Welcome To The Cool Vault!

Just like you, myself and Cath are dedicated music collector's, the vinyl that we are selling is from are own combined collections!
We are very passionate,and reasonably knowledgeable about all the music we list!

For your consideration we will try to source the best music on the planet including Blues, Soul, Lounge Lizard, Country,Punk, Reggae,Jazz, funk etc.
We try really hard to list music for all tastes!
It is very important to us that you collect the very best genres and artists that will enhance your collection!
We have been informed by our customers that we list an eclectic catalogue of music, yes indeed! That is our aim!
Some of this music, you will know and love, however we urge you to take a chance,if your eye is attracted to an album cover,then that is an indicator that you will probably enjoy the journey!

These records are from our own private collection, we have known most of them since they where babies.
We are in a good position to point out all of the good and not so good details!
We grade all our records as honestly as we can and  will point out all the little details that we think you, as a collector needs to know!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words!
We upload loads of pictures for your consideration.
We do not use stock photos, so please look at all pictures carefully!
Use the zoom magnifer provided by eBay. What you see in the picture is exactly what you are buying, if you see something that you do not like, please do not buy!
Get in touch instead so we can give you more information and then you can make your decision!
We will do everything we can to make your purchase a happy one!

For your reassurrance, all of the vinyl that we sell is test played in its entirety!
This is the only way that can can guarantee that you are buying quality!
This rigid quality control process is obviously a slow process, but our mantra is if it is not good enough for our collection,then it is not good enough for your collection!
As a general rule we do not sell music, that we would not be happy with in our own collection.

We are over the moon that so many of you have saved us as a favourite seller, and we are delighted when you come back for more!
Many of you also enjoy a browse at our very popular big CD and cassette sale that is running concurrently with our big vinyl sale!
Recently we have begun to list Multi Media Value Bundles, and judging by our feedback these streaming busting deals are going down a treat!

We use the Uk Record Record Collector System for all our vinyl, I will not cut and paste this here, as you can goggle this very easily, instead I will explain sone misunderstandings, that arise from time to time.

Grade Excellent does not mean, New, or like New, this would be graded as Mint.
I rarely sell Mint,I only use this grade if the record is sealed and unopened.
I do however use Near Mint I use this grade when I am absolutely delighted with the quality and audio playback of the vinyl.
A cut above grade Excellent!

Grade Excellent is a record that has been well looked after and stored by a conscientious collector and shows evidence of being played.
Please let me explain, I have Decca Rolling Stones albums from the 1960s, many of these are well over 50 years old and would be graded as excellent, on the other hand I have a new Happy Mondays album, that is totally mashed up and can never be graded as excellent. It can now only be used as what we call a collection filler!

Grade Very Good means reasonable wear or tear considering the age of the record or cover.

If you are buying anything below grade VG please have no expectations! The price should reflect the grade. I would only buy grade good or below if I could not afford VG or excellent.
As an example, I am looking out for The Smashing Pumpkins album, Melon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, it costs a fortune in decent condition, however I would consider buying it as grade good, if it ever becomes available.

If you see a few Records that you like, we will be very happy to combine postage for you.
This is quite a cost effective way of collecting, you can buy 2 or 3 albums and the postage will be the same.
If you click  on Buy It Now, that will reserve your music!
If you pay I will refund you, postage for a few albums should only be 4.10 pounds for a few records.
If you do not pay, I will send you over an invoice with the adjusted postage costs, same price as above.

All our Records will be cleaned and ready for your turntable.
All records will be enclosed in a clear protective outer cover.

I wish you the very best with your collecting, Vinyl is one of the world's most beautiful and precious resource!

The added bonus is that you are Investing and not spending.
Quality vinyl, by well loved artists and genres like punk, metal, blues, soul, jazz, reggae etc, can only appreciate in value.
I have given up now on savings, due to near zero interest rates, and I now put  most of my spare money into vinyl.
Congratulations to you, for doing the same also!

Thanks again for taking the time to look at this record, the very fact that you are viewing this proves you have exquisite taste in music.
I really look forward to doing business with you in the very near future!
We are very excited about the music we have currently listed,and even more excited about the album's we will be listing soon on an ongoing basis!

We are absolutely delighted that you are joining us on this audio adventure!

Al and Cath
