For Music Lovers
All About Us
We Love Music
Formerly Classic Sound, Paula and Joe acquired this Chilliwack record business 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 agreed to share his space in downtown Chilliwack. Paula & Joe are operating as Chilliwax Records and Karl, as Classic Sound, with high quality audio equipment. A match made in Chilliwack!
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
NEW and Vintage Vinyl
We make sure our customers’ musical needs are met by selling them great quality records. From 60’s - 70's classic Rock, to Hip Hop and Metal, we’ve got something for everyone.
We are in the processing of cataloging our New Vinyl and would love to share a listing with you at your request! Just fill out the form at the bottom of this site.
Our April feature are these two classics:
CLOUDS - Joni Mitchell
This 1969 hit album was not only produced by Joni Mitchell, but she also painted the gorgeous self-portrait cover art. And we love Joni's subtle show of Canadian pride by holding Saskatchewan's provincial flower. Featuring Stephen Stills on guitar/bass, this album includes the hit 'Both Sides Now', sitting at #171 on the list of 500 All Time Greatest Hits. This LP also landed on a recent episode of the hit TV show, "This Is Us'. Stop by today and pick up your copy.
CLOUD NINE - GEORGE HARRISON
George Harrison would have been 77 on February 25 and we still miss him so. This 1987 studio album was Harrison's first in five years. Co-produced with ELO's Jeff Lynne, the album received mixed but favourable reviews. We love the 'back up band' of Clapton, Elton John, Gary Wright, Jim Horn, Ringo Starr and more.
