1. Record Collector, 233-235 Fulwood Road

Record Collector in Broomhill is by far one of Sheffield best-loved record stores and upon visiting it is understandable why. Record Collector has an eclectic mix of CDs and vinyl and it is split over two neighbouring shops, stocking both old and new releases alike.

2. Rare & Racy, 164-166 Devonshire Street

First and foremost, Rare & Racy on Devonshire Street is a second-hand bookshop but hidden within this treasure trove is a room dedicated to music, offering CDs and vinyl. If you’re a fan of Blues and Jazz music then Rare & Racy is well worth a visit.

3. Vinyl Demand, 190 Rockingham Street

The tiny interior of Vinyl Demand is highly deceptive and a well seasoned record lover could easily spend hours flicking through the boxes in this store. With a wonderful range of records to suit all tastes and low prices to match student pockets, Vinyl Demand is the arguably the best in Sheffield.

4. LP Record Store, 137a Arundel Street

Situated on Arundel Street, LP Record Store stocks both 7” and 12” vinyl in an extensive range of different genres. For those willing to spend a little more, the walls of the shop are lined with vinyl rarities. However, it is also great for cheap CDs.
