Our Story
From one crate
to a digital vault.
VinylVault (vinylvault.shop) is an independent online record shop based in the UK, specialising in underground electronic, jazz, ambient and rare groove vinyl from independent labels. Founded by Jerome Wagner, VinylVault is built for serious collectors who care about curation over volume.
VinylVault was born from late-night crate digs in dusty basements, from watching the sunrise over stacks of new arrivals, and from an unshakeable belief that physical music isn't just alive—it's thriving.

The VinylVault Philosophy
Our Mission
A Curated Ear
Every record is hand-selected by our team of vinyl enthusiasts and DJs. We don't stock everything—we stock what matters.
The Goldmine Standard
Grading you can trust. Each record is inspected and graded to Goldmine standards before it leaves our vault.
The Vault Treatment
Climate-controlled storage, protective mailers, and white-glove handling. Your records arrive in the condition they deserve.
What Drives Us
More Than a Store
We're collectors who got tired of compromises. Tired of records arriving with split seams and ring wear. Tired of wading through endless reissues to find something worth spinning.
So we built the store we always wanted. One where every release is selected because it moved us. Where grading means something. Where your Tone Poet pressing gets the same care it would if it were heading to our own shelf.
Whether you're hunting for a Japanese City Pop gem, a pristine audiophile remaster, or that limited run from a label you've never heard of—we're here to help you find it.
A Note From the Founder
Every record has a story. Not just the one pressed into its grooves, but the one it creates when you drop the needle. The dinner party it soundtracks. The 3am moment of clarity. The gift that says everything words can't.
That's why we do this. Not to move units, but to move people.
