I have been buying and selling records for 50 years. As both a radio and club DJ my record collection is vast but I am selling my collection now before I get too old and cannot be bothered.  I have described each record and feel this is a true reflection of the condition of it and I can guarantee I have played both sides of it a few days prior to it being advertised. 

The photographs were taken in May 2024.  Any queries, please get in touch and I ALWAYS combine postage and offer a refund of any overpaid postage. Records are sent by Royal Mail 2nd Class Large Letter rate in a strong card backed envelope and are also wrapped in bubble wrap. 

Go on, revive those memories !!!

Best wishes

Peter Tong
