From start to finish the transaction for vinyl plaque was easy,especially with Simon at the tiller. Packaging was exceptional.

My first record... the perfect gift!!

I recently received a gift which was from my first record and I absolutely loved it! Sometimes I struggle with getting people gifts as they've already got it or you are wanting to buy something different rather than the generic gifts you get each year. Well this present is perfect, it is unique and individually tailored to that person which makes them feel special and that is what I love about it. You can tell a lot of time and care has gone into making this product and I will definitely be buying them as gifts for my family & friends in the future!

Thank you Ellie.....Ellie is my niece & she has recently started a beauty care venture, specialising in facials and massages. So by way of celebration we gifted her a framed 7" vinyl single & picture sleeve of "Perfect Skin" by Lloyd Cole & The Commotions.

First class service

After my initial order, Simon was in touch almost immediately with a query and a solution, the end result being exactly what I hoped for. First class service. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Thank you Neda....We were up against it finding a No1 vinyl single from 70 years ago ( "Mambo Italiano" by Rosemary Clooney from 1955 ) but despite the tight timetable & having to import the rare record from the Netherlands, the recipient was able to receive it at her 70th birthday party!!

Top of the Pops

Needed a quick Birthday gift, Simon and the team responded very quickly and accurately. The product was well packaged and in great condition and was a great 'hit' (forgive the pun) with its recipient. Will definitely use again, superb service.

Thank you Linda - I can't think of a more apt gift for Saskia Grace's 21st birthday than a framed vinyl copy of "Miss Grace", the 1975 No1 by the Tymes

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A smash hit!

A friendly and efficient service from a company with a genuine love of music and a desire to please. Simon was especially engaging and responsive, showing himself to be a true rock and pop aficionado, who you could be assured of in dealing with your request.

50th Birthday Gift

Having found My First Record from an online search, I have been very impressed with the service Simon is offering. He was very patient with my queries and always responded promptly and helpfully. The record I needed for my son's 50th Birthday was not that common place but Simon went the extra mile to track it down . He kept me constantly updated with the progress of the order and despite the best efforts of the Royal Mail to slow down the process, Simon coped with all this and I have the presentation disc and sleeve in frame and with my personal message in it, safely stored for son's birthday at end of the month.
It came by special next day delivery and was very carefully packaged.
I would thoroughly recommend this company to anyone for the very personal service it provides . I did not feel like an order number! A welcome change from today's online services.
Thank you Simon

Great present!

Great product, well presented. No idea how they track these singles down (and with a vintage WH Smith bag!) but they did and it looks fab. Thanks Simon!

Trade secrets Jo!! As you know we sourced the retro WH Smith record department bag to go with your first record from "Smiths" in 1980, ( Buggles "Age of Plastic" from an era when music came in a plastic format! ) as part of our "WH Smith selling vinyl records again after 30 years" competition

Fantastic 18th birthday gift

Simon made a fantastic 18th birthday gift for our son. He framed a copy of Dire Straits "Walk of Life," as it us one of ours son's favourite songs. The myfirstrecord website was easy to use and Simon kept us well informed of the progress of our order. When we gave it to our son on his birthday he was really pleased with his gift. We would certainly recommend myfirstrecord to our friends and family.

Excellent product and experience

I came a cross My First Record and Simon recently on line. I was intrigued with the idea of a record being a unique gift to mark special occasions.
The Web site was very easy to use to order. I chose the No1 vinyl single record in the charts on my date of birth. Simon was attentive and kept me updated by email on the progress of my order.
When it arrived it was amazing. Well produced and great value for money. I love it. I can recommend My First Record and Simon. Great quality product and great customer care and experience.

That's my pleasure Kev.....It was obviously destiny that the No1 on your day of birth was by one of your favourite artists, Elvis Presley ("His latest flame") & a further coincidence being that this week is "Elvis Week"!!

First class product and personal service

I found this site via Google and sent an enquiry via e-mail. Simon phoned me that afternoon to discuss my requirements and to personalise the experience. It's rare to have first-hand contact and such a caring personal service in a world of faceless internet shopping. The product is first class, reflecting the service. Highly recommended.

One of the best online retailer's I've ever used.

One of the best online retailer's 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 us 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 parts 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 using a sticker over any 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!

Thank you Jenny.....If there was an award for best review in 12 years of trading, you would definitely be the winner!! To receive a testimonial like this is better than a sale & to hear about the emotional impact the gift had on the recipient (your Dad) makes it all worthwhile!!
