As I have so many items come in this week, I will be doing 2 sets of auctions!  One will end on Saturday 13th of April, and of course, I will have my usual 'Sunday' auction listings ending on Sunday 14th April.  There will be some AMAZING Psych, Blues, Beat, Jazz & Prog LPs, MINT Punk / New Wave LPs, some extremely rare 45s, and even some memorabilia!  In fact, this will probably be the VERY best set of auctions I have ever listed - so take a good look, and best of luck if you decide to bid!!!!

Regarding records for this coming Saturday auction:- ALL are from an INCREDIBLE collection that was played ONCE to tape and NEVER played again!  And the covers were kept in plastic sleeves from the day they were bought.  So essentially 99% of them look exactly like they did when purchased 30 or 40 years ago!  This is just one LP from that collection:-

On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Police called "Reggatta De Blanc" and is an ORIGINAL 1979 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press A&M label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS ONE OF THE RAREST LPs ON THE A&M LABEL - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1979 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE, AND IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION - AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL (IT IS ONLY SHOWING 1 SPINDLE TRACE!)!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1979 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS A&M LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL A&M UK 1st Pressing from 1979 and is in AWESOME condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat.

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!  I can always happily sort anything out for you, if you let me know you have a problem!  This way no one has to leave Negative/Neutral feedback - and we both walk away happy!  Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem.  Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
