Your Local (online) Record Store
Founded in 2011, Collide Records began out of founder and music lover Greg Bartels’ desire to share music that was relevant to faith and life, a combination of quality music and engaging lyrics. “Something special happens when you’re listening to music, and then you catch a lyric that really hits home,” says Greg. “You feel this connection with the music, or even the artist.” We continue to focus on this intersection, where quality music and engaging lyrics collide.
We are a very small company based in Verona, Wisconsin. Think of us as your local record store, just online. Our size gives us the opportunity to really focus on our products and customer service. We sell only brand new records and cds that we’ve sourced direct from artists, record labels, and music distribution channels. We take pride in getting music to our customers in excellent condition, from proper in-house storage, to shipping records in protective vinyl mailers to prevent damage. If you ever have a question, need assistance with an order, want a recommendation, or are looking for music we don’t have listed on the website, please reach out via phone, email or chat.
Vinyl records and CDs offer a tangible, enhanced listening experience. From excellent audio quality to the experience of flipping through the lyrics, artwork, and liner notes while listening to your favorite tunes. We believe in this tactile aspect of music and offer an expanding catalog of records and cds. Get physical with your music!
