Carefully selected
We focus on records and CDs we would be happy to play ourselves, from familiar classics to left-field discoveries.
The shop
Records chosen for the long haul
Music for the Soul Records is an independent record shop in Urmston, Manchester, built for listeners who still love the ritual of a proper browse.
The way we work
A proper record shop, not just a pile of stock
We sell new and pre-loved vinyl and CDs across the sounds that deserve time, attention and another listen. Every piece of pre-owned stock is checked, cleaned and honestly graded before it reaches the racks.
Whether you are filling a gap in a collection, chasing a first pressing, or simply after something unexpected, the aim is the same: make every find worth taking home.
Collector standards
How we look after the records
Cleaned before sale
Pre-owned vinyl is cleaned and checked, so you can spend less time worrying and more time listening.
Honest grading
We describe condition clearly and grade stock with care, giving collectors the confidence to buy.
Always changing
The shelves are for wandering
Expect a changing mix of rock, indie, soul, funk, jazz, punk, electronic, hip-hop and pop, plus CDs and the odd surprise.

Come and have a dig
The best finds do not always announce themselves online. Pop in, take your time and ask if there is something specific you are hunting for.
