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.

The Commodores - 3 x original vinyl albums in excellent condition. 'Natural High' from 1978 (matrix reads 01A-1-1 / 02A-1-1), 'Greatest Hits' from 1978 (A1 / B2 with 'Mastered at Abbey Road- Nick etched to the run outs) and 'Nightshift' from 1985 (A15 / B15).
The vinyl is all in lovely glossy condition with only the absolutely very lightest of superficial hairlines, if any, visible in bright light. I am listening to the 'Greatest Hits' album as I type this, currently the all time Soul classic 'Machine Gun' and the audio is just superb, beautifully crisp and clear and delivering all that characteristic vinyl richness and depth. These 3 albums feature some of the very best music of this genre to be found anywhere and I have absolutely loved listening to these records over the past few days.
The sleeves all feature really nice artwork and group photographs and are in excellent condition with only very minimal wear commensurate with age and handling. The 'Natural High' and 'Nightshift' sleeves have little import cuts near the corners, but barring that these are really lovely sleeves.
This record in a nutshell : you'd have to go a long way to find these 3 brilliant albums in better condition than these and the freshly deep cleaned vinyls all deliver a really gorgeous pin sharp sound.

The records will be sent to you very thoroughly packaged in high quality heavy duty cardboard mailers with card stiffeners.
I am always very happy to combine postage.
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.
