Emma Perks is opening Spinning Around Records in Wellington this Saturday

Emma Perks, a 43-year-old vinyl collector living in Shrewsbury, is preparing to unveil her new store, Spinning Around Records, on Saturday.

All summer, Emma has been working to transform 31 New Street, Wellington - formerly Blondie's Cakery - into her dream record shopping experience.

Bright, airy and painted pastel blue, the store is a far cry from the image many have when they think of vinyl.

Of course, there's everything you'd expect, but Queen and Depeche Mode rub shoulders with Lady Gaga, Harry Styles, The 1975 and the Barbie film soundtrack.

"I'm a woman, I like pop music," Emma explained, "I wanted to do something different."
