WHAT WE DO
Welcome to Rather Unique, a record store with a passion for reviving lost and unheard gems of hip-hop. We’re more than just a shop – we’re dedicated to uncovering, refurbishing, and sharing rare vinyl albums that embody the roots of the culture. Our mission is to preserve the essence of hip-hop by restoring its hidden sounds, bringing legendary beats, rare verses, and untold stories back to life. Each record we restore adds to the legacy, offering true hip-hop enthusiasts a chance to experience music that has been waiting to be heard.
HOW IT’S DONE
The journey begins with uncovering hidden treasures—forgotten vinyls tucked away in basements, warehouses, and private collections. Each record undergoes a meticulous inspection for authenticity and potential. Once selected, we clean, repair, and restore the vinyl using specialized techniques to revive its sound quality without compromising its original essence. Finally, the sleeves are refurbished or recreated to honor the artistry of the era, ensuring every record is as visually striking as it is sonically rich.
