Maple City Music is a veteran-owned, vinyl-focused record store based in St. Albans, Vermont. We offer curated new and used records online and will launch a community-driven brick-and-mortar store after our founder’s military retirement.

We are located in St. Albans, Vermont, with online shopping available nationwide 24/7/365. Our physical store will open in 2026 in the heart of Maple City.

Yes! You can shop our curated selection of vinyl records directly at www.maplecitymusic.com.

While vinyl is our focus, we also carry cassette tapes, CDs and other physical music media. Games are a new addition to the site, and we offer merch. We’re passionate about preserving and celebrating physical formats.

Yes! Maple City Music was founded by a 28-year U.S. Army veteran and serves as a space for healing, music appreciation, and community connection, especially for fellow veterans and service members.

We offer flat-rate shipping for each product we sell and offer a local pickup option. Details are available at checkout.

ItemYes! Maple City Music buys vinyl records, CDs, and cassette tapes. We're especially interested in well-preserved collections across all genres, including rock, jazz, funk, hip-hop, and local Vermont artists.

All items must be in good to excellent condition:

• No mold, mildew, or water damage

• Vinyl must not be warped or cracked

• Tapes and CDs must play without skipping or distortion

• Original outer sleeves or cases are required

Unfortunately, we do not accept vinyl records, CDs, or tapes without their original sleeves, jackets, or cases. This helps protect the media and add value to your collection.

Before contacting us:

• Make sure your collection is clean and dry

• Organize it by format (vinyl, CD, cassette)

• Note any rare or standout items

• Snap a few photos to send in advance (optional but helpful)

• Contact us using our [Contact Page] with a brief description of your collection.

• We'll respond with next steps or request more info/photos.

• If your collection is a fit, we’ll schedule a time for drop-off or review.

• We make a fair offer based on condition, rarity, and demand.

We're happy to review full collections or pick out select titles, depending on what you’re offering.

Absolutely. We’re proud to partner with Vermont musicians and regularly feature them in our shop and on social media. Want to collab? Reach out to walter@maplecitymusic.com.

The physical Maple City Music storefront is planned to open in 2026, following our founder’s full medical retirement from the military. Stay tuned!
