Rocka-Buy Records – A Family-Run Vinyl Record Shop in Oakham
Nestled in the heart of Oakham, Rocka-Buy Records is a family-run independent record store with music at its core and community in its soul. From vintage vinyl to cult classics and collectible rarities, every record on our shelves is handpicked with care and a genuine love for music.
We’re passionate about creating a welcoming space for everyone—from first-time buyers to lifelong collectors. Whether you’re crate-digging for a lost treasure or just want to chat about music over the counter, you’ll find a personal touch that only a family-run shop can offer.
Based at The Maltings on Mill Street, we buy and sell vinyl records, CDs, and music memorabilia. You can also browse our carefully curated selection online. At Rocka-Buy, it’s all about good music, good people, and keeping the spirit of vinyl alive—one record at a time.
