WEST WORCESTERSHIRE MP Harriett Baldwin has offered her support to a small Malvern-based business which is helping to fuel the desire for vinyl records.
Carnival Records, based of Church Street in Malvern, sells a wide range of new and old vinyl music recordings including original versions of Beatles albums.
The MP dropped in to talk to owner Chris Heard about the challenges of running a small high street retail business.
The shop was named one of the best record shops ‘in the world’ by a national newspaper. The Financial Times listed the store alongside counterparts in London, New York, Paris, Barcelona, Sydney, Copenhagen and Lisbon.
Dame Harriett said: “Vinyl doesn’t feel like it went away and I’ve been in Chris’s shop a few times to pick up treasured items.
“The shop has a great vibe and I know how popular it is amongst its dedicated band of supporters.
“It was helpful to talk to Chris about the challenges he has faced running a small retail business and his insights were really useful.”
