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 first record on The Rolling Stones self named record label, this is a landmark achievement in rock and roll and in their development as a band. The first LP with Mick Taylor as lead guitarist, it was recorded during 1969 and late 1970.
The initials T.M.L. (The Mastering Lab) are handwritten on both sides as is the name of the company “Rolling Stones Records”. This indicates that this is from the original master from The Mastering Lab in Los Angeles (where it was initially mastered) and is the 4th stamper to make this pressing on both sides.
There have been countless reissues of this LP many times (with the worst being esteemed mastering engineer Bob Ludwig’s 1999 version – sabotaged by the record company so badly he sold his lathes and stopped cutting records entirely) and although the plates emanate from the US it is the care of the UK pressing facilities that allow the true sound of the tapes to be stamped into vinyl. (let’s not even talk about the MFSL version – Rock without the Roll)
This is the best pressing of this record you will find. It sounds superb and plays near mint throughout with a small modicum of surface noise here and there. The record is blemish-less and there is no spindlewear. Sleeve is near mint with only a small amount of mild edge wear.
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.
