We create with intention. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.
We obsess over the details and strive to deliver the best products at the best prices, every time.
We're always on your side: keeping our loyal customers happy is our top priority and number one goal.
Our first series is 'Vinyl Ghosts', and they are handmade collectibles designed to sit on your turntable spindle.
With a little care, they should last a long time and continue to look great alongside your records.
Place your Vinyl Ghost gently onto the turntable spindle. It should sit comfortably without needing force.
Vinyl Ghosts are designed to sit on the spindle only and should not touch the grooves of your record. When used correctly, they will not affect sound quality.
Because each piece is handmade, the fit may vary slightly. If the fit feels tight, do not force it. Gentle placement is always best.
Vinyl Ghosts are designed to fit standard turntable spindles (7mm diameter), which are used by most modern record players.
They sit on the spindle and do not come into contact with the record surface.
If your turntable has a dust cover, you may prefer to remove the Vinyl Ghost before closing to prevent the cover coming into contact with the Vinyl Ghost.
Vinyl Ghosts are small handmade objects and should be handled with care.
Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces, as this may cause damage.
Keep away from excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as very high temperatures may cause changes over time.
Store somewhere safe when not in use, especially if transporting your turntable or equipment.
Dust can be removed using a soft dry cloth or a very soft brush.
Avoid water, alcohol, or chemical cleaning products, as these may affect the finish.
If needed, gently wipe with a dry microfiber cloth.
Each Vinyl Ghost is handmade individually. Small variations in shape, surface texture, or paint are part of the character of the piece and make each one unique.
Vinyl Ghosts are collectible objects and are not toys.
Handle with care and keep away from very young children.
Mostly questions nobody ever asked...
Carousel Club is a collectible brand built around vinyl culture. We design playful, physical objects that sit somewhere between art, music and everyday ritual - starting with Series 001 - Vinyl Ghosts.
Vinyl Ghosts are our first drop - small collectible figures designed to sit on the spindle of your turntable. Each one is handmade and part of a 'blind-box' series, meaning you won’t know which one you’ve got until you open it.
Yes - every Vinyl Ghost comes in a sealed blind box* (*which is actually a can)
That means the design you receive is random. No picking, no peeking.
Hi, I'm Jamie... UK-born 30-something living in The Netherlands. Carousel Club was created by a joint obsession of blind box culture, vinyl records and making anything and everything out of clay! And I wanted to bring something physical, playful and collectible into a world that’s increasingly digital.
Each Vinyl Ghost is handmade in small batches - starting with a ball of clay. Shaped, sanded, primed and finished with spray paints and splatters!
Because of this, slight variations and imperfections are part of what makes each one unique.
New series, new colours and future collaborations are already in the works.
Once a series is gone, it may not return - so if you like something, don’t wait too long.
All Vinyl Ghosts are handmade in The Netherlands.

Yes - Vinyl Ghosts are designed to sit on the spindle and do not touch the grooves of your record. They are safe to use while playing records.
For best results, handle with care and avoid forcing the fit. See our Care Guide for more tips.
Vinyl Ghosts are designed to fit standard turntable spindles. We have tested rigorously on a majority of brands, all of which have been compatible. If you'd like us to confirm this for your specific player - let us know the make, model and ideally the spindle height and we'll happily double check for you!
For first use, gently place it on top to ensure it fits okay.
No - Vinyl Ghosts sit on the spindle and do not touch the grooves of your record, so they won’t affect playback or sound quality (tested rigorously).
They also do not carry enough to weight to replicate any type of sound improvements like numerous heavyweight vinyl weights/clamps claim to do.
Yes. When used correctly and with care, Vinyl Ghosts will cause no damage to your record player or records themself.
Each one is hand finished so the hole is tapered and smooth and the bottom is sanded and smoothed.
Each figure is handmade, starting life as a ball of clay, then sanded, primed, spray painted and finished with a gloss and protective varnish.
Possibly. Each Vinyl Ghost is part of the blind-box concept and experience, so duplicates can happen especially when ordering multiple.
For those ordering 4 or less, we'll aim to ensure there are no duplicates.
The rare variant has odds of 1 in 20 (a 5% chance). The remaining 'blind boxes' contain one of the four standard variants, which have an equal 1 in 4 chance of being pulled (23.75% chance).
Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know by sending us an e-mail at hello@carousel-club.com and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right.

This is something we don't like to hear but it can happen. Please let us know as soon as possible by e-mailing us at hello@carousel-club.com as well as referring to our policy page on returns, refunds and damages.
Vinyl Ghosts are sold as blind boxes, meaning each design is randomly packed. Duplicates can happen, especially when ordering multiple - although if you're ordering 4 or less, we'll ensure that no duplicates occur.
Please see our Returns Policy for full details.
We accept returns on unopened items within the applicable return window. Opened blind boxes cannot be returned or exchanged unless the item is faulty or incorrect.
