The Bop Shop began selling records through the mail from the day we opened our doors 26 years ago. First selling through magazines such as Goldmine and Discoveries, we eventually started printing our own catalog of records for sale on a monthly basis. Sending out catalogs to hundreds of costumers, we built up a loyal clientele that stayed with us when we made the switch to the internet. Since then we’ve sold thousands of records to satisfied customers all over the world. With our new, improved website we’ll be able to expand our store even more.
