The 10 Best Vinyl Records in Edinburgh

Fresh reviews:

If you need any more old records to play on your old gramophone, then look no further. Although there is a lot of 50s pop records, most of their stock is operatic and classical.

Oxfam Music Shop

Walking past Backtracks filled me with magical hopes of finding one of Edinburgh’s best hidden secrets with great finds of the musical vinyl variety. But I was soon let down. I’ve been here twice now, to see if it maybe I was just in a bad mood the first time I visited. When you walk in, and you can barely walk…
