Why Our Vinyl Is More Than a Record – It’s an Experience
1. Original Pressings & Rare Finds
- Motown Tamla classics – Original 7‑inch singles like “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” (Marvin Gaye) or “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” (Diana Ross) still carry the label’s iconic UK black‑and‑silver logo.
- Stax Records & deep‑soul gems – Hunt for the first‑press “Green Onions” (Booker T. & the MG’s) on Stax or “My Baby Just Cares For Me” (Nina Simone) in pristine VG+ condition.
- Northern Soul 7‑inch singles – The coveted “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” (Frank Wilson) and other white‑label promos that DJs still spin in the UK’s underground clubs.
2. Quality You Can Trust
Every record arrives after a meticulous inspection by our in‑house audio engineers. We grade each disc using the industry‑standard scale:
- Mint (M) – Flawless, just like it left the plant.
- Near Mint (NM) – No surface noise, sleeve immaculate.
- Very Good Plus (VG+) – Light wear only on the outer edge, fully playable.
- Very Good (VG) – Minor surface scuffs, still excellent sound.
When we list an item as VG+, you can be confident the needle will glide over a clean, warm groove that captures every subtle nuance of a horn section or vocal riff.
3. Formats for Every Ritual
- 12‑inch LPs – Perfect for 180‑gram audiophile sessions. Think Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life” on heavyweight vinyl that delivers deep, resonant bass or Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black” deluxe edition.
- 45 RPM singles – Ideal for DJs craving the crackle‑kissed punch of a Deep Funk 45 like “Soulful Strut” (Young‑Holt Unlimited).
- Picture‑sleeve 45s – Collectors love the visual flair of releases like Jackie Wilson's Reet Petite reissue.
- Colored & Limited‑Edition vinyl – From purple “Purple Rain” pressings to splatter‑effect copies of modern Neo‑Soul, these limited runs turn any turntable into a gallery.
Journey Through the Sub‑Genres
Motown Magic
Feel the polished pop‑soul that placed The Supremes and Marvin Gaye on every radio. Our Motown original pressings include first‑press “What’s Going On” LP, 7‑inch sginles and the Motown chart‑busters collections that still command good prices on the used vinyl market.
Stax & Southern Soul
The raw, church‑rooted grit of Stax lives in records like “Soulful Christmas” (James Brown) and “Shaft” (Isaac Hayes). Many of these LPs are first‑press, 1st‑run copies, graded VG+ or better — true collector’s items.
Northern Soul & Rare 70s
The UK’s Northern Soul scene turned obscure American 45s into gold. Hunt for “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” (The Supremes) 45‑RPM pressings that still spin at epic 120‑bpm dance floors. Our Northern Soul vinyl section is a treasure trove of white‑label promos and picture‑sleeve gems.
Funk, Boogie & Disco‑Infused Soul
From Funkadelic’s “Maggot Brain” to “Outstanding” (The Gap Band), our LPs, 12‑inch disco mixes and deep funk 45s bring the low‑end thump that modern producers love to sample. Look for “I Am” (Earth, Wind & Fire) on 180‑gram black vinyl, graded NM.
Neo‑Soul & Modern Classics
The torch has been passed to a new generation. Discover Erykah Badu’s “Baduizm”, D’Angelo’s “Voodoo”, and Lauryn Hill’s “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” — often found as original pressings or high‑quality reissues with luxury packaging. These modern releases sit alongside the classics, proving the genre’s timeless relevance.
