All of my LPs come from the personal record collection of a 20+ year London Records Executive
who worked for the label in New York City during the 60s, 70s, and through 'til the mid- to late-80s.
My uncle and I inherited his entire vinyl collection, which is vast and filled with a wide range of artists and genres spanning some 30-40 years. His position at London Records allowed him access to a handful of exclusive test presses and rare first press editions of many U.S. releases.
