A combination of rain, a collapsed table and bad luck leads us to offer 13 boxes of really nice records for local pick up. Starting at 99 cents for the whole lot. You come here (Woodstock, NY 12498) and pick them up. We do not ship. For an extra charge we can deliver (within 50 miles of our location).

These are records that we were planning to sell during our regular Fall record selling season. The batch contains:

Lots of nice Dylan/ Band / Beatles stuff A whole section of mainstream rock A to D A whole section of mainstream Rock J to L A whole section of Alt. Rock M to P A whole section of Alt. Rock T to Z My synthpop section, including Gary Numan, Pet Shop Boys, tons of cool Depeche Mode and Erasure A bunch of Metal and Guitar flash A box of Dance 12" (some DnB) & RnB LPs. Prince, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wind And Fire. etc. etc. A bunch of compilations, including punk, new wave, RnB, oldies, Rhino comps. etc. etc. A batch of New Zealand / Australia stuff. Including some Flying Nun records. Other sundry items in this same vein. ( A small liist can be found at the bottom of this eBay listing. Look at the videos to see each record) You will NOT find a significant number of jazz, country, ethnic, classical, blues, pop vox, spoken. There are NO 7 inch singles.

Check the videos!

These records are all in plastic sleeves, so the covers are *not* sticking to each other. If you cut the plastic covers off and dry them quickly, you will be probably able to rescue the record jackets. The vinyl is almost all great. Much of the vinyl is unplayed.

A lot of these records came from the collection of a very important long-time NY area radio DJ. As you may know, large collections are often in good shape. The original owner worked in radio from the late 60s to the late 80's and these records represent his personal archive. He had other records at the radio station to play, so he didn't play these. There are a fair number of promo only items and white label promos of regular releases.

Note: The boxes are labelled with the designations from my record show sales. They are not entirely consecutive and I have not renumbered them for this sale.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions.

You can see a playlist of 13 videos showing all the records here:
