Our Story
Car Boot Soul Records. Dig deeper.
Kiko Duffy started Car Boot Soul Records in 2017 as a side project — the natural overflow of a lifelong obsession with soul, jazz, reggae and funk that started behind the decks as a club promoter at university and never really stopped. While building a career in venture capital, the record buying continued. The collection grew. The Discogs store opened. And what began as a hobby quietly became something more serious.
In 2020, a serious brush with COVID changed things. With time to think and energy to redirect, what had been a passion project became a full-time business. Car Boot Soul Records went from a well-curated side hustle to an independent specialist operation — online across Discogs, eBay and carbootsoul.com with a warehouse in South London. We have served over 10,000 customers and having 100% positive feedback on Discogs. Read our feedback here.
Car Boot Soul Records is a UK registered company (UK Registered Company Number 10560304).
What we sell
We are a soul music specialist
We specialise in soul, jazz, reggae, funk and blues. We sell vinyl records and CDs and sell both second-hand and brand new copies.
Every secnd-hand record in our collection is professionally cleaned then graded honestly against Goldmine standards. What you read in a listing is what arrives at your door.
Over the years we've acquired some remarkable private collections. Among the most significant is the Maxi Jazz Collection — reggae LPs and 45s, soul 45s, EDM LPs and 12"s, and Faithless-related material belonging to the late Maxi Jazz, founder of Faithless and one of the great figures of British music.
