Bruce Meaney is the namesake behind Bruce’s LPs. As a retiree, Bruce’s LPs is a labour of love for a lifetime music lover.
Bruce’s LPs is his name, and the widest variety of secondhand vinyls is his game. Bruce’s offering boasts a rare curation of original pressings from the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s that long-time collectors go nuts for. Grandpa appreciates that Bruce also keeps his prices ever so reasonable, as if they have been immune to inflation after all this time!
Growing up in the ‘60s, Bruce was oh so familiar with vinyls as were many others of the era. As technological advancements saw a shift away from the classic medium, Bruce always yearned for a resurgence of vinyl records.
“Like all of us from that era, we got conned into moving away from vinyl to cassettes and then CDS as we moved through the years – What a mistake!”
Bruce’s mission to reignite his passion for vinyl serendipitously coincided with some home renovations, where the carpet in his music room was replaced with floorboards, making the music resonate and produce a richer, more satisfying sound. This epiphany rekindled Bruce’s once-lost love and kick-started Bruce’s LPs.
Bruce’s favourite thing about slinging vinyl is when previous customers will catch him while trading at a fair, and share their delight in the records they have previously bought and loved.
Those who shop from Bruce’s LPs simply cannot be put into a box. Bruce prides himself on the fact that his customers come from all walks of life, and he especially gets a real sense of satisfaction from having the younger crowds getting around his vinyls.
You can find Bruce’s LPs nestled within the physical media aisle at My Dead Grandpa, as well as popping up periodically at the Semaphore Record Fair.
