Where can I buy vinyl records online in India?

You can buy vinyl records online through specialized stores like Calcutta Records, which offers a curated selection of vintage and rare LPs, especially Japanese pressings. Look for platforms that grade records clearly and offer safe shipping.

Are vintage vinyl records still worth buying?

Absolutely. Vintage vinyl offers warm, analog sound and collectible value. Many older pressings — especially Japanese, UK, or US — have superior mastering and build quality. Stores like Calcutta Records verify condition and authenticity for collectors and casual listeners alike.

How can I check the condition of a used vinyl before buying?

Reputable sellers grade vinyl records using standards like NM (Near Mint), VG+ (Very Good Plus), etc. At Calcutta Records, every record is inspected and described with visible wear, audio playability, and sleeve condition noted in detail.

What are Japanese pressings in vinyl and why are they special?

Japanese pressings are known for their audiophile-grade sound, heavier vinyl, and attention to detail. These editions often include bonus inserts and are quieter in playback. Collectors often seek them for quality and rarity — Calcutta Records specializes in sourcing these.

Where can I buy cassette tapes and CDs online in India?

Though harder to find, niche stores like Calcutta Records offer curated selections of vintage cassette tapes and CDs, including international and Indian releases. Look for sellers who test tapes and grade CD condition to avoid playback issues.

Are cassettes and CDs making a comeback?

Yes — cassettes are popular again for lo-fi charm and nostalgic value. CDs are appreciated for digital clarity and affordable collecting. Both formats are being reissued and collected worldwide, especially in indie, hip-hop, and underground scenes.

How do I safely play vintage vinyl, CDs, or cassettes?

For vinyl, use a turntable with a clean stylus and balanced tonearm. For CDs, avoid scratches and use a working tray loader. For cassettes, use a deck with good azimuth alignment. Calcutta Records also stocks select players and accessories.

How do I find rare or collectible music releases online?

Look for sellers who specialize in genres, countries (like Japanese pressings), or limited-edition runs. Follow their Instagram or newsletter — Calcutta Records regularly updates its feed with unique finds and restocks.

Is there a physical store for Calcutta Records?
