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

Customer service at its best!

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.

Stuart, thank you for your wonderful testimonial.......It's very rewarding to learn that a customer is as enamoured with the service almost as much as the product itself!!

Lovely personal gift and great keepsake

Emailed with some questions before I purchased and Simon was very prompt and informative in his response. He kept in constant contact throughout with order updates.
There was a delay due the record being imported but it was definitely worth the wait. It was a present for our 16 year old son, such a personal gift and great keepsake.
Would definitely recommend

Thank you Lyndsey. I'm sure Sonny will always treasure that rare 7" vinyl single as "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" by Pink Floyd is such an iconic song, but then I am totally biased as I am a big "Floyd Fan"!!

If you're looking for a special gift…

If you're looking for a special gift this company is to coin a phrase 'simply the best'. I received excellent personal service which was prompt, with good communication throughout. My chosen gift came extremely well packaged and delivered earlier than expected. The recipient loved it! Don't go anywhere else!

Excelent quality, great customer service!

Excellent product and first class service!
Simon emailed me from the purchase to the delivery, advising me and keeping me posted on every update.
The record arrived very well packaged and looks fabulous!
I bought it as a gift for my boyfriend and he was absolutely thrilled!
I'll definitely use MyFirstRecord again and will be recommending them to others also.
Thank you so much, Simon!

Very happy with my purchase from…

Very happy with my purchase from myfirstrecord. I ordered the framed record with a metal plaque as a present for my sister to celebrate her first dance wedding song. The company was quick to respond to any questions I had before my purchase. The product itself looked professional and was well-liked by my sister.

Thank you Nicholas. Very pleased to have the opportunity to enshrine your sister's happy memories in a frame

Faultless

Another great experience. Simon’s attention to detail is immaculate and whilst the Record is a present, you’d almost think it’s a present that Simon is giving someone he cares about too, such is his attention to detail.
That the second time I’ve used Simon for this purpose and won’t hesitate to both use him again and recommend him too.

Thank you Eddy. I'm not familiar with the custom of the Father / Daughter dance at a wedding. Is that the second dance after the official wedding first dance between bride & groom?

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Almost Perfect

Great idea, executed well. Simon was very helpful, and kept me up to date as things were progressing. Only thing I would mention that wasn't great, is that the frame arrived without the back secured properly. I almost broke it trying to bend the metal clasps to hold the back on. But that only took 15 mins of tinkering with it. Other than that, great experience overall

Sorry to hear that Kerry but MFR would just like to point out that the back of the frame is designed to have a bit of play in it in the event it is manhandled / dropped in transit. Otherwise, without that latitude for the clasps to pop open if dropped, the frame would be too rigid & risk breaking if dropped

Outstanding service

I want the geniune article when I buy gifts and I wasn't disappointed. The vinyl and engraving really stood out from the others available online. The service was excellent (even at the tipping point of another lockdown) and arrived promptly and extremely well packaged. The recipient was so impressed, he immediately wanted to order for his parents upcoming anniversary. I would highly recommend.

Incredible product and service! Ordered a framed record as a leaving present for a friend, and he was beyond happy with what he received! Customer service from Simon was amazing, he was extremely helpful in sourcing the record and everything was put together very quickly. Thank you Simon!

Great Service

I stumbled across this website when I was looking for a gift for my Brother's 60th Birthday. As I live in Australia, I was looking for something online that could be delivered in time to the UK. I have not personally seen the finished product however, my Sister tells me it is a lovely gift. I have no doubt my Brother will love it. Very prompt service and communication from Simon.
Thank you.

I was a winner with My First Record

I stumbled across My First Record on Facebook. They made some great competitions for followers to enter and I won one of them. With no cost to me, Simon posted my prize soon after the result. My framed John Lennon single looks amazing. It is professional quality and includes a small engraved plaque to record my achievement at winning the competition. If they are prepared to go to this much care and effort to make a framed record that they are not getting paid for, I would think that anyone who intends to buy from them will get at least the same high quality for their money.

Thank you Ian. You were a worthy winner of our #JohnLennon80 competition - your argument for nominating "Mother" by John Lennon was particularly compelling!!

Great Unique Gift

My dad gave me all his old vinyls so as a way of saying thank you, I had one of his favorite albums framed., 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 MyFirst record again.

1st Prize Competition - "My Favorite James Bond Song"

This is my first review for this fabulous company from which I had the honor of winning a competition on they held on Facebook, "My Favorite James Bond Song"

The service and communication has been first class from the get go. A great experience too was had during the competition as I had the opportunity of sharing an old memory and experience from 30 odd years ago, and with that won me 1st prize being this awesome frame with a 7" vinyl record of Shirley Bassey's Diamond Are Forever along with a fabulous engraved plaque at the bottom.

Great quality frame, and great follow up service. If you want your favorite vinyl putting in a frame for a gift or memento... here is your first and only stop!

You will not be disappointed ;)

Good quality work and customer service

My partner has just recently had her first ever book published so I asked MyFirstRecord to frame her book cover with a plaque.
I received a call from Simon within minutes of sending the request. Due to the fact that the book was just released and would therefore cost a bit more to acquire, he needed to ask me to pay a surcharge. I appreciated his honesty and his demeanour so had absolutely no problem paying the additional £10 requested.

Despite COVID, the package arrived in good time and my partner loved it. Good quality work and customer service.

My partner had recently lost both her…

My partner had recently lost both her parents, they had particular songs that meant a lot to her and them.
After some internet research I found this company - on the basis that they used "original" records...so I gave it a go... not cheap ..but really pleased with the products that look classy and have been well mounted. I found the customer service to be great - a personal email from the team explaining how long etc.
I will say that im a normal punter not connected with this firm, didn't get any discount, so this is a genuine review, yes I would recommend they make an excellent keep sake, give them a go

Thank you Mark. I'm pleased to hear that both framed records will act as a fitting tribute to your partner's parents. Btw, just for the record ( if you'll pardon the unintentional pun! ), there was a small discount of £12-50 on the second order ( so the shipping cost was subsidised by 50% ).
