Vinyl hunting in Plymouth, England? There are 4 record shops mapped here. That's 4 record shops mapped around Plymouth. Every shop grades and prices differently, so the same record can be a bargain in one and a splurge in another — dig everywhere. The new-arrivals bin is always the first stop — that's where the good stuff lands before anyone else sees it.

Names you'll run into include Keep Audio Co and HMV, plus Really Good Records. If a record shop's missing from Plymouth's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Plymouth

A few things worth knowing before you work through Plymouth's record stores:

• Ask the staff what's new at Keep Audio Co. Shop staff know what's just come in and what's about to. One question can save an hour of digging.
• Sleeves matter for value at HMV. Original inner sleeves, inserts, posters — completeness counts. A bare record in a generic sleeve is worth less.
• Check for box sets. Box sets get broken up or sold whole; either way the per-record price is often excellent.
• Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Plymouth — 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 Plymouth can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 4 that's closed, or a great record store we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

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 4 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.
