Burning Shed Records

Burning Shed Records is a gem for anyone passionate about progressive, ambient, electronic, and art rock music. As an independent label and online store founded in 2001 by musicians Tim Bowness, Pete Morgan, and Peter Chilvers, it’s clear that this operation is driven by a genuine love for the craft. Their catalog is a carefully curated treasure trove, featuring both established acts like Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, and King Crimson, as well as lesser-known artists who deserve more attention. The selection feels personal and artist-focused, living up to their vision of being an online extension of iconic labels like 4AD and ECM.

What stands out most is their customer service—responsive, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Orders arrive quickly, even internationally, and are packaged with care to ensure your vinyl, CDs, or box sets arrive in pristine condition. I’ve seen countless reviews praising the team for resolving issues like damaged items swiftly and without hassle, often sending replacements at no extra cost. That level of dedication is rare in today’s retail landscape.

“Burning Shed feels like a trusted friend who always knows the best records to recommend.”

The website is straightforward and easy to navigate, with a nice mix of exclusive releases, pre-orders, and merchandise like t-shirts and books. Prices are reasonable for the quality and rarity of what’s on offer, and their newsletters keep you in the loop without feeling spammy. Shipping can be a bit pricey if you’re outside the UK, but that’s par for the course with niche overseas retailers—it’s worth it for the reliability and selection.

Burning Shed Records feels like a trusted friend who always knows the best records to recommend. Highly recommended for music lovers who value quality over mass-market fluff.
