Vinyl,Record Shop,Spin It Records

The owner of Spin It Records, the oldest vinyl only record shop in the country, discusses the enduring popularity of vinyl and the growing interest from younger fans.

The owner of Spin It Records runs what’s thought to the country’s oldest vinyl only record shop. Steve, from Hatfield, who has a stall on Hull’s Trinity Market, discovered at school that vinyl could be a good business. “I was 13 and I had a single, Kung Fu Fighting, and one of my class friends wanted it – he offered me three Elvis singles and two posters for the single. I thought there was a business to be had here.

'People think their stuff is worth more than it is 90 per cent of the time,” he says. “There’s only about 10 per cent that’s worth anything.” So what would he most like to get his hands on? “It would be nice to get a copy of the Sex Pistols God Save The Queen on the A&M label.” All but a handful of the 25,000 singles were destroyed after the label ditched the rebellious punk rockers days after signing them.
