'I reviewed Victrola's Eastwood retro-inspired record player - and it's a great affordable option for beginners'

When it comes to tunes, I confess, I'm a bit of a slacker. I'm more likely to hit play on a Spotify playlist, shuffle the songs and let it do its thing than I am to listen to an entire album or select a band or artist that suits my mood.

But in the spirit of expanding my musical tastes and getting my mitts on my mum's retro vinyl collection I thought I'd see if a record player could push my self-imposed sound boundaries.The Victrola Eastwood II Oak Finish Record Player, priced at £195.20 on Amazon, seemed like the ideal pick.

It looks sleek and high-end, but doesn't come with too many extras that would baffle a music novice like me and I definitely made the right decision.
