The Story

Welcome to Red Bird Vinyl — your independent used record e-shop rooted in Axminster, the heart of the South West.

I was weaned on Classic Rock and bought my first record in 1974. I started trading in 2023 with a simple passion: keeping great music in circulation and connecting records with the people who'll truly love them. What began as a love of digging through crates has grown into a full-service record business serving collectors and casual listeners alike across the South West and beyond.

What I Do

I buy, sell, and clean vinyl records and CDs. Whether you're looking for a hidden gem or want to sell a collection you've built over the years, I'm here for it. I travel across the South West — including Exeter, Taunton, Dorchester, Poole, Bournemouth, Winchester and beyond — to buy collections large and small. Cash paid for quality records.

Grading You Can Trust

Every record we sell is graded using the industry-standard Goldmine Grading System. I take condition seriously — what you read in a listing is what you'll find in the sleeve. No surprises, no disappointments and there are no stock images, what you see is what you get. The grading policy is transparent and available to read in full on our Grading Policy page.

Record Cleaning Service

Dirty records? I offer a professional vinyl cleaning service to help restore your records to their best possible playback condition. Get in touch to find out more.

Get in Touch

i love talking records. Whether you have a collection to sell, a question about a listing, or just want to chat music — drop a message. I'm always happy to hear from fellow music lovers.
