John's Records, Wolfeboro, N.H.

        Thank you for visiting our web site.   John Heyl has been buying and selling fine, old, used 78s, 45s, 33s and 16 rpm records for many years.   He also constructs and sells models of vintage military aircraft from World War I and II.


Here are just a few labels that can be found in John's stacks, all carefully arranged by genre and recording artist:

Bluebird
Brunswick         Capital
Columbia                               Decca
Halco                                                 Hit
King                                           Lonqueror
Mercury                     o                     M-G-M
Okeh                                             Royale
Tops                                 Vocalion
Varsity, &         of course:
RCA Victor

        Needless to say, there is a lot of great "wax", or should I say "Vinyl"? Actually the older discs are mostly "Bakelite" which I think is a form of plastic, but John can tell me. John focuses on very collectable 10 inch discs (also known as platters), a few of which are single sided recordings. He also has some nice old picture discs and some of the colored vinyl albums. I don't believe that he carries any cylinders, wire or tape recordings, nor does he sell Gramophones, Victrolas, or other hand-crank players yet.   A few items from John's stock are listed on line Please contact us at the e-mail address below with your requests for further information.

        John's Records is open by appointment, or by chance during sunny, warmer days (say 45 degrees and above). The shop is located with Eyes of the Owl - UsedBooks near downtown Wolfeboro, N.H. You can bet that you will hear some of the best music in town while you are browsing.

        John's Records is a longtime participant in the brochure titled "Antiquing East of Lake Winnipesaukee," published by Winnipesaukee Antiques Map.  John tends to keep fairly regular hours during the summer.   The shop will be open occasionally when John is not there, tended by the owner of the bookstore: Wally.

        Wally has been a disc jockey at WUNH radio since 1989, with a real love for the oldtime blues and jazz forms, especially Dixieland.   Well, when he met John, the conversation lasted for hours and he left the old record shop location at Touchmark Antiques, 630 South Main Street, in South Wolfeboro with a heap of wonderful tunes for under $50.   So when John needed to close due to high rent costs, Wally sensed an opportunity to learn more about the great musicians from the decades of the 1900s: 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950's.   The rest (as they say) is history.

NOTICE #1     Gift_Certificates are available in any denomination.
