Records will be posted in sturdy cardboard mailers with stiffeners and in plastic sleeves with vinyl removed from inner sleeves to prevent seam splits.

I have been collecting Vinyl by The Damned for my personal private collection since 1981 and have a massive selection to follow.

The time has sadly come to part company, so it could be your lucky day Numbnuts.

All items will be mailed in professional hardened mailers none of this old Rice Crispies cartons stuck together with 15 year old sellotape nonsense.

Massive Private Damned collection with new DAILY listings!

Over 1300 DAMNED Vinyl Records from private collection including TEST PRESSINGS, Promos, Imports and very rare items.

Also tons of Mint unplayed items from the Stiff and Chiswick Era to present day.

Thanks for Looking, Namaste!!!

P.S. Numbnuts, if you have any questions about any of my listings drop me a message, but in all honesty, I'd rather you didn't.
