Record stores in Lincoln

Lincoln, Lincolnshire has 1 record stores on the map. Just the one mapped record shop in Lincoln — dig deep, and ask the staff what's new in the bins. Bring a want-list, but leave room for the find you didn't know you needed.

Record digging tips for Lincoln

How the regulars work Lincoln's bins:

• Hit the new-arrivals bin first at HMV. That's where fresh stock lands before anyone else sees it. The good stuff rarely survives the week.
• Go often, dig briefly. Short frequent visits beat rare expeditions. Fifteen minutes twice a week outperforms a monthly dig.
• Ask the staff what's new. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Ask about the return policy. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Lincoln — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new record store in Lincoln can take a while to appear. The 1 above are only as current as the community map. A record store that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list prices or stock — both change by the day. What we list is the where: real shops, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 1 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
