About Speed City Record

Speed City Records is an independent record store located on Springbank Drive in the Kensal Park neighbourhood of London, Ontario. The shop serves the local music community by offering a wide variety of records and used CDs, which are updated in the bins on a weekly basis. In addition to music, the store buys and sells stereo gear and handles the purchase of whole collections. Customers can also browse and purchase items through the store's live Discogs listing. The business was founded by Michael Todd on March 1, 1997, following the closure of a previous shop called In Yer Ear. It describes itself as a working record store that has remained relevant by focusing on local knowledge, fair dealing, and a commitment to buying and selling used music. The shop's name originated from a London song recorded in 1970. Beyond retail, the business supports the local music culture by organizing the London Record Show. For those looking to sell their music, the shop encourages potential sellers to call ahead to discuss their items. The store maintains a presence in the local scene by engaging with collectors, regulars, and local releases.
