“ I was lucky enough to win My First Record's "Oddest Ways to Propose" Valentine's competition and my prize is an amazing framed vinyl of Toots and the Maytals' "Reggae got Soul". It's amazing!!! It's fantastic quality, extremely well made and looks so cool!! Oh, fantastic customer service too - friendly, swift communication throughout and the product was well packaged. My framed vinyl record is such a lovely and unique way to remember our wedding first dance song - such a brilliant and personal gift. I love it!!! Thank you!”

“ Dear Simon, just wanted to say how thrilled I was with the finished product. When you weren’t initially able to fulfil my request as the song "True Love" by Pink hadn’t been released on vinyl and there were no CD copies available in the UK, I was very disappointed but put it to the back of my mind. I was so surprised to hear from you a few days later, having tracked down a copy of the CD single in Australia! Thank you so much for your efforts, excellent customer service, above and beyond what I'd expect. The finished article was received in good time for Valentine’s Day ( although I have decided to hang onto it for our anniversary, as it’s so fantastic!) I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ve recommended you to family and friends. Thank you again. Alex”

“ My order was processed and shipped quickly and within a couple of days of ordering, it had arrived. It's a framed CD of our wedding first dance song, "Amazed" by Lonestar. I gave it to my husband Ian as a Valentines day gift and he was completely chuffed with it. Thank you very much and I will most definitely be buying more from you in the future as framed CDs and vinyl records make special, very personal gifts! ”

“ Many thanks for the wonderful framed 7" vinyl single of my favourite song "Another Brick in the Wall" by my favourite band Pink Floyd. It was given to me as a 50th birthday gift by my friend, Matt. It's perfect for my music corner and looks great on my "Wall" ( excuse the pun). He told me he sourced it from MyFirstRecord.co.uk and I simply wanted to message you personally to thank you for the brilliant workmanship and an altogether fantastic concept for a gift!! Best wishes, Craig”

“ Really pleased with the service which was quick with clear communication. I ordered late but my product was still delivered on time and I received confirmation that it had been despatched. Didn’t see the finished item as it went direct to the recipient, but they were delighted with it!! ”

“ I am very happy with my purchase. I got it as a Christmas gift for my husband and he was well chuffed. The quality is really good. It’s a very beautiful gift for a loved one. I haven't given a 5 star rating only because I received a transparent vinyl and I would’ve liked a classic black vinyl But it’s beautiful nonetheless. I really recommend this website. The customer care is amazing. ( **My First Record would like to point out that the designated song, "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd, is only available as a clear vinyl record but we completely understand the customer's aesthetic preference for black vinyl** ). ”

“ Hello Simon. I've received the framed vinyl record, Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. It arrived safely as it was extremely well packaged. I would like to say I'm thrilled and I'm sure my sister will be when she opens it on Christmas day. It is such a fitting and lasting tribute to our beloved brother on our first Xmas without him. Your customer service has been excellent and I would thoroughly recommend My First Record. Thank you so much. Kind Regards, Wendy Evans”

“ Absolutely delighted with the product ( a framed vinyl of Curtis Stigers' "You're All That Matters to Me", our wedding first dance song in 1993 ) which was presented in a very high quality and professional way. Also couldn't fault the service which was quick and professional with a personal touch. Many thanks Simon for creating a unique gift for my husband on the occasion of our silver wedding anniversary. ”

“ I received my framed CD presentation of Appetite for Destruction by Guns and Roses the day after it was dispatched. Brilliant quality, extremely well packaged and looks amazing on my living room wall. I met Duffy from GnR many years ago at a gig and he actually signed my ticket stub. I had it profesionally framed. I unfortunately lost it in a house fire many years later. I was heartbroken as it was one of my pride and joys. The empty space left behind on the wall was always a constant and sad reminder of my loss. To receive this framed Guns n Roses CD and have it sit pride of place in the spot its predecessor once hung feels amazing. Thank you. I would definitely recommend this product / service to all. A wonderful gift.”

“ Very happy we used this brilliant service for our film club annual awards. The outgoing chairman was awarded his favourite film ( I know how many runs you scored last summer ) as a framed DVD after a good season in the chair. Would thoroughly recommend. ”

“ I ordered for the first time a framed vinyl single as a gift to my husband on our wedding day ( our wedding first dance song, Penny Lover by Lionel Ritchie ). As it was my first order of this kind I reached out to My First Record for advice and help and I have to say the service I received was fantastic. I was given advice of what works best, examples of personalised plaques. The product arrived as promised and is a fantastic memento of our special day. Simon at My First Record kept me updated with my order as I was working to a tight timescale. Albeit the postage cost initially appeared expensive but it was completely justified when the frame arrived in one piece, with substantial protective packaging. I can't wait to order again. Regards, Bina”

“ Received my framed vinyl single one day after it was dispatched. It was so well packaged the postie could have played footie with it and it still would have arrived undamaged! The framed record is Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon which is my all time favourite James Bond theme song and it's now sitting pretty on my living room wall. Even my Mrs is happy for this piece of my Bond obsession to adorn one of her walls as it looks so classy! Great communications from Simon throughout and I will not hesitate to recommend My First Record to anyone and everyone. Thanks so much. I'll post a picture of it on your facebook page! Geoff”

“ I would like to say a massive thank you for the framed CD prize I won in your "The Song That Changed My Life" competition recently ( "Castles in the Sky" by Ian Van Dahl ). It's truly amazing and means the world to me as the song that signalled a new chapter in my life with a wonderful partner who became my saviour after years in an abusive relationship. I will be back on your website soon as want to put in an order for christmas for my parents. Much appreciated.”

“ I was thrilled to receive the framed vinyl single Dancing Queen by ABBA as a 30th wedding anniversary present from my husband. It was our wedding first dance song, but just seeing the framed record on the lounge wall also brings back fond memories of the school disco on a Friday lunchtime in the 1970's. Simply a great gift idea, designed to evoke happy memories”

“ I bought two framed CDs from Simon as a 1st wedding anniversary gifts for my my husband Russ. We were both delighted with them and would definitely buy again as they make great gifts for loved ones or for a treat for yourself ”
