As dedicated record collectors, we at Jazzman we love nothing more than discovering good and obscure soul, jazz and funk records. We also love making those records available to everyone else, whether in their original format or by reissuing them as 45s, LPs or on CD. We started out by selling rare and obscure vinyl from a market stall in Camden in the early ‘90s, and we have now branched out into reissuing those very records so sought after by collectors. The result so far is 6 record labels and over 200 high quality releases on LP, CD, 7” and as downloads. We continue to scour the world to find interesting and rare records to re-release, and to supply DJs and collectors with a fast and efficient worldwide mailorder service. Have a browse through our website, and you’ll soon see that We Dig Deeper!
