Vinyl record stores in Singapore
With Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, we have a world of music quite literally at our fingertips. But for vinyl enthusiasts and aficionados of analog audio, there’s nothing more satisfying about the experience of buying an LP, slipping the shiny new record out of its sleeve, placing it on a turntable, and gently dropping the needle – a far more elaborate ritual than letting an algorithm choose songs for you.
There’s no logical reason to buy vinyl over music streaming – it’s a purely emotional experience. If you’re looking to get acquainted with the magic of analog music, here are vinyl record stores in Singapore for rare secondhand LPs or a brand new pressing of Taylor Swift’s latest album.

Like many other vinyl record stores in Singapore, RetroCrates brings in both new and pre-owned vinyls. However, their pre-owned vinyl section is where you can find gems. If you’re looking for US, European, or Japanese vinyl pressings, you’ll find them here.

If you’re looking for music slightly under the radar, but not too obscure, check out Bazarro Market. While they carry pop albums, they also have unique and diverse indie vinyl records from overseas and from our very own homegrown bands, such as Subsonic Eye and Sobs.
They also have a section titled “New Bargains” with good discounts on new vinyl records, and a section of CDs and cassette tapes if you’re into other types of physical media.

Get turnable accessories here

Aside from their countless vinyl records and music genres, Retrophonic Records is the place for you to get your first turntable. Buying in-store is a lot different than buying online.

If you are unsure of where to start, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful, without pressuring you to purchase anything.
14. Swee Lee
Vinyl record listening station from $10/hour

Vintage market with pre-owned vinyl records

While The Retro Factory isn’t an actual vinyl record store in Singapore, you can still find many records there. You might know it as the Katong weekend market, but they actually have a physical space in the atrium of Katong Square that’s open daily.
With many vendors and pre-owned vinyl records, you’ll probably only find 1 of each album. And if you dig long enough, you might find a rare LP or one for a steal.

Along Joo Chiat, you’ll find the cozy Cherry Lane Records. Though it might not be the biggest vinyl record store in Singapore, it has a good range of jazz and rock vinyl records with music from the 60s to 90s. There’s even a small section with film scores if you’re looking for them.
