The Second45

Mike Savory and Mike Kennedy opened The Second 45 on Park Street in January 2023, combining retail experience with backgrounds in music broadcasting. The shop deals in new and pre-owned vinyl across genres, stocking CDs and cassettes alongside records and taking in customer collections in good condition to keep the racks turning over. It sits within easy walking distance of Llanelli town centre and trades Monday to Saturday, staying shut on Sundays. Beyond selling records, the shop hosts occasional in-store live performances, treating the shop as part of the town's music scene rather than a simple retail counter. It takes part in Record Store Day each year and handles online sales with in-store collection for customers who prefer to browse the racks in person before deciding. The layout rewards unhurried browsing, with staff on hand for recommendations.
