I try and take photos to show the edges of the records so that you can see if there are any faults

Ours is a smoke-free home. I do have pets but I don't let them smoke or play my records or CDs.

I am in the process of listing my records, cassettes, CDs, music videos and books purchased in over 40 years of collecting. This will include loads of promotional material and limited editions. I have a full time job and this is a hobby so it will take forever to list everything I have. If you see an item by a particular group / artist that you like, chances are I will have other items by them. Keep checking back or use the contact seller option if there are any particular items that you are looking for and would like me to list sooner rather than later.


I have thousands of records ( 7" , 12" singles and albums) and thousands more CDs (singles and albums). I have hundreds of cassettes but will probably not list many unless they are requested. A lot of the music videos are VHS promo copies I obtained from a shop that used to sell MTV cast offs so are genuine record company promos sent to TV stations to plug their release.
I will combine postage if you win more than one item that can be shipped in the same packaging. If you win more than one item please wait to receive an invoice before paying to receive your postage discount.
