Vinyl UndergroundRecords

Vinyl Underground Records trades from a unit inside the Victorian Arcade in Barnsley town centre, a covered run of small independent shops built in the nineteenth century. The company has been trading since 2014, dealing in both new and secondhand vinyl across genres, along with the general browsing culture that comes with a proper record shop rather than a stall of odds and ends. It sits among a handful of independent record shops still trading in South Yorkshire's market towns, most of them run on a similarly small scale out of arcades and market halls rather than high street units. The shop keeps in touch with customers mainly through social media rather than a formal website, in keeping with its low-key, collector-facing character. For anyone hunting second-hand pressings, it is worth a detour into the Arcade.
