Cash moneys for your 1960s–present records.

Thinking of selling your records to Pearl Records? Great – here’s what we’re looking for:

Rock and roll, blues, jazz, Americana, hip-hop, New Orleans, funk, electronic, punk and soul.

If convenient, email us photos of the LP’s spines to so we can assess condition and titles.

Vinyl & covers must be in good shape — no scuffs, scratches, warps, tears, moisture exposure, filmy appearance, mildew, pet or smoke smell. Bonus if the vinyl is in a paper sleeve inside the cover.

We do not buy CDs, 78s, 45s, kid’s music, comedy, spoken word (e.g. speeches), showtunes, big/marching band, 50s music (doo-wop), Time-Life style compilations, easy listening such as Elvis, Lawrence Welk, Neil Diamond, Ann Murray, Perry Como or folk (except Dylan, come on).

Payment options — cash, check, Venmo. Sorry, no trade-ins or store credit.
