Record stores in Singapore

Vinyl hunting in Singapore, Singapore? There are 21 record shops mapped here. That's 21 record shops mapped around Singapore. 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.

This guide covers every record store we could verify in and around Singapore (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Jongges Music Studio and Music Story, plus Richard Vinyl Record Corner. If a record shop's missing from Singapore's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Record digging tips for Singapore

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

• Visit on restock days at Jongges Music Studio. Shops process collections on rhythms. Ask when new used stock hits the floor and time your visits.
• Ask about the return policy at Music Story. Most used vinyl is sold as-is. Know the policy before the stylus hits a skip at home.
• Inspect the seams. Split seams and ring wear tell you how a record lived. Light wear is fine; trashed sleeves drag the value.
• Bring cash for the small shops. Some independents prefer it, and a cash offer on a stack can occasionally move the price.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Singapore — 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 Singapore can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 21 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 21 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.
