The store carries a large selection of South African artists on vinyl, and we’re constantly working to expand our stock offering of South African music. If you are looking for South African music and not sure where to start, a visit to our store is an absolute must. Mr Vinyl carries an extensive collection of Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Dance Music, Deep House and many genres in between. We work closely with distributors and record labels to constantly bring in new stock.

Featured prominently is a black Onkyo stereo receiver with a digital display, volume knob, and buttons on the front panel. Next to the receiver are a pair of white, modern-style speakers with black front covers and a white turntable. Behind the equipment, a framed black-and-white photograph is partially visible, showing a vintage car and people standing next to it.

Mr Vinyl is owned by Bret Dugmore and began in 2013 as an online-only vinyl record store. After operating in the eCommerce space and at vinyl faires, we had enough momentum to go from “clicks to bricks” and our store at 44 Stanley was opened in 2017. We are also involved in pressing South African music to vinyl, with our Sister Company – SAMP Records.

Mr Vinyl ships out hundreds of parcels to customers every month, both domestically and worldwide, and being an online store for over 10 years has allowed us the opportunity to build strong logistics relationships, so that we can offer safe and secure shipping. We make use of our own custom-made boxes to ensure safe shipping and we take packing very seriously.
