our shop is easy to browse, divided into theme units
and does not strain your eyes (special large print, soft
colors, no pop-ups and ads, and no need to click your
way through endless a-z lists. we designed our shop
the way WE like a shop - easy, mellow, retro, colorful,
and most of all: fun to visit. so be our guest.

there are many secondhand vinyl record stores in the
internet. most of you know a number of them and
some of you already know our own shop here which
goes by the name of Tom's Recordland.

for those of you who do not know us yet: let me introduce
Tom's Recordland here. our rare vinyl record collectors
online shop features tons of vintage vinyl, hard to find,
deleted and out-of-print records, collectable vinyl records
of all genres, in fact more music than most people have
ever held in their hands or heard with their ears.

and we are able to keep a
consistently high level of
quality in terms of both vinyl
and covers because we sell
off medium-quality items to
flea market vendors.

we specialize in those
fabulous german and other
european picture sleeve 45-
rpm 7-inch singles and eps.
and of course we take great
care to include almost only
sleeves in top condition.

and of course we also
specialize in those
elusive dreams: rare
swiss rock, pop, punk and
jazz vinyl records. and the
ultrarare 60's swiss
special and club editions
of major international
artists.

we are located in switzerland and ship
worldwide - safe, secure, fast and reliable,
with our special sturdy packaging with
reinforced corners.

and finally this remark: no, you won't find our
records in internet auction sites or shop-
conglomerates. not ever.

Tom's Recordland features several different domain
addresses (e.g. record-paradise.com and rare-vinyl-
record.com for English-speaking international visitors).

(Our German-speaking friends and visitors mostly prefer our
German-language domain address www.schallplatten.ch or
www.recordland.ch).

rock, funk, soul, disco,
punk, hip hop, reggae,
lounge, male/female
vocals, german, french,
italian pop, country,
progrock, psychedelic,
world music, jazz,
blues, etc. you name it,
we got it.

and mind you: every one of the
thousands of records in our vinyl
oldies shop - whether common
stock or rare - has been tested
ACOUSTICALLY, not just
visually !

plus, if necessary, the records
have been professionally cleaned
using our vpi record cleaning
machine. it is a legend in its own
right and we can sincerely
recommend it to any record dealer
and collector. it is simple, sturdy,
reliable and effective.

we stock pressings
from all over the
world, mainly
european: from the
uk, france, germany,
austria, holland, italy,
but also many us
pressings and records
made in countries
such as japan,
greece, spain,
portugal, canada,
mexico, philippines,
etc, etc.

by the way, every picture
on this page is a link to
the respective page of
our website.

vinyl is a retro thing and the music we sell is retro as well.
and our philosophy of hard work and honest dealing is
retro as well. so excuse me, if i keep the design of this
website retro and low-tech as well. it's my style. i hate
electronic shopping carts and will not succumb to soul-
less high-tech site design.

finally a word about myself. this place is called tom's recordland because i
want you to know that there is a flesh-and-bone person behind it, someone
who knows and loves what he sells and cares about the people who come
here - because it is our music and our love for the music that connects us
all in a magical way.

to me a record shop should be a place where i feel
comfortable and the owner has the time and interest to
talk to me personally.
