Due to a house move I am reluctantly downsizing my large collection of vinyl LPs - mostly bought at the time of release and have had minimal play as I taped them back in the day and listened mainly on cassettes. I always tried to buy the earliest pressings and made sure all the extras, inserts, booklets, limited edition covers etc were included.  

Stored upright in a dust and pet free environment they are now ready to move on to a new collection.

UK BUYERS - I can send up to 3 single LPs for the same shipping cost  - £4.50 or up to 6 single LPs for £8.50 so if you're interested buying a few, please let me know when you make your first purchase so I can hold off packing and sending - to save you big on the shipping. International shipping discounts also available, please ask.
