Meet the Team
Crimson Vinyl was born from a lifelong obsession with heavy metal, punk, and hard rock — but even more than that, it was born from a feeling. Jock still remembers the rush of stepping into a record shop as a kid: the smell of cardboard sleeves, the weight of a new LP in his hands, the thrill of flipping through crates hoping to uncover something rare, something loud, something life‑changing. That spark — that electric moment when you discover a new treasure or stumble across a hidden gem — is the heartbeat of Crimson Vinyl. Every record we stock, every update we share, every crate we curate is driven by the desire to recreate that same excitement for collectors today.
Raised on T. Rex, Queen, AC/DC, and the Ted Mulry Gang, Jock’s journey evolved into the heavier, darker corners of music, eventually becoming a lifelong hunt for rare, obscure, and forgotten pressings. Crimson Vinyl is the result of that pursuit: an independent, Perth‑born store built by collectors, for collectors. Every album is hand‑selected, inspected, and priced with fairness and passion, offering rare imports, limited editions, and reissues that stay true to the music’s spirit without breaking the bank.
More than a shop, Crimson Vinyl is a hub for Australian collectors — a place where you’ll never miss a drop, a restock, or a long‑awaited reissue again. Whether you’re chasing a grail, hunting a first press, or building your next stack, we’re here to help you grow a collection that feels alive. Because for us, this isn’t just about selling records. It’s about keeping that childhood magic alive, keeping the heavy loud, and keeping the thrill of discovery spinning on every turntable.
