FAQ

What's the difference between the mystery box tiers?

All three boxes contain four vinyl records, but the curation and included extras vary by price point. The Backstage Pass (£29) mixes classic albums with easy-listening favourites, ideal for building a collection affordably. The Headliner (£39) focuses on well-known artists and essential albums that every collector should own. The Collectors Cut (£49) leans into deep cuts, rarities and cult classics for those chasing something more unexpected.

What condition are the records in?

Most records are pre-owned and graded VG+ or better, with every LP cleaned and checked before dispatch to ensure good playback. Sleeves can sometimes show a bit more wear than the vinyl itself, particularly on rarer or more collectible pressings. If a record ever arrives below the expected condition or doesn't play properly, it will be replaced or refunded.

Can I choose which records I get?

No — that's the fun of it. Each box is a genuine surprise, hand-picked by the curators from a mix of vintage and modern collections. You can, however, mention your favourite genres or artists when ordering, and the team will factor this into your selection.

How is delivery handled?

Orders are shipped free of charge via Royal Mail 48 Hour Tracked, so every parcel comes with tracking as standard. Once your box is dispatched, it should arrive safely and ready to play, packaged with the unboxing experience in mind.

The Mystery Vinyl Boxes

It all starts with the ritual

In a world dominated by algorithms and digital playlists, we missed the ritual of vinyl. The weight of the sleeve, the artwork you can get lost in, and that first needle drop that changes the room. For us, music feels more meaningful when it has history.

Curated from real collections

We don’t work with bulk wholesale pallets. Every record in our mystery boxes is hand-selected from a private archive of thousands of vintage pressings and carefully chosen new releases. Our collection has been built over decades of digging, listening, and collecting.

Slide image

Real records. Real history.

We believe a mystery box should be a discovery, not a gamble. That’s why we source from specialist vinyl auctions and exclusive private collections, focusing on well-preserved archives and rare pressings. Every box is VG or better, balanced, and curated by collectors who understand what makes a record worth owning.

Absolutely brilliant surprise! Couldn’t have hoped for a better selection. Cheers guys - it’s going to be hard not to order another straight away.

I was fairly happy with the Backstage Pass bundle, but probably wouldn’t order again. The David Bowie record I received ‘ Tin Machine’ was clearly the cheapest and least sought after option. A more popular album would have been better. The Motown records were just bog standard, commercial compilations and nothing particularly special. The sleeves were also in poor condition which was disappointing. I also recieved a bag and a patch badge which are of no use to me. Perhaps pin badges, magnets, posters or music/artist fact files would be more appropriate for a wider customer base in the future. Overall the purchase was ‘ok’ but not something I would purchase again in the future unless the bundles improve

Hi Danielle,
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the selection wasn't quite what you were hoping for, although we did want to add some context for anyone reading.
When ordering, your selected preferences included David Bowie, Free and Northern Soul/Motown. Your Backstage Pass was therefore curated with Tin Machine – Tin Machine, Free – Fire and Water and Motown Dance – With a Bullet, so all three records were selected directly from the artists and genres requested.
Both the Tin Machine and Free albums were early pressings, with a combined retail value of around £35–£40, rather than budget copies. We completely appreciate that a more familiar Bowie album may have been preferable; however, due to the higher sourcing costs of those titles, they are generally found in our Collector's Cut boxes and above.
The Backstage Pass is our £29 entry-level box, with our higher tiers designed for customers looking for increasingly collectible and higher-value pressings.
We're also sorry to hear your comments regarding the sleeves. Every record is condition checked before dispatch and should meet our advertised standards. Had you contacted us about their condition, we'd have been very happy to look into this for you.
Thank you again for giving us a try.

Records were fine, but i could have picked them up elsewhere for less money, so a bit dissapointing

Appreciate the honest feedback!

Your preferences covered metal, 70s electric folk, punk, psych and krautrock. For the Backstage price point, we curated around your punk and psych picks with classic titles like Patti Smith Group, Grateful Dead and Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygène.

Our original krautrock, metal and electric folk pressings are naturally rarer and command higher values, which is why those live in our Collector's Cut tier and above.

Drop us a message if you fancy giving a higher tier a spin, we'd love to hunt down those rarer pressings for you!

A good selection of artists, well suited to my tastes. But I was disappointed at the inclusion of an unopened bootleg record.
