As some customers like to know who they are dealing with before committing to an online purchase, here is some background blurb on MyFirstRecord via audio / video provided by owner Simon Sterland, who also operates vicariously under the social media monikers / pseudonyms “Vinyl Lionel” and “Lionel McVinyl”

Yesterday MyFirstRecord.co.uk received this glowing review on Trustpilot from Jenny Higgins in Thornton-Cleveleys…..

“One of the best online retailers I’ve ever experienced! I want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to Simon at MyFirstRecord for going ABOVE & BEYOND for me with my order. You can tell Simon is passionate about his products and providing customers with incredible customer service.

My order was for my Dad’s 60th Birthday and I’d had difficulty with the payment and my Paypal account, but Simon personally rang me and pre-ordered the components (vinyl & engraved plaque) for my gift as a gesture of good will – you don’t get that with most sellers on ETSY.

What I like best about the product is that Simon uses the original record, rather than just putting a sticker over any random old vinyl – which really makes the perfect gift.

The product was packed excellently and arrived in perfect condition on time for my Dad’s birthday – just like Simon promised.

Thank you again SO MUCH for all of your help. My dad loved his gift and even had a little tear in his eye – which I’ve only ever seen once before!”

Jenny had already explained: “My Dad retired a few years ago and this is his 60th birthday #gift to hang on the wall as he has recently converted my old bedroom into a music studio. The record is a very special one for my family, as my Grandma was one of the backing singers on the track!”

Jenny’s grandmother was one of Emile Ford’s “Checkmates” (she’s one of the two backing singers behind the piano in the adjacent photo)…..

Our packaging and frames are sourced from companies who observe and adhere to eco friendly practices.

And of course the very nature of using second hand vinyl records and CDs is environmentally friendly in itself!!

Therefore we are happy to support The Good Weigh, a Zero Waste Store, in our local neighbourhood, Lady Bay, in Nottingham. They provide “plastic free groceries to help maintain our beautiful planet”….

Amongst others we support Earth Day, Earth Month and Cloth Nappy Week, as illustrated by these specially created framed 7″ vinyl singles below, designed to promote these important environmental issues.

Music therapy helps produce more of the brain’s “feel-good chemicals” including melatonin, serotonin and prolactin in Alzheimer patients.

Put simply, listening to music, improves patients’ moods, cognitive aptitude and the quality of their lives.

For this reason MyFirstRecord.co.uk donates 2% of every order to the Alzheimer’s society.
