I am a 40+ year collector of LPs and 45s from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. All of the LPs and 45s I have listed on eBay are from my personal collection.

I have also been an audiophile for 40 years (analog only). The LPs and 45s listed have been play-graded on high quality equipment (turntable, tone-arm, cartridge, pre-amp, amp, speakers, and subwoofers). My system picks up the slightest surface noise on vinyl; i.e., ticks, pops, hiss, and sibilants due to groove wear. The standard I have used in adding a record to my collection has been how well it played (no surface noise present) in addition to how it looked.

The outer jacket of this LP has been stored in a polyethylene sleeve protector since I acquired it. I also removed the LP from the original Emitex inner sleeves and stored the LP in a custom rice paper sleeve while keeping the original Emitex inner sleeve in the LP jacket.

I have used strict grading standards of the UK publication Record Collector. I have described the flaws, if any, on the labels, vinyl, and sleeves. All the LPs I have listed will play as good as, or better than, they look. I hope you find something you can add to your collection and enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed listening to vinyl records for the last 58 years.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If you are not satisfied with an item for any reason, you may return it for a full refund of your purchase price.


This is the original 1999 180 gram vinyl LP of Paul McCartney's Run Devil Run. This LP is Paul at his rockin' best. Of the 15 tracks, 12 are classic Rock n' Roll oldies from the 1950s and 3 are McCartney originals. The album was also released on CD and sold well.  The LP was pressed in very limited quantities by Parlophone (EMI) in England and it is rare, especially in this condition.

I bought this LP in 1999, when it was released, with the intention of adding it to my UK Beatles collection and playing it as I did most of my Beatles LPs. I listened to it at fellow collectors house in 1999 and it was great, so I bought a copy. I had a very large UK Beatles collection at that time and I just never got around to playing it. As I did with all of my Beatles collection, I removed the LP from the original inner sleeve, put it in a generic rice-paper sleeve, put the inner sleeve back in the jacket, put the jacket in a polyethylene sleeve, and put it with my Beatles collection. It has sat there for almost 15 years.... unplayed.

The LP, jacket, and inner sleeve are unplayed, rarely even touched, and as new.
