All photos/scans are of my actual items. I do not use found or stock photos; what you see is what you get. Thanks for looking!

I was the owner of an independent record store in Seattle for well over 20 years. If you are familiar with Goldmine magazine they did a feature article on my store in the January 15, 1999 issue of the magazine. It was the first in a series of articles on Independent Record Shops around the world. It was quite flattering to be chosen as one of the premier indy record shops. The majority of the items I am offering were unsold store stock at time of closing or pieces I put aside during that time for my personal collection. I am able to offer sealed new Product for a good price because I own the inventory free and clear since it was all bought and paid for 10 or more years ago when I had my store. It kills me to sell some of these rare items, but alas It is getting to that time in life where I think about burdening my children with this massive amount of music when my time comes. All items are new factory sealed retail product unless otherwise stated in condition section. There are no bootlegs or pirates and again, any promo holes, cuts, or stamps will be noted.Bottom line I want you to be happy with product so you come back for more! I didn't keep my store running for nearly 25 years by offering substandard product. .
