Description
Welcome to my vinyl auctions.
Over the coming months I will be listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast LP collection. The proceeds are going to his family.
Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click here.
I grade records conservatively, to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LP’s will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email address.
It’s a while since I’ve listed any LPs on ebay, but for a sample of the excellent feedback I received last time I did, please follow this link.
This month I’m listing the last of Brian’s ROLLING STONES records.

Further Notes: The comeback record for The Rolling Stones following Keith Richards’ drug bust in Toronto, this was the most important statement of return that the Stones could make; they were lean, hungry, and undaunted by the twin threats of punk and disco. This was the album they needed and had to make in order to retain their crown as the Greatest Rock Group on earth. With deluxe issues of this being released in the last year the rock crit regard of this record is that it is the last great LP the Stones as we knew them ever made.
What is on auction here is an LP carefully unsealed with the shrink-wrap in tact and played perhaps 4 times. The shrink has the hype sticker “Contains the single Miss You” and is the first version of the cover with Lucille Ball.
An early press of this record in it’s original cover and with the record itself in Mint condition and as it’s pressed by the Monarch record pressing company (the best one Atlantic ever used) and with mastering engineer Ted Jensen’s “TJ” initials on this, it is 1st pressing mastered directly from the tape as this LP was cut at Sterling Sound. In other words – as good as all analog can get, and the latest pressings are cut from CD quality not true analog, making this indispensable for the audiophile as well as the collector. Analog for vinyl or what is the point really when it comes to enjoying this band…and although the job done by ABKCO on the Decca Stones records is admirable, the Rolling Stones records era vinyl reissues are brittle and sterile at best. This is not one of those pressings. This is the real thing.
All records are cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and are ready to play – records are never playgraded until they are cleaned properly – that way an accurate grading can occur. All records are placed in new Nitty Gritty sleeves and if there is an original sleeve present it is contained in the package for completeness.
