I have been a music fan and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and I am selling a large range of records featuring a very wide variety of musical styles. They are all authentic original pressings, featuring quality music mostly from the 1970s and 1980s. 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, very 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.

Status Quo - 'Live!' - original 1977 vinyl album in excellent condition. The matrices reads 1//1 - 2//2 - 1//1 - 2//2 with 'MELYS' etched to the run outs.
The vinyls are in nice glossy condition with only very light superficial hairlines visible in bright light. I am listening to the album as I type this and the audio is absolutely superb, beautifully crisp and clear and delivering all that characteristic richness and depth associated with high quality vinyl. Recorded using the Rolling Stones' mobile studio, as live recordings go, this is simply the best there is. Live recordings don't get better and the guitar sound currently filling my lounge from the pulsating track 'Most Of The Time' is just exquisite.
The gatefold sleeve features typically stylish Quo artwork with the centrefold carrying colour photographs from the 1976 Glasgow Apollo performances and is in excellent condition with only the very lightest of any wear commensurate with age. The spine is lovely and square and sharp and fully readable. The quality card inner sleeves feature superb quality full size colour portrait photos of the group members and are in excellent condition. 
All in all here is a superb live album from one of the world's most prolific and recognisable rock bands in excellent condition and worthy of a place in anyone's playing rock vinyl collection.
