The majority of our auctions hail from Zambia, where many records were destroyed by the conditions and having been poorly produced. This combined with the the impact on society at the time means that unearthing any of these titles in any condition is rare, and seldom in high grades. If you want to listen to the original authentic sounds then you do have to prepare to have a different mind set in regards to expectation. We hope you enjoy the music we provide in our auction.



Our grading is our opinion and should be used as a guide together with the photographs provided and the sample for you to listen to, with descriptions also provided. We aim to be conservative with our grading and as accurate as possible, but this is a guide and it is your responsibility to ensure you are happy before bidding and purchasing.



Goldmine Grading Scale used: sometimes + or - denote variations of a particular grade. All records are graded under a bright light and are fully play tested on our test deck as to provide the description details while also providing sound samples for listening.



All photographs shown on our items are the actual product, and are personally taken to provide an accurate visual display.
