What is in this record store email list?

The record store list holds 742 Google Maps listings, counted on 9 November 2026. A row is a shop that sells vinyl, CDs, cassettes and music memorabilia. Most are independent stores with a bin-filled floor, some are used record dealers, and some are shops that also sell turntables, posters or comics.

Record store emails are on 519 rows, each taken from the shop's own website, one address per business. Phone numbers fill 711 rows and websites 646.

The category is Record store on every row. Genres, new versus used stock and online selling are not columns.

How can you segment the file?

Pull the record store CSV into Excel and sort it. For record stores, location and name carry the useful signal.

State and city let a label, distributor or event promoter pick stores near a release show or a Record Store Day campaign. The business name column helps for niche stock: words such as vinyl, records, music, rare, used, jazz, metal or punk hint at the stock. A shop named for its owner or for a neighborhood needs a look at its site.

The website column tells you whether a store sells online, which matters to a pressing plant or a mailer supplier that cares about shipping volume.

• State and city: build a tour or distribution plan.
• Name keywords: used and rare for dealers, jazz or metal for genre shops.
• Email type: 117 named-person addresses reach owners and buyers, 157 role addresses reach the shop inbox.
• Website: check for an online store and a stock list.

Who buys a record store email list?

Independent labels and artists with vinyl releases use it to find stores that might stock their records. Distributors who carry many labels try to add shops as accounts. Pressing plants and mastering studios target stores that run their own label.

Suppliers of record sleeves, inner bags, shelving, display racks and cleaning gear sell to shops by catalog. Turntable and audio gear makers recruit dealers. Point of sale software vendors and shipping tools reach stores that sell on Discogs or their own site. Event organizers pitch Record Store Day tie-ins and record fairs, and music magazines sell ads to shops.

How do you run outreach to record stores?

Record store owners are collectors who run a thin-margin business, and the buyer is often the owner. The emails split into 117 named-person addresses and 157 role addresses, and the rest are of other types. A role address such as info@ or the store name at a domain often goes straight to the owner, so write it as a note to a person who knows the catalog.

Tell them what you have and how they get paid. A label should send a link to the release and say whether it sells on consignment or at wholesale, with the price per copy. A distributor should say which genres it carries. A supplier of sleeves should list sizes and pack prices. Store owners ignore notes that sound like generic marketing, and they tend to answer a message that names a record they might stock.

Check the store's site for genres and stock before you write, so a hardcore label does not pitch a jazz shop. Dedupe by domain, because chains and multi-location stores list each shop, and send in small batches.

What email rules apply when you contact record stores?

Emailing a record shop for business purposes brings in two CAN-SPAM basics. Add a valid physical postal address for your company or label, and a working opt-out that you honor. A shop owner who tells you to stop sending release announcements has opted out and must be removed from future lists.

Which states and cities should you start with?

California is on top with 139 record shops and 97 emails. Texas has 65 listings and 46 emails, Florida 51 and 36, New York 39 and 27. Then North Carolina has 32 (22), Ohio 31 (22), Illinois 28 (20), Washington 26 (18), Pennsylvania 25 (18) and Arizona 22 (15).

In cities, Los Angeles has 23 listings and Chicago 18. Brooklyn, Portland and Seattle have 16 each, San Diego 14, Philadelphia 13, San Francisco 11 and San Antonio 11, and Austin 11.

A label planning a West Coast run can start with Los Angeles, San Diego, Portland and Seattle. A distributor with regional trucks can take Texas, then add cities. The email column sets the size of an email send, and the phone column covers the stores that publish only a number.
