Dr Vinyl

Dr Vinyl trades from Unit 38 inside Tooting Market on Tooting High Street, a single record shop that has operated in the area for more than three decades. The stock runs from the 1950s through the 1990s, with staff members Darren and Ali cataloguing new arrivals daily across genres including soul, reggae, jazz and pop. Roughly twenty thousand records are kept in the shop's basement stockroom, rotated through the racks upstairs as space allows, so regulars return to check what has surfaced. Beyond straightforward buying and selling, the shop repairs and cleans damaged vinyl for customers who bring in warped or dusty records from home collections. The market stall format keeps overheads low, letting the shop hold prices below those charged by dedicated high street chains nearby.
