INTRODUCTION


 


I selected these records from my extensive collection and many of these are from my personal collection.  I buy and sell records as a hobby enterprise and enjoy listening to records therefore if you are unhappy with the condition will gladly accept returns.  However, I have tried to be consistent and fair in the grading used and have cleaned them meticulously on a Mark 1 Keith Monks RCM and played them on the best audio system I can afford.  If you have any questions, ideas or propositions please send me a message.
