Playing our part in the vinyl revival...

Vinyl sales continue to rocket. It's probably mostly down to us, right? Well, we're playing our part.

So it’s now getting on for two months that we’ve had the shop up and running. Seems like only yesterday. From the start we knew that we’d be improving and learning as we went and so it’s proved.

Firstly, access is no longer through the house! Clearly this was never ideal and was only ever a temporary plan. Now resolved. A little juggling of the sheds has opened access down the side of the house. As always, please ring the doorbell if the gate is closed. This isn’t to keep you out, but to the keep the Plectrum’s hound, Hector, in.

Secondly, we didn’t have a turntable in the shop. You’re in for a treat now! We’ve got a demo table of the Rega RP1’s that we also sell. These fantastic pieces of kit have scored 5 star reviews across the board. Up and running virtually straight out of the box, with plenty of scope for even further improvements down the line. You’re welcome to hear anything in the shop. There’s also a pair of headphones available.

Stock wise, as with our online side, things are constantly moving. Behind the scenes we’re always sourcing new records. This is the most challenging and rewarding aspect of running the shop. Online we sell Internationally with records having gone to  an astounding 43 countries so far this year.

Somewhere in the world there’s always going to be a vinyl head after pretty much any record we stock. In the shop we’re getting a joyfully diverse mix too. We’re listening to what you’re after so we can keep giving a fix to the local vinyl junkies…

Finally, we’ve hooked up with another excellent company to supply us with quality cartridges, phono stages and accessories. We’ll be making an announcement shortly.

Once again, a huge thank you to all those who’ve supported us. Particularly those regular customers who have been spreading the word. Social Media is great, but nothing beats word of mouth!

Cheers Matt.

Opened with a bang...

Well, it’s been a week that will live long in our memory. The metaphorical ribbon was cut and doors opened to the shop on Saturday 18th October 2014. We’re open for business.

Launching any new business is always going to jangle some nervous. Those were settled swiftly by the presence of customers. Thanks so much to all that showed up on Saturday and through the week. Your support has been fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The original idea was to have a soft launch, just inviting our Facebook followers. Resisting everything but temptation, I pinged off a press release to a few radio stations and some music websites. And then it exploded!

A couple of interviews on BBC Radio Cambs, a shout from Tom Ravenscroft on BBC 6 Music followed and a feature on Fab Radio. The NME rang a story on us and the snowball ran away. You can view some articles if so inclined…

We’re open Monday to Saturday. Come and say hello, have a cuppa and hit up the racks. The shop might be small, but we’ve packed in several 1,000 gorgeous slabs of vinyl.

Cheers, Matt. x

Press Release 21 October 2014

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New Vinyl Record Shop Opens In Peterborough

This week has seen the opening of a new vinyl record shop in Walton, Peterborough. Marrs Plectrum Records claims to be the smallest record shop in the UK.

The owner, Matthew Hawton, says that “ for many of us, vinyl has never been away  but its popularity is certainly on the rise. So far this year 844,122 vinyl albums have been sold compared to 829,243 for the whole of 2013. It’s an exciting time for record collectors.”

The shop stocks vinyl across all genres. “I think that it’s important that we satisfy all tastes. It’s not just about the records that your mum and dad played. New and relevant bands are all releasing their music on vinyl again. It’s at the point where the pressing plants can’t keep up with demand.  That’s why we’re mixing new releases with the classics and collectables.”

“Many people believe in that beautiful, warm analogue sound that vinyl has.  The little ritual you go through dusting the record, dropping the needle, examining the incredible artwork. Digital just doesn’t compete. More than that though, playing a vinyl record becomes the thing you do. It’s just you and the music. It’s so easy to get distracted by other things these days. Nothing beats it.”

The new shop is actually situated in the owners garden. Matthew explains that “it was simply impossible to open a shop in the town centre. This way we can keep the costs down which is great for our customers.  I can’t complain about the commute to work either.

The shop is open Monday to Friday 10.00AM to 4.00PM and Saturdays 11.00AM to 2.00PM. There are several thousand 7”, 12” and LP’s available, both brand new and collectable.  They also sell turntables and accessories and offer professional record cleaning services.
