Please note that each of our three outlets are in antiques or craft emporiums. We do not generally work in these spaces. Staff are not vinyl specialists but can contact us by phone if you wish to talk to us directly about a purchase or possible sale.
Our Journey:
Originally conceived as a plausible idea during Covid, Royal Owl Records began in 2022. The business started with 8 boxes of albums for sale on a shelf in Manningtree. Demand grew and soon the records and CDs for sale multiplied. Larger spaces were rented and very soon selling music in Halstead also became a reality.
Again, customers liked what we could offer and this space expanded also. In September 2025 we opened our third unit in Dedham and continue to look for ways to offer the widest range of vinyl, CD, Tape and music memorabilia.
