About Us

We are Mark and Lee, owners of Off The Beaten Tracks, a family run independent record shop established in 2004. 

Our shop is located in the market town of Louth, Lincolnshire, UK where you will find a thriving community of independent businesses. Our business started with a stall on the market in the autumn of 2003 before opening our first shop at 29 Aswell Street in March 2004.

Our second premises at 36 Aswell Street.

In June 2022 we moved to no. 8 Aswell Street, our third premises on this street.

'Would highly recommend as I have shopped here for vinyl since they opened and have subsequently extended my record collection with loads of gems. Mark always goes out of his way to source out rare vinyl for us.'

'A veritable cornucopia of music and film! A huge selection of Compact Discs (both current releases and pre-owned), a mountain of pre-loved and new Vinyl, boxes and boxes of 7" Singles perfect for rifling through, and hundreds of DVD's.
The ideal place for both the serious music junkie and the casualist shopper.'
