Selling Your Vinyl Records

What Vinyl Records Are We Looking to Buy?

Let’s face it — vinyl’s been around for a long time, and the record world is vast and ever-changing. So, what are we after? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but there are plenty of vinyl records we’re very keen to get our hands on… and a few we’d rather leave behind.

Fast Payment or Bonus Credit

We offer instant cash payments, or if you prefer store credit, we’ll boost the value by 20–30%. You can spend it right away or save it for later — your call!

Let’s Start with What We Don’t Buy:

Some records are just too common or too niche for our customers. Even in perfect condition, these artists typically don’t hold any resale value — so we usually don’t buy:

• Pop vocals (e.g. Bing Crosby, Barbra Streisand, Johnny Mathis, Tony Bennett)
  

• Easy listening (e.g. Mantovani, Ray Conniff, Percy Faith, 101 Strings)
  

• Reader’s Digest/Time-Life classical or opera box sets
  

• Broadway cast albums from the 60s (e.g. South Pacific, My Fair Lady, A Chorus Line)
  

• Soundtracks from the 60s (Sound of Music, West Side Story, Oklahoma, etc.)
  

• Big band & swing (e.g. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Count Basie)
  

• 70s–80s mainstream country (e.g. Kenny Rogers, Crystal Gayle)
  

• Opera and classical
  

• Comedy albums
  

• New age (e.g. Yanni, Kitaro, Windham Hill releases)
  

• Smooth/"wave" jazz (e.g. Kenny G, Spyro Gyra)
  

• 45s/7"s that were huge hits, if they don’t have a picture sleeve — unless they’re promos or ultra-rare
  

• 78s — except a few gems like pre-WWII blues or Elvis on Sun Records
  
  

Now for the Good Stuff — What We Do Want:

We're always on the lookout for vinyl that’s got that extra edge — especially:

• 60s to current rock/alternative LPs, especially psychedelic, progressive & obscure titles
  

• Vinyl released during the "vinyl is dead" era (mid-90s to mid-00s)
  

• 50s/60s jazz — bop, bebop, post-bop, and soul jazz
  

• Classic blues, R&B, soul & funk
  

• Picture sleeve 45s/7” singles/EPs
  

• Rare punk, alternative & new wave 7" & 12" singles
  

• Audiophile pressings (e.g. Mobile Fidelity, Nautilus)
  

• Private pressings, promotional releases & indie label releases
  

• Obscure folk, country, and vintage hip-hop
  

• Any LPs and 7” vinyl of blue-chip legends: Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Metallica, etc, etc — especially import pressings and rarities
  
  

Condition Matters

Even if your records are in-demand, they need to be in excellent condition — both the vinyl and the cover. The more common the title, the more important it is that it’s near-perfect to hold any value.
