In January, my wife turned 30, and without going too far into it, we both could really use an excuse to get away from it all.

Join our Community! There was no way to know back then that today these vinyl records would be collectibles. Fortunately, I kept most of my records from the late 60s and early 70s and now I have a wonderful way to do an inventory. Back in I lost vinyl albums to a flash flood that came through the townhouse. I have a little over that survived. I am trying to gradually replace them. Kudos to everyone here!!!

By Natalie Weiner. If you are a devoted vinyl collector, an obsessive music fan, or — as is often the case — both, Discogs is very nearly a lifestyle. But the Discogs users were different. Changes within the company are threatening to turn a bastion for vinyl fans, record stores, and anyone who cares about music into just another dysfunctional website — and dismantle a singular record of music history, even if just by pushing the sellers and users who have created that record away. A fastidiously detailed Wikipedia for music. Discogs is a fairly clunky, definitely old-fashioned website devoted to even older technology: a vestige of an earlier, more idyllic internet that has spent the last decade walking the record-needle-thin line between s algorithmically driven tech monolith and niche unprofitable obscurity. A big part of its ability to walk that line is the passion of its user base. And many entries, even for deep obscurities, are fastidious: album covers and liner notes are scanned for inclusion and album credits are fleshed out with hyperlinks that are almost more useful and thorough than the Wikipedia equivalent, plus reviews by devotees. There is even a lively forum where all of these details get litigated. It is an insular community in many ways. But it is also, and has always been, a money-making endeavor for both Discogs and the sellers who use it.

The pandemic had created something of a record sales bubble: people who were already vinyl aficionados were stuck at home with their record players, vinyl records discogs, stimulus checks, and nothing to spend them on besides survival and things you could do at home — like listen to music.

Between vinyl skyrocketing again in popularity more than they have since and brick-and-mortar stores having limited in-store hours due to the pandemic, there's been an increasing need for good places to buy vinyl online. Luckily, plenty of retailers have now made their storefronts digital, and we found all of the best places to buy vinyl online. Every vinyl enthusiast has a preference on where to shop for vinyl. Some like the tactile experience of spending hours in a store with other music enthusiasts, digging through the crates, and hoping to stumble upon a rare LP. Some like to skip buying their own vinyl and leave the hard work to a vinyl subscription box that picks and ships records to them each month. And others prefer the streamlined convenience of shopping online as it makes it easy to find the exact records we're looking for in a matter of minutes. Some of the places we've listed do have a brick-and-mortar shop along in addition to an online store.
