Description: We are a UK-based online mail order record shop, and also a bricks-and-mortar high street shop in the centre of Huddersfield. We specialise in rare, deleted and promo items. We have an extensive stock of 7″ singles (45s), LPs, 12″ singles, CDs, videos, posters, limited editions, picture discs, imports, t-shirts and memorabilia.
Established: 1986
Specialism: Vinyl – largest collection in the UK
Sell: Most types of music from the 1960s to modern.
Disabled access: The shop is on two floors with the top floor having easy wheelchair access, but there is no real access to the basement as there are 2 sets of steps. However, if there is anything we can help with such as bringing items up to the top floor, we will gladly do so.
In-store gigs: We put on lots of in-store performances – over 40 bands have played in the last year. A new stage has been set up at the shop to promote original music and we’re currently looking for artists and bands to perform. If you are interested, you can contact us at www.vinyltap.co.uk/contact-us
Promoting new music: Vinyl Tap Records sponsor www.tapintomusic.co.uk – a website devoted to promoting up-and-coming artists and bands. You can discover new music, find upcoming gigs and vote for your favourite artists.
