I am selling a large range of vinyl records featuring a very wide variety of musical styles. They are all authentic original pressings, featuring quality music mostly from the 1970's and 1980's. They have all been very well cared for, though I will give an honest appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual items for sale so you can see exactly what you are bidding on. I always endeavour to highlight anything which I think that I would like to be made aware of before deciding to place a bid, so I do tend to grade critically.
All these records are thoroughly deep cleaned using a professionally constructed wet vacuum system using only the highest purity record cleaning fluid so the vinyl is all very clean, glossy and dust free. Everything listed is, at the very least, test played, though more often than not played right through on a quality deck and I apply extremely high standards to my vinyl and would never sell a record that I would not be perfectly happy to have in my own cherished record collection. In the case of rare or particularly interesting vinyls, I may list records which may fall short in some way of my usual standards, but this would always be clearly highlighted in the descriptions.
I visually inspect every record under very bright light using an inspection lamp.
A note regarding the most important matter of all - the audio - as with all vinyl, even straight out of the cellophane, there can be light crackle or very light 'pops' during the quiet passages. I have listened carefully, at the very least in part, to all these records, so I will highlight in the descriptions any aspects of the audio playback which I consider to be outside the parameters of the very high standards I apply to my own listening. Please be assured that I would never sell 'fried breakfasts', only high quality records.
All records will be supplied to you in a good quality clear outer wallet to protect your sleeve.

a-ha - their first two albums 'Hunting High And Low' from 1985 (matrix 1A / 1B - 'Alsdorf' pressing) and 'Scoundrel Days' from 1986 (1A / 1B - 'Alsdorf' pressing) in excellent condition.
The 'Hunting High And Low' vinyl is in lovely unmarked condition with only the lightest hairlines, if any, visible in bright light. The 'Scoundrel Days' vinyl is in excellent condition, with just a few very light superficial marks though these have no effect on the sound. I am listening to 'Scoundrel Days' as I type this, currently one of my favourite a-ha tracks - 'I've Been Losing You' and the audio is just superb, really crisp and clear and delivering that depth and richness that you just do not get with digital. 
The sleeves both have really nice artwork and photos and are both in excellent condition with nice sharp, square fully readable spines. Both albums have nice inner sleeves in excellent condition.
These are two absolutely superb albums which deservedly both rode very high in the charts back in the mid-1980's, and though the fabulous array of singles released from these two records are the most instantly accessible, and obviously most recognisable, songs, a-ha were very much a serious 'album' band, and both these records have really powerful yet widely varied songs from start to finish - none better than the amazing side 1 closing track - 'Manhattan Skyline' which I am currently listening to. There is no dead wood on these albums - just one fabulous track after another.
All in all these are two very nice copies of these classic albums from one of the most unmistakable bands of the 1980's and would make a great addition to your playing synth/rock playing vinyl collection.

I will send the records very thoroughly packaged in very good quality cardboard mailers with card stiffeners and with 'signed for' delivery which does cost an extra quid but I'll feel more confident that the records will safely arrive with you that way.
I will be listing lots of other very varied high quality records over the coming days and weeks and I have other listings currently running so please check out my other items for sale and thank you for looking.
