Mint and Sealed started as an online shop in October 2024 and reached the aim its owner had set, a bricks-and-mortar counter, in Newport Market in July 2025. It is handpicked rather than comprehensive, all killer and no filler by its own description, specialising in indie and hip-hop while spanning jazz, soul, electronic, rock, pop, Americana, folk, country and metal. It publishes its own best-of-the-year lists rather than a chart.
