Pop music was born on vinyl — and the greatest pop records still sound best on the original format. Calcutta Records stocks hundreds of pop vinyl records in our English vinyl collection: from the British Invasion pop of the 60s to the golden era of 80s pop. ABBA, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Madonna — these artists sold millions of records in India, and original pressings from that era are available at Calcutta Records.

Why Collect Pop Vinyl Records in India?

Pop music on vinyl has a richness that streaming simply does not capture. ABBA’s vocals, Michael Jackson’s percussion, Elton John’s piano — on the original pressings these instruments have a presence and physicality that digital formats homogenise. Indian pressings of international pop from the EMI India, CBS India, and Polydor India labels are also historically interesting — they were pressed for the Indian market and carry their own character.

For many Indian collectors in their 40s and 50s, pop vinyl connects directly to childhood memory — the first record player, the first pop album purchased. Hunting down a clean original of a favourite 80s pop album is both a musical upgrade and an emotional journey. Also see: Best Pop Vinyl Records to Start Your Collection.
