“ If ever you wanted an example of excellent personal customer service, this is it. I initially went on a search for something unique for a birthday gift, and something with meaning. The idea of having a link to a piece of music in itself can create an emotional tie, but to have that be the No.1 from the day your were born, and on vinyl, makes it really quite special. From the choice of product to delivery, the process was flawless. Add to that the personal contact from the vendor and you have confidence in your purchase. The finished product itself is beautifully done, with the vinyl single being securely mounted and framed. The engraved plaque adds that hugely personal touch with a message of your choice. And that makes the whole thing unique. My thanks to Simon for not only supplying a quality product, but for his exemplary service and making me feel like a valued customer from day one. I have already placed a second order for another special family birthday. ***The record in question was "Oh What a Night" by the Four Seasons***”

“ My dad gave me his old vinyl collection record recently, so as a way of saying thank you, I had one of his favourite albums, Led Zep II, framed in CD format. He absolutely loved it and as its such a unique gift, it will be a treasured as well as being a talking point for some time to come. A memory for his memories. Will absolutely buy from My First Record again.”

“ What an absolutely superb service. From first interaction to final delivery to....a wonderful after-sales call too. A perfect interaction with a fabulous brand committed to quality. We paid for the framing of an original 7" vinyl single for a christening gift. It was perfect. Thank you Thank you Thank you. Top marks all round. ”

“ This was a thank you gift for my Dad. He absolutely loves it. I absolutely love it, everyone absolutely loves it. Such a unique gift idea, genius! I'll be getting more like this! ***Liam got his Dad a framed cassette tape of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John to replace his Dad's cassette tape of it, which he recorded over years ago when he was a teenager....What's not lost on MyFirstRecord is the irony that he still can't play his copy of "GYBR"....Taped over before; now superglued to a backboard!!***”

“ Exactly what I wanted, quality product, very quick service, seller kept me updated on progress, and checked areas where my order wasn't clear. Highly recommended”

“ Have just completed my order with Simons help. Excellent customer service. Simon was so helpful. He was patient and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you for a pleasant shopping experience. ***Thank you Mary, especially for your patience! We literally went the extra mile ( or should I say kilometre! ) to import the vinyl record from France but I'm pleased you felt the slight delay was worth it.*** ”

“ A few years ago I bought a gift from a competitor that just had a generic record in a frame with the title of a song written underneath. What I like about My First Record, is that your framed records are much more personal. I like that your company use an actual record of the song I wanted and not some bland replica with no life or history! You can't beat the real thing! ”

“ Wonderful. Ordered my vinyl single Golden Brown by the Stranglers for my sister in Australia. She has recently lost her husband and this was a favourite song for them both. Simon was first class from start to finish, even hand delivering to me as I lived close to him. Will be ordering again for sure. *** Michael, I hope the framed Stranglers vinyl single is a constant fitting reminder to your sister of all her "golden times" with her beloved husband *** ”

“ Absolutely delighted with the framed record of our wedding song and Simon was a pleasure to deal with. Wanted something unique as a gift for our 20th wedding anniversary and this was perfect. He was in constant communication and so friendly. The framed record and engraving on the accompanying plaque was perfect and it takes pride of place in our living room. Thanks so much Simon. ***Anna-Maria's designated song was "Always and Forever" by Heatwave***”

“ I was so excited to receive my framed record, it's the perfect gift for a music lover. It will have pride of place in my home, such a thoughtful present. I will treasure it forever. If anyone is thinking of a unique gift I highly recommend myfirstrecord. ”

“ From placing the order to receiving the product, Simon was just fantastic. Everything was checked, double checked and checked again. Simon even got in touch to ask if he could alter the layout to make my present (for the Wife) look better aesthetically. You really couldn't ask for a better service or a better company to deal with and my profession is dealing with suppliers. If you are reading this review wondering if you should continue with your purchase, please don't wonder anymore. Press the 'complete purchase' button you will not be disappointed. Kind Regards Mr Hill ”

“ Dear reader, when my order was delivered to my wife and I here in the Netherlands, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality and authenticity of our framed record order from MyFirstRecord. We ordered "In a lifetime" by Clannad and Bono, which is our wedding song. We are very happy with it and this little work of art will have a special place in our house. MFR is highly recommended as a supplier of beautiful gifts for every music lover. The whole world should know that we are grateful to MFR, hence this review. *** Thank you "Hans in the Hague" for your lovely review. Thankfully the package finally escaped Dutch customs after seemingly ages & you received the order in your "lifetime"!! ***”

“ Hi Simon. Just letting you know I gave my sister her framed record gift last weekend and she was so pleased. Her face said it all. It meant so much to her. Thank you for all your help and the attention to detail. You are a credit to your company. Regards, Kerrin ***Thank you Kerrin. Thanks for the compliment too and although it is in fact my company, it is nevertheless pleasing to hear and a relief to know I won't have to sack myself!! *** ”

“ Excellent customer service, prompt and responsive, and Simon managed my expectations well and kept me regularly updated. Bought as a gift and the recipient was delighted with the quality. Simon also went to the additional effort of changing the name plate colour to one of my choice. Can highly recommend. *** Thank you Sarah. I'm pleased to learn that the recipient, Matilda, loved it as much as you, the donor! ***”

“ I received a wonderfully framed original vinyl 45 of The Love Affair - Everlasting Love for my best friend's birthday present. She was absolutely thrilled and over the moon with it and it now has pride of place on her wall at home. We all have that favourite song that brings back special memories for us & I can't think of a better way to recall that memory. The service I received from Simon was spot on and I can't thank him enough. If you're looking for something a little bit different, then a gift from MyFirstRecord.co.uk is the answer. First-class!”
