I have been a music fan and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and I am selling a large range of records covering 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 endeavour to highlight anything in the description which I would want to be made aware of before deciding to place a bid. I am very aware that, as a distance buyer, you are entrusting in the honesty of the item descriptions and I always aim to describe the items truthfully and thoroughly.
All these records are deep cleaned using a professionally constructed wet vacuum system using only the highest purity record cleaning fluids 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.
**** DETAILS ABOUT THIS RECORD FOR SALE - PLEASE READ ****
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Order - 'Substance' - original 1987 vinyl album in excellent condition. The matrix reads FACT 200 A / B / C / D with 'Townhouse DMM' stamped to the run outs along with etched messages such as 'the pleasure and the pain' to each side.
The vinyl retains its original glossy sheen with only very light hairlines visible in bright light. *** PLEASE NOTE *** I have just annoyingly caused a couple of scuffs to the 'Blue Monday' side of the album after catching the vinyl whilst trying to decipher the matrix marks though thankfully this has only had the minimal effect of causing a few ticks which are almost entirely buried in the music, although audible between the tracks. Barring that, I have played this sensational album right through and playback is excellent.
The sleeves are in exceptional condition with only the very lightest of wear and the whites are still bright and crisp with no discolouration.
The vinyls are now housed in brand new high quality poly-lined inner sleeves for safekeeping and to preserve the quite superb originals.
This is a very good copy indeed of this highly acclaimed compilation featuring a host of the band's brilliant 12" singles and B-sides.

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.
