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, really thoroughly test played, (a bare minimum of at least 4-5 tracks) though almost always played right through both sides 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 very 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 sleeves.

Santana - 3 x original vinyl albums - 'Santana 3' from 1971, though this is a later release on the CBS 'sunburst' label (matrix reads A3 / B2), 'Festival' from 1976 (A1 / B1) and 'Freedom' from 1987 (A1 / B1) in excellent condition.
The 'Santana 3' vinyl is in lovely unmarked condition with only the very lightest hairlines, if any, visible in bright light. The 'Festival' vinyl is in excellent condition with only very light superficial hairlines, though I am listening to this album as I type this, currently 'Let The Children Play' and the audio is just superb delivering that richness and depth that you do not get with digital. The 'Freedom' vinyl is also in lovely condition, with only the odd very light tiny visible mark to the surface, though this has no effect on the sound. Santana is one of those artists who absolutely comes to life on vinyl. Short of having Carlos playing a set in my lounge, the sound could just not be better.
The sleeves all feature typical Santana lovely bright and colourful artwork and photographs and are in excellent condition with nice sharp and square, fully readable spines.
All in all, 3 brilliant albums from start to finish in excellent condition from one of the world's most unmistakable musicians and a very worthy addition to your playing rock 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.
