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 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, (minimum of at least 4-5 tracks across both sides) though almost always played right through on a quality deck and I apply high standards to my vinyl and would never list 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 Human League - 'Dare' - original 1981 vinyl album in excellent condition. The matrix reads V - 2192 - A3 / B3.
The vinyl is in pretty immaculate condition retains all of its original glossy lustre with only the very lightest of wispy superficial hairlines, if any, visible in bright light. I am listening to the record as I type this, currently the infectiously catchy 'Love Action', and the audio is just superb, really crisp and clear and producing all of that richness and depth characteristic of the music delivered from the source of high quality vinyl in lovely condition.
The unmistakable sleeve is in excellent condition with lovely sharp edges all round with only the merest hint of wear. There is the inevitable hint of very light ageing to the white card, but for a sleeve pushing 40 years old, this one is very nice indeed. The card lyric inner is showing some foxing but barring that is in very good shape. The vinyl is now stored in a brand new high quality poly-lined inner for safekeeping.
This record in a nutshell :  a really excellently preserved copy of this quintessential synthpop classic album. From the first note to the last, this album is quite simply absolutely superb. The packaging is excellent and the freshly deep cleaned vinyl delivers a lovely pin sharp audio and this album would make a very worthy, some may say essential, addition to anyone's new wave/synthpop vinyl playing collection.
