Our love of music
Welcome to For the record vinyl, where the timeless magic of analogue sound comes alive. Discover our passion for vinyl records and the unique experience we offer to every music lover.
Story beginnings
Our story began in the early 1970's with the exposure to my fathers love of Rock and Roll, Rockabilly and Country music. By the age of 12, an extensive collection had developed, now also featuring a passion for Rock, Blues, Jazz and other genres.
With 35 years experience of buying and selling records at car boot sales; record fairs and latterly online, leading to the opening of our "Old Skool Record Shop".
Situated at Stall 10, Pontypool indoor market, we always welcome personal visitors.
At Fortherecordvinyl, we believe there's nothing quite like dropping the needle on a perfectly pressed record. It's more than just listening; it's an experience, a connection to the artists and their craft.
