Find Your Groove with Vinyl Records at Abt

Music is one of the best ways to set the mood, whether entertaining guests or getting things done around the house by yourself. If you're looking for a more classic way to enjoy your favorite artists in the midst of the modern streaming era, take out your turntable and explore Abt's selection of vinyl records. Vinyl records date all the way back to the 1930s, their design initially smaller and meant for music singles. By the 1960s, stereo LPs (full-length albums) were one of the most popular ways to listen to music. As years of audio technology evolution saw the release of cassette tapes, CDs and MP3 players, vinyl sales began to decline, nearly becoming an obsolete option to listeners. As nostalgia and the love of all things vintage began to sweep over popular culture in the 2010s, many fads in fashion, film and music, including vinyl, saw a resurgence. These albums began reentering stores and markets, even gaining enough demand to bring back record stores across the nation. As of today, collecting vinyl records is once again a well-loved pastime and Abt is happy to be one of the sources for your newest soundtrack.

No matter how new the music is, vinyl records are guaranteed to give each melody that authentically retro sound with pops, crackles and distortion. We also carry plenty of genres from country to pop, perfect for any and every occasion. If you're looking to put on your dancing shoes and throw a party, try disco or techno. Prepare to headbang and play your best air guitar solo yet when you listen to one of our rock albums. Vibe to the heavy beats and innovative lyricism of R&B or rap albums from Abt.
