Where quality music and engaging lyrics collide.
Think of us as your local record store, just online. Our small business approach allows us to really focus on our products and customer service. We sell only brand new records and cds that we’ve sourced direct from artists, record labels, and music distribution channels. We take pride in getting music to our customers in excellent condition, from proper in-house storage, to shipping records in protective vinyl mailers to prevent damage. If you ever have a question, need assistance with an order, want a recommendation, or are looking for music we don’t have listed on the website, please reach out via phone, email or chat.
Collide Records, the beloved independent music shop, has put together a Father's Day collection that spans classic rock, jazz, Americana, and beyond. Whether your dad is a lifelong vinyl devotee or just starting to build a collection, there's something here for every music-loving father. Here are our top picks.
Vinyl records are not fragile — but they are unforgiving. Dust ground into a groove by a stylus, a sleeve that creates static, or a record stored at the wrong angle can degrade sound quality in ways you'll notice long before you notice the damage. The good news: the basics of preservation are cheap, simple, and deeply satisfying to get right.
Whether you own ten records or ten thousand, this guide covers every layer of protection — from a quick pre-play brush to archival-quality sleeve storage.
If you’ve ever pulled a record from its sleeve only to see dust, static cling, or tiny particles floating on the surface, you already know how quickly a listening session can go from exciting to frustrating. That’s where a carbon fiber record brush becomes one of the simplest, most essential tools in any vinyl setup.
