Welcome to my collection of original vinyl from the 60's, 70's and 80's including some rare Prog, Classic Rock Reggae and Punk. This is my personal collection, mostly purchased at the time of release including many FIRST PRESSINGS with the original  sleeves, inners and inserts. The vinyl has been in careful storage, upright for nearly 30 years and at the time was carefully played on a high-end audiophile system. I have tried to grade as accurately as possible using the Rare Record Collector's guide.  If you would like any more information or photos just email me. Please have a look at my other listings, I am happy to combine postage.
