The Best Online Vinyl Record Shops for Diggers and Listeners

A modern online retailer built around making vinyl accessible to both new listeners and experienced collectors. Stock spans new releases, reissues, and genre staples across rock, jazz, hip-hop, and electronic. A practical first stop when you know what you are looking for and want a broad selection in one place.

Started in New York City in 1999 when independent record culture was still a physical-store game. Turntable Lab built a reputation on electronic, hip-hop, and independent music long before streaming made back-catalogs frictionless. Their online store carries the same editorial sensibility as their original brick-and-mortar.

Founded in London in 1976, Rough Trade helped define what an independent record shop could be: opinionated, genre-agnostic, and willing to stock records nobody else would touch. Their online store ships internationally and carries the same mix of new releases, reissues, and indie rarities that built the shop's reputation across five decades.

Vinyl Moon built a subscription model around curation rather than catalog. Each month, subscribers receive a themed compilation pressed on custom vinyl, featuring emerging artists unlikely to surface through algorithmic recommendations. The concept is discovery first, collection second, and it works.

Named after the Velvet Underground track and operating on Berwick Street since 1988, Sister Ray has been a London institution through every format shift in music retail. Their online shop carries new releases, pre-orders, and a well-chosen back-catalog with particular strength in post-punk, electronic, and leftfield pop.

Jack White opened Third Man Records in Nashville in 2009 as a label, a live venue, and a retail shop. Their online store carries releases from the Third Man label alongside exclusive pressings and curated selections. The label's commitment to analog recording and pressing is a rare counter-signal in an era built on digital masters.
