This is just 1 LP from a truly AMAZING Punk collection!  And I have never EVER seen a collection like it before.  Punk LPs are notoriously hard to find in top condition.  Often you see Punk LPs listed as 'Mint' or 'NM' only to find they clearly arent.  Well this collection is RADICALLY different.  Despite owning 6 bomber jackets (he still has them!), going to countless concerts & wild parties (his own words), and having over 16 different fierce haircuts in his day (he showed me the pictures!) - the 1 previous owner treated his record collection like it was precious metal!  Every LP was put into a plastic sleeve from the day he bought it, and most were played ONLY ONCE to tape the LP.  In fact the most played LP in the whole collection only had 4 or 5 plays, with nearly ALL having 1 or 2 plays ONLY!  In the past people have accused me of hype.  Well no amount of hype IN THE WORLD would justify just how AWESOME this collection really is!  The LPs in this collection will either be the ULTIMATE upgrade of LPs people already have - or in a lot of cases the LPs are SO rare, that people will not have them in ANY condition!  Obviously PLEASE take the time to read all the description (as one or two in the collection are lower than the EX+ or MINT(Minus) gradings most of the collection has been given).  And PLEASE BE ASSURED OF GRADINGS.  If I say an LP is EX+ or MINT(Minus), there will be NO edge wear, PERFECT spinal text, and NO lines or marks on the vinyl!  Be very VERY certain NOT to miss this AMAZING collection - as the chances of ever finding Punk LPs in this condition again, are virtually IMPOSSIBLE.

Please also note - that this week I will have 3 sets of listings on ebay!  The Punk LP listings (of which this is one of!) will be ending late on Friday 18th, I will have a large collection of Reggae / Rocksteady / Ska 45s ending on Saturday 19th, and of course my normal weekly listings will be ending as normal on Sunday!

This is just 1 LP from this AMAZING Punk collection - so please read on below:-
