Selling off my vinyl record collection. Celebrating 40 years in the music industry in 2024 covering all basis especially retail & promotion. I bought most of these from new or mint 2nd hand copies. I have carefully curated my collection and each LP has been looked after with the utmost care and attention during ownership. Japanese pressings have been a favourite passion of mine, along with limited audiophile pressings so expect to see a lot of these as the listings evolve. The collection is mostly 70s & 80s hard kock / heavy metal with a large smattering of 80s pop, some blues and country more jazz and a hint of progy leftfield stuffThis is just the beginning but with 1000,s to list keep checking back.

The copy and all you see in the pics is what you will receive. I'm using camera lighting, and this will show up absolutely every hairline and blemish. When you view it under normal lighting or daylight it will look far superior. I'm surprised myself at some of the '60s and early 70's LPs that have excellent playback yet will look aged under this harsh lighting but at least you will see exactly what you are buying - I'm not in the habit of covering up any defects, it only disappoints you and me.

Your LP will be sent in a new heavy gauge LP polythene sleeve with the vinyl placed in an inner bag behind the sleeve to ensure that there will be no 'seam splitting' of the cover in transit. I only use Music Max strong boxes with the same brand extra strong 12" cardboard stiffeners and place the box in a waterproof PVC cover. For more expensive vinyl I use the Music Max QP2 or Twists for that extra padding. I aim to process and post orders on  the same or next day of purchase.

I take every effort to ensure the vinyl sold on here is accurately pictured & described, I try to include close-up pics of imperfections on the vinyl and these parts are always play-tested before listing. If you are thinking of purchasing an expensive item I can listen on request. I play-test with high end, turntables, arms& cartridges.

I never knowingly sell a vinyl that skips or jumps! If it jumps it goes in the bin not on sale!

The exceptions are very rare high-end vinyl. Occasionally I will offer an expensive vinyl that, due to the scarcity of that release, may be of inferior quality. I always fully re-play-test these items and write a description of the audio play-back. This is the only time you will see my vinyl listed as in the Fair - Good category everything else listed as Vey Good and above I expect these to play though without major issues, after all they did when I bought them.  If your vinyl does not meet your expectations I offer a return-refund policy...... and of course every purchase has Ebay's money back guarantee.

I use the Record Collector guide to condition grading. Please see table below for a guide to how your vinyl should look & play...

If you have an issue with any of my products or service, please contact me so I may resolve it as quickly & efficiently as I can. Thank You.
