We list in many cases, 'Archived' & 'mint' condition items, we are able to source from private collections all over the UK. So we hope you can be put at ease that what you are bidding on is of the highest quality.

We play through most of the records, unless the item is clearly mint, or sealed..in which case we don't play them, thus maintaining their 'unplayed' status!  Obviously with some of these rare items there will be the odd 'anomoly' along the way , the odd little static pop or lead in 'sizzle' for a split second.. nothing is perfect we find! all systems differ, but we aim to describe these as accurately as possible for you.... PLEASE ENJOY THIS ITEM YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT..

Just one example from this staggering collection we are offering..

Both vinyls shows  ONE  spider line around the centre holes

No wear to the holes at all

Both vinyls IS SUPER GLOSSY AND BRIGHT  with just some TINY FEINT  whisp  - it is quite amazing how this record set has been preserved like this since it was pressed!

The LP set has NO REAL static we could hear and nothing else in play of any note anywhere at all. Just the very occasional little static sizzle that could be remedied with a professional hoover cleaner. NO POPS STICKS OR JUMPS

IT PLAYS SUPERB THROUGHOUT!!! AND A WONDERFUL LISTEN
