A Cardiff record shop has got customers in a spin over its new release – its own branded turntable.

Spillers Records in Morgan Arcade has teamed up with hi-fi manufacturer Rega to mark Record Store Day, which is held across the UK on April 20.

Saturday's celebration of independent record shops will see thousands of music fans flocking to stores around the country to purchase exclusive new releases and witness performances from a host of up-and-coming local bands.

Record Store Day heralds a rise in vinyl sales and one of the reasons Spillers, the world’s oldest record store – founded in 1894, has produced a limited run of turntables.

“Our most asked question is, ‘where can I buy a record deck?’ – and given that our own vinyl sales have shown year on year increases for thirteen consecutive years we decided to produce the turntable,” explained Spillers Records’ Ashli Todd. “This deck is being produced in a limited run. 100 are being produced, then that’s it forever.

“We’re selling them for around £300 and they really are a great investment and a superb product from a great manufacturer.”

For Todd it looks like trade has come full circle since the famous Welsh store was first launched.

She added: “What is really nice is that when Spillers opened in 1984 the shop was selling phonographs and wax cylinders so it’s a lovely parallel with those early days.”

As part of the celebrations, the store will be hosting live music and DJs, then later on joinign foces with Kellys Records in Cardiff central market for an all-vinyl party at 10 Feet Tall in Cardiff.
