From classic rock and jazz to soul, blues, and local NZ artists, our curated selection of vintage vinyl and CDs is all about one thing — helping you find the sound that feels just right.
Phonograph — where recorded music began
In the late 1800s, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph — the first machine that could record and replay sound. From that moment, music was no longer fleeting. It could be captured, replayed, and shared — a revolution that forever changed how we experience sound.
By the 1950s and 60s, vinyl had taken over living rooms around the world. Dropping the needle became a ritual — the quiet crackle before the first note, the warmth of the tone, the artwork you could hold.
Then came the 70s and 80s, when vinyl wasn’t just a way to listen — it was the heartbeat of culture. Albums like Abbey Road, Ziggy Stardust, Dark Side of the Moon, and Houses of the Holy didn’t just define music — they defined moments in time.

Eventually, the digital age arrived, and vinyl nearly disappeared. But true music never dies. Today, vinyl is alive again — not just as nostalgia, but as a celebration of authenticity in an increasingly digital world.
At TRON Records, we believe vinyl is more than a format — it’s a feeling. The gentle crackle before the song begins, the weight of the record in your hands, the art that tells its own story.
Our collection spans from global icons like The Beatles, Bowie, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin to local NZ artists. Rock, jazz, blues, funk, soul, punk, metal, country, R&B — whatever speaks to you, you’ll find it spinning here.
Each record is carefully labelled with the price, artist, album, format, country of origin, release year, reference number, and condition.
