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.

Diana Ross and The Supremes - 'Greatest Hits' - original 1967 vinyl album in very good condition. The matrix reads A2 / B2.
The vinyl is in very nice glossy condition, there are a few very light superficial hairline scratches visible in natural light and the inspection lamp further reveals only the very lightest superficial hairlines though none are remotely feelable nor have any great effect on the sound. I am listening to the record as I type this, currently the sensational 'Reflections' and the audio is absolutely lovely, really bright with a lovely clarity and richness. This is a fabulous album from beginning to end and plays extremely well.
The stylish Garrod and Lofthouse front laminated sleeve features lovely and hugely typical of the period illustrations of the group and is in good condition, just showing the almost inevitable and so typical areas of delamination where the sleeve has been creased on opening the sleeve to extract the record many times over the last 50 years, but this sleeve is still in pretty good shape and looks well in its clear protective outer jacket. There is a 1" split to the bottom edge by the opening, again caused by removing and replacing the record for half a century, though this isn't really too noticeable. The spine is nice and sharp and square and fully readable. The original inner sleeve is absolutely of the period, carrying photographs of 32 contemporary album sleeves and is in excellent condition though I now have the vinyl housed in a new crisp white poly-lined inner sleeve to preserve the lovely original inner. I always find it a real treat when these lovely original inners are still in tact and they always add a really nice authenticity to the record.
This record in a nutshell : a simply superb 16 track album in very good condition featuring a host of the most uplifting and tuneful songs of the 1960's period with the deep cleaned vinyl delivering a really lovely pin sharp sound.
