Jock Patterson
Jock is the heart and soul behind Crimson Vinyl. A lifelong lover of heavy metal, his musical journey began in the classic rock era of the 1970s, spinning records from legends like Queen, T. Rex, AC/DC, and the Ted Mulry Gang. As the genre evolved, so did his passion — embracing the explosive energy of the 1980s metal scene and continuing to explore the ever-expanding world of hard rock and heavy music.
His dedication goes beyond listening — Jock is a committed collector and researcher, always on the hunt for rare pressings, limited editions, and hidden gems that deserve a place in every fan’s collection. His deep knowledge and personal connection to the music drive Crimson Vinyl’s mission to make great records accessible to all.
​
Jock’s vision is simple: to help others discover, rediscover, and celebrate the music that moves them. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your vinyl journey, Jock is here to guide you through the noise and into the groove.
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.
