Second-hand LPs under £10
Full-length albums in used condition, mostly 1960s to 1990s pressings. Each listing shows the seller's grading, usually something like VG+/VG, where the first grade is the record and the second is the sleeve. Our guide to vinyl grading explains what each grade means.
New records under £10
New, sealed records at £10 or less, cheapest first. Expect mostly budget reissues and singles. Now and then a full album drops into this range.

Where else to find records under £10
- Charity shops. Prices are low and stock changes every week. Oxfam runs specialist music shops in several UK cities, such as Southampton, where vinyl is the main stock (Oxfam).
- Car boot sales and record fairs. Dealers often have a box of records at £1 to £5, and many drop prices at the end of the day.
- Job lots. Buying 20 or 50 records at once can bring the cost under £2 a record. Our guide to vinyl job lots shows how to work out a fair price per record.
- Second-hand online. The biggest choice by far. See our guide to buying second hand vinyl for where to look and what to check.
How to get more for under £10
- Look for later pressings. A 1980s repress of a 1970s album usually costs a fraction of the first pressing and plays just as well.
- Try compilations and greatest hits. Hits albums were pressed in huge numbers, so used copies are plentiful and cheap.
- Combine postage. Postage on a single LP is often £3 to £5. Buying two or three records from the same seller and asking for combined postage brings the cost per record down.
- Check the grade, not just the price. A £4 record graded G may crackle all the way through. VG+ is the grade to aim for when buying something to play.

Questions about vinyl under £10
Can you buy new vinyl records for under £10?
Yes, but mostly singles and budget reissues. Full new albums under £10 do appear when they are discounted or near the end of their run, and the list on this page shows the cheapest ones available today.
Why are some second-hand records so cheap?
Popular albums from the 1970s and 1980s were pressed in millions, so there are far more copies than buyers. Condition matters too: a record graded VG or lower sells for much less than a clean copy.
Is cheap vinyl worth buying?
A cheap record in good condition sounds no worse than an expensive one. Check the grade and the photos before you buy, and avoid anything with deep scratches or a warped disc.
Where is the cheapest place to buy vinyl in the UK?
For new records, prices change daily, so compare before you buy. For used records, charity shops, car boot sales and online job lots usually work out cheapest per record.
