Item Description

Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don t miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950 s to early 2000 s, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

I will describe any flaws such as wear to sleeves, scuffs, marks or scratches to vinyl and describe them honestly, if you expect a better condition than I have listed then you need to learn to read.
I will grade based on visual inspection under artificial light.
PLEASE remember this is Vinyl...even brand new vinyl can have clicks and pops...that s part of its charm...if you want perfect audio without background noise...how about CD s or MP3 s? NO POSTAGE/SHIPPING TO ROMANIA With that said....many rarities will be listed, some fair condition some near mint.
