Based in the heart of the Shires, Northamptonshire, England, Rare Music Direct has evolved from a desire to collect and listen to a wide range of vinyl 45’s.

As with most collectors, there comes a time when duplicates and items purchased within bulk lots are suitable for passing on to other collectors. Hence the site was written with you in mind. It has details per 45, giving full details of the item description with impressive cross-links per artist, per category and per label which is as far as I am aware unique to this site.

I operate the site with the assistance of my understanding partner, Sasha who takes care of many of the administration areas and helps insure you receive top service.

For the future, the site will be subject to on going development such as sections for cd’s, new vinyl releases, books and magazines etc and any ideas you have can be directed to us at for consideration.
