Eel Pie Records has issued a big thank you to its online customers but needs more support to help battle through the pandemic crisis.

The Church Street, Twickenham, vinyl record store has also been selling T-shirts and beer glasses and the enthusiastic response has encouraged the business to keep going.

In a short statement on the store's website, it says:"THANK YOU to those who have been buying records, t-shirts and beer glasses online so far over this difficult period.

"This is very encouraging for us...but we desperately need this to continue.

"We have added more and more stock online all the time including our high quality, curated collection of 2nd hand vinyl records. Over 3,000 LPs are now here to browse through

"We fully expect to survive this crisis. But your support will be vital.

"Please, if you can, buy an album or piece of merchandise from us. You can use the search box on the website to find what you're after.

"If there's an album you want that isn't available on our website, drop us an email.

"We may have it, there's loads we haven't listed yet, otherwise we'll do our best to get it. [email protected]

• We deliver FREE within a 2 mile radius of the shop, usually the same day.
• We send via Royal Mail 1st class for more distant customers.

"We will stay in touch with recommendations, special offers, playlists and who knows what else. We may even organise a virtual quiz!

"We send our love and best wishes to all. Stay Safe, Stay Healthy, Stay Home.

"We're going to have such a party when this is done!!"
