After our initial set up as a 'pop up' shop within The Keep we are now enjoying our second year back in Market Place where we were many years ago before we closed in 2006 .

Thankfully, due to the amazing resurgence of records and local support, we are well and truly back selling the platters that matter.

Not only are we selling to the Wallingford public we have a monthly 'pop up' at Cornerstone in Didcot with plans to spread ourselves around Oxfordshire and Berkshire in 2018.

So do look out for us and don't hesitate to invite us to your town.

Alongside our retail, online and wholesale enterprise, I'm looking forward to DJing at various festive parties on the run-up to Christmas.

Many birthdays, weddings, office parties are already booked and look forward to seeing many familiar faces on the dancefloor.

As I write, we are pricing up new-release vinyl and collectible secondhand ready for the weekend ahead.

Jazz singer Gregory Porter has a new release singing the songs of Nat King Cole: it truly is a wonderful album I thoroughly recommend it.

Set the scene... chestnuts roasting on an open fire, a glass of vino rosso and Gregory's smooth jazz vocals.

Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher released his debut solo album and became the biggest selling vinyl in 20 years for week one sales.

Will his brother Noel have the same success with his new album in November?

This year brought us other massive vinyl sellers: The Beatles released a 50th anniversary edition of Sgt Pepper and Ed Sheeran's hit-filled album Divide will be one of the biggest sellers of the year alongside Killers, Foo Fighters, Paul Weller and Morrissey.

George Michael once shopped at The Music Box: he spent an hour talking to me about music and his record contract. Seeing the recent documentary on TV reminded me of his visit. Listen Without Prejudice has now been re-issued – a reminder of what an amazing talent he was.

Talking of TV, The usual onslaught of TV personalities have albums out aimed at Christmas – Alexander Armstrong, Michael Ball and Alfie Boe, Jason Manford and Bradley Walsh amongst others.

Not only do we sell vinyl but the portable record player is as popular as ever.

We have a fine selection to choose from as well as CDs, T-shirts, headphones, vinyl storage boxes, posters – all here ready for that last-minute Christmas present.
