A little about me.
I am an vinyl collector of 32 years and once I started I never stopped amassing some 10,000 to 15,000 records! I was very fussy and had particular rule sets about what I bought, this wasn’t always about condition but more about wanting only originals, first pressings and limited editions. Almost all genres were of interest and in a naive way I think I thought I would be able to buy and find every record by every artist I liked. I rarely achieved any complete collections by any artists, but did get some! Unfortunately for me a lifetime of trawling through records shops, charity shops and car boot sales has left me where I find myself now - having to sell maybe all of what I have.
At the moment I have decided to sell all but my favourite artists, but that doesn’t mean I am keeping my most valuable records. So I’ll probably sell all my Radiohead records but keep my Ride ones, it’s just personal preference.
My collection is probably about 60% 7” singles to 40% 12” and LPs. These records take up loads of room and are split between three locations so I am going to work shelf by shelf with what I can get to first. So I might sell the LPs by an artist and later on sell the 7” singles. So it’s probably worth keeping me as a seller if you like what I have and are looking for more records by an artist you like.
My rule set followed this logic. All Pop, Rock, Indie I would buy the smallest format i.e. 7” single or 10” then 12” if that was what was available. I reversed that logic for Dance, Disco, Funk, Soul, Rap etc working from the 12” down. I would always want the first pressing, be it the limited edition or if the limited edition came later the more ordinary version. I would describe myself as a completist so the records by and large always had to have the correct sticker, inners, inserts extras with them download codes etc.
I have many mint records and many in varying degrees of condition. I am honest and will try to explain where and how I bought the records to give a clue about their condition. I have played all records through at least once in my lifetime so no records will jump.
I don’t ask a lot other than you love and cherish them like I have. I can post maybe twice a week at best and will try to let you know when posted. I will put the records up twice maybe but then they'll end up on discogs at a flat price.
Follow up album to K for Kula Shaker which wasn’t as nearly as successful probably due to some bad press, but is a very good album and as a result is rare (as the first is). This is effectively a limited edition as it has the silver embossed lettering which was changed to purple non-embossed quite quickly. It has a promo sticker so basically it the the very first pressing. The record, inner and sleeve are about pretty much mint condition so we are talking a very nice offering here. If you check elsewhere this commands a price and so will be listed on that basis really. It has been reissued but this is a bona fide original and hard to find. I bought it from a Brum record shop a year or two after it came out.
