ABOUT US

On retiring as a DJ Chris, who runs the shop with his wife, wanted to continue sharing his collection and love of music with a new and wider audience.

Using his own collection as the basis for stocking the shop, Chris has continued to buy in records since Barnham Vintage Vinyl opened in June 2018.

When the shop first opened a wider range of genres was covered. Whilst many genres are still covered originating from 1950s to 1990s the range has been reduced to address what is saleable to customers, and has been extended to include CDs up to the 2020s.

Stock remains ever changing as pre-loved vinyl is both sold and bought in, and organisation is frequently reviewed to aid easy access.

Having survived Covid closures a firm decision was made not to sell on line or by post as it is believed that buying records is a browsing experience which can trigger memories and provide opportunities to re-discover forgotten albums, artists, and bands. It is encouraging to see an increasing number of younger generations embracing the quality and the sound of vinyl.

Barnham Vintage Vinyl is pleased to donate to local community events and
support Angel Radio – enjoyed around the world on FM, on line and DAB.
