History

Vinyl Tap began operating in 1985, beginning as a burgeoning market stall before progressing to a shop in Halifax, then Leeds, before moving to online only. In 2011, we opened our current high-street shop in our home town of Huddersfield, located across from the railway station. Over the decades we have also attended many record fairs all over the world.

Our Huddersfield Shop

The high-street shop has two floors; the main floor has the latest releases, as well as new and second-hand vinyl and CDs. The basement floor houses new and used vinyl ranging from 50p to £15 - including a lot of clearance LPs, 12" vinyl and CDs from 50p to £2 - many of which aren't listed on our website.

You can also order items on our website for collection in store. We are constantly adding both new and used releases to the website so it's always worth a gander at what has been added before heading in, as not everything on the website is available to browse in the shop.
