Your Local Record Store, Just Online
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.
Today we’re a family-run, independent online record store based in Verona, Wisconsin. We sell brand new vinyl records and CDs, sourced direct from artists, record labels, and music distributors. We started out selling mostly CDs before vinyl’s big comeback, and we still keep CDs right alongside our vinyl, because they remain one of the most affordable ways to own the music you love.
You’ll also find a strong selection of special editions, including indie exclusives and colored vinyl variants. Most new releases start out as pre-orders, and every pre-order comes with our Price Guarantee: if the price drops before release day, we automatically refund the difference.
We take pride in getting your music to you in excellent condition. Records are stored properly in-house, inspected before they ship, and packed in protective vinyl mailers to prevent damage. If something does arrive less than perfect, we’ll work with you to make it right. You can read what our customers say in our 1,600+ store reviews.
If you ever have a question, need help with an order, want a recommendation, or are looking for music we don’t have listed on the website, reach out by phone, email, or chat. To see what just arrived, browse our new releases, or follow along on our blog, the Collide-O-Scope.
Vinyl records and CDs offer a tangible, enhanced listening experience, from excellent audio quality to flipping through the lyrics, artwork, and liner notes while your favorite album plays. We believe in that tactile side of music, and our catalog keeps growing. Get physical with your music!
