Classic Records

 

Superb classical vinyl records from the 1950s-70s

SXL2020 sleeve Classic Records provides probably the finest source of classical vinyl LPs in the world.  If your passion is violin, piano, cello, string quartet, opera, orchestral, Decca SXL, Decca LXT, Columbia SAX, Columbia 33CX, EMI ASD, Deutsche Grammophon, Mercury, Audiophile (TAS list), etc, you'll find it here.  There are also many superb records in other genres including rock, pop, jazz, easy listening, soundtracks, blues, country, folk, etc.  For a complete list of almost 6400 records see our July 2008 Catalogue.  For the latest many superb new additions, click here.  To visit our sister site with full shopping cart and secure credit card payment facility go to www.classicalvinylrecords.com  At any particular time you will find records on the Classic Records site that are not listed on the Classical Vinyl Records site and similarly you can find records listed there that are not listed here, so it's always worth checking both!

You can also use our fully searchable Online Database and shopping cart system.  This will enable you to find the records you want more easily, and order them more efficiently.  Note, no money is taken from you when you place your order.
