I AM FINALLY HAVING TO SELL OFF MY RECORDS DUE TO THE ONSET OF EXTREME OLD AGE. THE COLLECTION HAS BEEN BUILT OVER 50+ YEARS. IT REFLECTS MY PERSONAL TASTE AND MAINLY CONSISTS OF BLUES, PROGRESSIVE, ROCK AND JAZZ.

I AM A HOARDER, NOT A COLLECTOR, AND SO THE RECORD GRADINGS ARE HOW THE RECORDS APPEAR TO ME. ALL THE RECORDS HAVE BEEN LOVED AND MOST HAVE BEEN PLAYED, SOME A LOT. NONE HAVE BEEN KEPT IN STERILE CONDITIONS IN A BANK VAULT. BEARING THIS IN MIND I WILL TRY TO BE HONEST IN MY ASSESSMENT AND RECORDS ARE PRICED ACCORDINGLY. ANY PROBLEMS, MY EMAIL IS BELOW.

PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ALSO ACCEPT COMMISSIONS FOR CARTOON PORTRAITS - EMAIL FOR DETAILS AND INFORMATION PACK

 ABOUT THE SELLER

Norman spent many years in the music business from the late 60's,  working with blues singer/guitarist Jeremy Spencer and the original Fleetwood Mac line-up. He spent many happy hours going up and down motorways in the back of Black Sabbath’s van, living through a pre-MTV version of ‘The Osbornes’, with Ozzy being a constant      unpredictable presence!  After a spell locating and touring US Bluesmen throughout the UK and Europe, including Champion Jack Dupree, Lightning Slim and Homesick James, Norman opened an agency in Birmingham with his great friend, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Ric Lee, drummer with legendary Woodstock band Ten Years After. They handled - amongst others – heavy metal stars Judas Priest, who the company managed for a while. He has also been involved with the   Birmingham International Jazz Festival, working with the likes of Buddy Rich and the Count Basie Orchestra.
 
Norman has been seen on BBC News, Sky Sports Premier League World, and he and Doe have been featured in a week-long series on UK television. He was recently seen on Sky Sports Premier League Preview Show, and the UEFA Champions League show. He is the ‘house’ cartoonist for several large companies and organisations,  including KPMG, Courage, Coors, Ebay, Punch Taverns, Greater Manchester Police Air Support Unit, Orange, Severn Trent, Airbus UK, Cancer Research, Blue Cross, Carlsberg, Black & Decker, City of Hamilton, New Zealand, Vodafone, PwC and the Falkland Islands Government.  He was also responsible for the Marstons Brewery and Hepworth    Minerals calendars for many years, and his ‘Crazy Company Characters’ calendar is currently an annual favourite. The first celebrity client was the legendary Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards who remains a firm friend of the couple, and the late Bob Monkhouse was very supportive in the early days. Since then, subjects have included many celebrities, sporting  personalities and a sprinkling of Royalty, both British and Continental.  In addition, he has been official Club Cartoonist for Aston Villa Football Club since 1991, and also works for several other professional football clubs. His cartoons have been featured on ITV during the build-up to two FA Cup Finals, and has worked at both Edgbaston Cricket Ground and Twickenham , the home of English Rugby.
