About Us
Welcome to Vinyl Castle: The Home of Vinyl
Vinyl Castle wasn't just built to sell records; it was built to protect what matters most about music. Established in 2018 by lifelong music obsessives and former record shop staff, our foundations are laid on a deep love for physical media and the culture that surrounds it.
We believe that a castle isn't just a fortress; it's a gathering place. Historically, castles were centers of community, protection, and fairness for the people they served. We have adopted that same ethos. In a digital world that often feels disconnected, we are building a sanctuary for music lovers - a place where the passion for vinyl is celebrated, shared, and protected.
Our Mission: Fairness and Empowerment
Our vision goes beyond being a retailer. We are on a mission to empower independent record shops across the UK and beyond. We know that local record stores are the beating heart of the music industry, and we are dedicated to supporting their growth and sustainability. By championing fairness in the industry, we ensure that the ecosystem of artists, shops, and listeners thrive together.
Building the UK's Biggest Vinyl Community - And Beyond
We started as a small group of fans on social media, sharing reviews and news. Today, we are growing into the largest vinyl community in the UK, and our reach extends far beyond our own borders. With around 1 million titles in our catalogue—spanning vinyl, CDs, and cassettes—we offer one of the world’s broadest selections for music lovers everywhere. No matter where you are, Vinyl Castle ships globally, making it easy for collectors and enthusiasts from all corners of the world to discover and enjoy their favourite records.
Whether you are a seasoned collector hunting for a rare press or a newcomer spinning your first LP, there is a place for you here. At Vinyl Castle, you are more than a customer; you are a citizen of a global community united by the groove.
Inspiring and Empowering Communities in a Changing Online World
We recognise that today’s digital landscape is often dominated by just a handful of giant platforms. Inspired by the spirit of Vinyl Castle, we are actively finding ways to empower other groups and businesses - helping them thrive, connect, and compete on their own terms. By sharing our knowledge, resources, and drive for fairness, we want to inspire others to build strong, independent communities just as we have.
We invite you to explore our unparalleled collection, knowing that every purchase supports a vision of music that is fair, inclusive, and enduring - not just in the UK, but around the world.
Join us inside the gates. Let's make history, one record at a time.
