My listings will include rare and not so rare but as vinyl is in such demand these days I'll be covering the whole spectrum as I firmly believe there is a market for everything. All records have been played through at least once (in order to give a true grading) on my REGA P1 turntable (which sounds superb!) , which I bought from my Leeds stockist, Audio Republic, details of which will be mailed out with the vinyl. I've got a huge stock of records at the moment so if there is anything you are after drop me an email or I can be seen on the Record Fair circuit!...next one is at BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB, Headingley/Hyde Park, LEEDS on SUNDAY 18th OCTOBER !! .if you love vinyl and don't attend fairs, shame on you!!!! The fairs currently on offer are superb and are far more pleasurable experience than sitting at home, trawling the internet for those shabby so called mint records. Rest assured, MINT means MINT (no marks/no scratches/no spindle marks/faultless vinyl/faultless sleeve)....and I'm not afraid to use the term VERY GOOD which, incidentally, does not mean trashed !!!! I'll be continually listing some great stuff so keep an eye out. 

NOTE....please look at my new ADJUSTED/REDUCED OVERSEAS POSTAL RATES at the bottom of the listing (due to the FREE UK postage ebay rule !!)

AND REMEMBER, MOST IMPORTANTLY, VINYL IS FOR PLAYING !!!!!!
