Welcome to Saxosoul Records, Darlington’s go-to spot for vinyl records and music memorabilia, where every visit is a step into music history. We’re a passionate, independent record shop dedicated to sharing the thrill of vinyl with enthusiasts from around the world. Our story began not as a business but as a hobby – a love for collecting records that simply couldn’t be contained!
In 2017, we opened our first small shop at Kearton’s Yard off Bondgate, to finally bring our extensive collection out of storage and share it with fellow music lovers. As word spread and our community of vinyl enthusiasts grew, we relocated to our current, larger home at 96 Bondgate in early 2019, allowing us to expand our collection and offer an even better experience for our customers.
At Saxosoul Records, we buy, sell, and exchange records across every genre, covering music from the 1950s to today’s latest releases. From rock and jazz to indie, hip-hop, and beyond, our shelves are brimming with carefully selected vinyl treasures waiting to be discovered. Alongside records, we offer music memorabilia that provides fans a chance to own a piece of music history – a perfect addition for dedicated collectors and gift-seekers alike.
We’re proud of the lively community that has grown around Saxosoul Records. With over 5000 followers on Facebook and regular visitors from across the UK and around the globe, we are more than a record shop – we’re a place for people who love music to connect, explore, and share stories. For us, every visitor brings something special, and we’re here to help you find the music you love, learn about vinyl, or simply have a chat about the artists who shaped our lives.
We invite you to visit us at Saxosoul Records, where you can spend time browsing through our extensive collection and find that perfect addition to your record shelf. Step in for the experience, stay for the music, and leave with a new favourite. We’re here to keep the joy of vinyl spinning!
