Our Story

Welcome to Elevation Music Movies Comics—Dublin’s iconic home for music lovers, comic fanatics, and movie enthusiasts alike! Our doors opened at our current vibrant location on July 1st, 2023, but the heartbeat of Elevation began echoing through Dublin back in 1954, when our founder, Jimmy Murray, first sparked a musical revolution at Murray’s Record Centre on Little Strand Street.

At Elevation, we’re proud caretakers of a legacy spanning seven decades—a legacy built on passion, authenticity, and an unwavering dedication to curating exceptional records, comics, movies, and unique memorabilia. From the golden age of vinyl in the swinging '60s to today’s dynamic digital landscape, we've stayed true to our roots while continually evolving to inspire new generations of collectors and enthusiasts.

Step inside our store and you'll quickly realize Elevation is more than just a shop; it's a vibrant cultural epicenter where connections are made, memories relived, and new stories discovered. Our shelves are filled not only with rare vinyl treasures and timeless comics but also with countless stories waiting to resonate with you.

Our strength lies in the personal touch and deep expertise handed down through generations. Today, the torch is proudly carried by Jimmy’s son, Brian, alongside his wife Milena, whom he serendipitously met in our very own shop when she journeyed from Italy in 1997 to experience U2 live—a journey that turned into a lasting love story. Now joined by their sons Davide and Alessio, nephew James, and the dynamic duo Patrick and Paddy, our family extends beyond bloodlines to every customer who walks through our doors.

We warmly invite you to explore Elevation Music Movies Comics—a place where nostalgia meets innovation, where every visit sparks joy and curiosity, and where your passion is celebrated. Whether you’re an avid collector hunting for that elusive gem, a casual fan seeking new inspiration, or simply curious about the magic hidden in music, movies, and comics, we promise a welcoming environment filled with enthusiasm and genuine care. Thank you for becoming a treasured part of our ongoing story. Together, let's keep writing the soundtrack of Dublin's cultural heritage—one extraordinary find at a time.
