Record shopping at Christmas

One of the things that i love about Christmas, from a business perspective is that i get to see a great upsurge in orders from around the world and for the most varying styles of music. People picking up records for relatives, possibly that they listened to together as children or that hold another special bond between themselves and a loved one.

Christmas is a special time for gift-giving, and buying records for a loved one can be a wonderful idea as it shows a lot of thought and understanding of the person that they are. Music for me has a magical way of bringing joy and a feeling of nostalgia on so many levels.

When choosing records as a Christmas present, consider the recipient’s musical taste and preferences. Think about their favorite artists, genres, or even specific albums they might have mentioned before. Whether it’s a classic record from their favorite band or an album from a new and upcoming artist they’ve been wanting to explore, the options are endless.

To make it even more special, online platforms such as Ebay are full of limited edition or collector’s editions of their favorite albums. These will often come with extra features such as exclusive artwork, bonus tracks, or even signed copies, adding an element of uniqueness to the gift.

Remember, the joy of giving is in seeing the delight on your loved one’s face when they unwrap their present. So, take the time to select a record that truly reflects their musical taste and let the music bring them joy and happiness.

Today in record sales

Today i saw a great upsurge in what i spoke about above, the “Christmas Purchase” I am a great believer in adding pretty much every record of every style onto the website. I’ll leave the niche music market to other stores. Mickey Marley’s Roundabout was released back in 1980 and is the happy folk song story of a travelling fairground that did the rounds back in simpler times for Belfast. I’m almost certain that this was purchased as a very thoughtful stocking filler for a slightly older relative.

Along with some specialist Christmas LPs and seasonal music, today saw great sales in the big obvious classic dance tracks. I also suspect that a lot of these were also for presents.

Young DJs love the vinyl

Vinyl mixing has experienced a great resurgence among young DJs in recent years. Despite the convenience and portability of digital music formats, many aspiring DJs are drawn to the unique and authentic sound of vinyl. The tactile experience of selecting and spinning records on turntables adds an element of artistry and nostalgia to their performances. Vinyl also allows DJs to explore a vast sea of musical treasures, uncovering forgotten gems and rare releases that are not easily found in digital libraries. This renewed interest in vinyl signifies a deeper appreciation for the physicality of music and a desire to celebrate the rich history of DJ culture.

Until tomorrow folks, have a lovely evening.
