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.

The shop is easily missed, as it’s tucked away on the second floor of a shophouse along North Bridge Road – beside a 7-Eleven. But Curated Records still attracts a dedicated following thanks to its eclectic selection.

One of the oldest surviving vinyl record stores in Singapore, Roxy Records & Trading has been in business since 1962. Unsurprisingly, their ever-growing collection is a veritable catalog of music history featuring 70s rock and 80s hair metal essentials, as well as less common genres like Chinese opera.

Even if your taste in music is incredibly “underground” and you can’t find what you’re looking for here, the store will go the extra mile and order it in for you, no matter how rare it might be.

These days, you’ll find that even new albums get released on vinyl. Hidden inside Burlington Square, Hear Records regularly orders and brings in new vinyl records, such as The Life of a Showgirl album by Taylor Swift. They also stock a selection of turntables such as Music Hall turntables & electronics and Art Vinyl if you’re looking to upgrade your turntable set.

Located along Haji Lane, Musicology Records is one of the newer vinyl record stores in Singapore that brings analog music culture to a younger generation.

They also have a Carousell page where you can reserve specific vinyl records that they have posted, in case they sell out in-store.

They’re known for their solid selection of hip-hop, funk, and soul vinyl records. Plus, on some weekends, you might even find DJs spinning vinyl records outside the store.

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.

Many customers also noted that while the pre-owned vinyl records could be decades old, they were all cleaned and kept in very good condition – with some looking near mint. The vinyl records there aren’t cheap, but definitely worth every cent.

If you’re a fan of punk, post-hardcore, screamo, metal, or any other alternative genres, you’ll probably find something you’ll like at Surface Noise. While they carry vinyl records from international artists, they also bring in many regional and local artists as well.

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.

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. While you can find reviews online, you can’t actually try the products – here, you can try the turntable models they carry.
If you are unsure of where to start, the staff is knowledgeable and helpful, without pressuring you to purchase anything.
Though primarily a music shop, Swee Lee Clark Quay also carries vinyl records and has a listening station. From their over 500 titles, you can find music from pop icons such as SZA to rock bands such as Oasis. You can also choose to pick up a vinyl record and give it a listen at $10/hour before deciding to purchase it.

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.
