For Music Lovers
All About Us
We Love Music
Paula and Joe acquired this Chilliwack record business from Classic Sound in March, 2020. We’ve been in the record business for many, many years. We met while working at Kelly’s Stereo Mart in the late ‘70’s - Joe was the National Record Buyer and Paula, his secretary. Fast forward to 2016 when we owned and operated Underground Music in Kelowna for 2.5 years.
We returned to the Lower Mainland to be near our family in 2019 and found retirement wasn’t ready for us yet. Karl at Classic Sound recently went with an online business model and we have taken over his space. We now sell affordable audio equipment.
The cornerstone of our business success has always been our relationship with our Customers. That is why Chilliwax Records will be working hard to ensure the communities of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley have an enjoyable record shopping experience. Come share the love of music.
We promise to provide you with the best records for the best price.

We Sell Vinyl Records and more....

We make sure our customers’ musical needs are met by selling them great quality records.

We have recently expanded our METAL section! Our Jazz and Blues are always being updated with new vinyl titles and used from incoming collections. We are pretty sure we have every soundtrack there is! Country? All the classics plus new country like Colter Wall, Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood....
Crooners and Divas, World, Grunge, Reggae, Comedy, Children's, Folk, Easy Listening, Classical....we have what you are looking for!
Posters? Huge selection of all the latest artists, movies and classics. We have decorated more walls in Chilliwack than Benjamin Moore! We also carry a great selection of pins and patches! Come check us out!
We love Special Orders! It is impossible for us to stock everything, but we do invite you Special Order something you would like us to bring in. No deposit required, but we ask that you pick your title up as quickly as possible when notified of its' arrival. If you are unable to pick up within a few days, we can arrange for prepayment by eTrans or credit card.
Also, we are at the mercy of our suppliers, so when we say it may take months for the item to arrive, we appreciate your patience as we all wait. Please consider that when we call to tell you your item is in and you 'already got it as a gift' or 'bought it somewhere else', it may be difficult for us to now sell your Special Order.
That being said, we learn from you! Some Special Orders become hot selling items as we often bring a copy in for ourselves when we see what we've been missing! Thank you for supporting our small business!
