Bring 'em back to life.
Professional record cleaning for any era of vinyl. Dust, dirt, grime — gone. Every disc and cover checked for scratches and marks. If I wouldn't sell it myself, I won't put it on the shelf.

40 years a dealer.
A lifetime a collector.
I've been a dealer for over 40 years, and I've always taken pride in what I sell. I started with vintage toys back before the internet changed that world, then moved into collectibles, then into records about twenty-odd years ago. Moving into the vinyl business is what rediscovered my love of music for me.
A recycled item, in my opinion, is mostly better than new. Records just have a nicer sound — we listen in analogue, not digital. And music is the key to life. It lives in people's minds, tied to both the good and bad moments of their lives. I've been collecting since I was six years old, and I've never seen any reason to stop.
The Record Box has been open in George Yard since 2018. Before that I ran shops in Taunton and Newbury. Where I am now is the right premises at the right time, and the customers I get through the door are amazing. If you haven't been in — come up the alley and have a flick through.
