Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.
My
dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of
records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and
some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he
is unable to do so himself.
You can
expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined
shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.
