There are those watershed, defining moments in your life that you never forget…….Passing your driving test, leaving school, getting married, the birth of your children and of course buying your first record.

In recent times the vinyl record has become revered and worshipped, especially compared with the hollow, empty and invisible music download. The vinyl record is iconic with a life and personality appealing to most of the senses – it was very tactile with a funky label, and that distinctive plastic aroma. From the 1950s through to the 1990s, vinyl records sound tracked and chronicled all our lives

We can all remember buying our first single – arriving home from Woolworths, WH Smiths, Our Price, Virgin or an independent record shop and playing it non-stop on the dansette record player

Well you can preserve those memories of buying your first record for posterity. Celebrate your first record in your home or office, by ordering your first record in a vinyl or CD format; single, album or album cover; framed and mounted as a picture disc souvenir. You can also personalise it with an inscribed / engraved plaque. Or order it as gift for a special occasion for a friend or family member. ORDER NOW…….. www.myfirstrecord.co.uk/
