork, numbered sleeve, or short production run, these releases are produced for a defined period or capped total. Choose a limited pressing if you’re looking for something rarer than a standard release. Once they’re gone, they’re usually gone — making them ideal for collectors who appreciate scarcity, unique presentation, and the potential long-term value of a hard-to-find edition..

Numbered

— Numbered editions feature individual serial numbers printed on the sleeve or packaging, confirming their place within a limited production run. This detail adds an extra layer of exclusivity, showing exactly where your copy sits in the total quantity pressed. Choose a numbered release if you value rarity and documented collectability. With each copy uniquely identified, these editions offer a tangible sense of scarcity and appeal for dedicated collectors..
