About Needlenose Records

Originally started as a hobby, Needlenose Records has come to mean more than that. My name is John McAndrew and I am the face behind Needlenose Records. I began collecting vinyl in the late 2010s when I was 13, my collection began like many others, as a gift. 30 original Frank Sinatra LPs to be specfific from a family friend. Since that time my personal collection has grown in to the thousands with new additions coming every which way.

My love for this form of media lead me to start an Instagram to share my collection and connect with those who did the same. Those connections ultimatley led me to selling, trading, and of course, buying. My philosophy is simple stray away from those who price for profit rather than for purity, and strive to get the music to those who want it.
