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.

The Carpenters - 4 x original vinyl albums in excellent condition. 'The Carpenters' from 1971 (matrix A2 / B2), 'Now And Then' from 1973 (A3 / B3), 'Horizon' from 1975 (A3 / B1) and 'Voice Of The Heart' from 1983 (A1 / B1) which was the first posthumous release after Karen's untimely death earlier that year.
The vinyl is all in excellent condition, with only the very lightest of superficial hairlines visible in bright light. I am listening to the 'Voice Of The Heart' album as I type this, currently the track 'Sailing On The Tide' which is a song that I've always really loved though it never one that gets played on the radio and the audio is just superb, really crisp and clear and delivering that depth and richness that you do not get with digital. 
The sleeves all feature lovely photos and art work and are all in excellent condition, just 'Now And Then' has a little shelf wear, but it's still a very nice sleeve.
These are 4 really excellent records featuring one of the most beautiful and unmistakable voices in pop music. The 'Voice Of The Heart' album is rather bittersweet but is an excellent album featuring the very last recordings made by Karen Carpenter whose voice was just as sweet as ever right up to the very end. All in all this great set of albums would make a very nice addition to anyone's 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.
