Vinylux Vintage Vinyl Bowl Reviews

Not many products can help make dreams reality but this one comes close... last night I got fruity with Stevie Nicks!! Initially i was resistant to this product due to the fact that actual label one receives is a pure lottery, but I finally succumbed (reasoning that a bit of randomness in the pervading climate of increasing choice might be cool) and was rewarded for my faith by Fleetwood Mac’s TUSK.
Since it’s arrival this product has proved a fascinating conversation piece- and many trips down memory lane have been undertaken. I’d forgotten just how ‘real’ records sounded when browsed in the racks – none of that harsh clicking of CD case against CD case as the choice was made (even this clicking is probably destined for nostalgia land soon as the mouse clicking of downloads grows and grows) – an unexpected but extremely welcome side effect of my quest to live more sustainably.
The only real downside to this bowl is I never really want to put too much inside it for fear that the label is totally obscured – hence I’ve wasted a fair bit of time attempting to arrange / balance fruit so as not to spoil my preferred view of the product – but that’s probably just me!

The bowl attracted admiration from my work colleagues for its originality when I showed it off to them prior to giving it as a Christmas present to my husband (always difficult to buy for) who was also impressed. Since he could be described as a musical snob I was a bit nervous as to the record I'd get but he seemed happy enough with Tony Bennet's Love Story. It's just been decorative so far, it seems quite light so I'm a bit worried about breaking it. I'm certainly not sure it's strong enough for a fruit bowl but it earns its keep by novelty value rather than functionality anyway.

I thought immediately of my nephews upcoming birthday when I saw this item. So I purchased one and it came the following day which was excellent service. I have to say I was a little disappointed that it wasn't a "trendy" title (it was a classical LP), and was worried that my nephew wouldn't like it as he is a music producer and re-mixer. I needn't have worried though as he has just rung to say how much he loves it and that it is now in his studio.
So 9 out of 10 on this item. It would've been 10/10 if perhaps there was a choice of titles. In the event however, it didn't make the gift any less brilliant for my nephew, so the job's a good 'un.
Many thanks for a unique great present idea :-)
