Background: Most of the records I have listed for sale are from my personal collection of almost 300 albums & 80 singles purchased during the late 1970s through mid 1980s. A few albums must have been given to me along the way too. Most will be classic rock or pop music. The records have been stored in record crates inside the house to prevent any issue with the elements like water and dirt or temperature, so they are in pretty good condition, although some were played much more than others!

Each record has been cleaned with a record cleaner, but I have a lot of static issues here, so dust, etc come back pretty quick. I’ve done my best to review each record as well as possible and describe any flaws I can see.  Records are all play tested to see if there are any issues likes skips or sounds. Please check out the photos although I’ve struggled to capture great photos of the vinyl due to the dark reflective surface so I have tried to be very descriptive and checked each record very carefully in good lighting.

Coming from a smoke free home, records will be shipped by media mail, primarily in special vinyl record shipping boxes. I am happy to combine shipping to the extent possible if you purchase multiple items. Please contact me for any questions and review my photos.
