SEPTEMBER 2024

Hello friends, 
My NEW batch of FORTNIGHTLY auctions & Buy It Nows will be completed by the end of Monday September 9th so PLEASE CHECK BACK if viewing before then. MORE STARTING FROM FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 20th!
I'm now NINE YEARS into selling my immense collection of 1990s independent label ORIGINAL PROMO POSTERS, VINYL, CASSETTES, FLYERS & POSTCARDS. Most are from my hoard acquired whilst in the independent record/music business.
NOW I'm adding my (usually) MINT UNPLAYED VINYL FROM THE 1980s & 1990s to my fortnightly listings. Record shop fresh, stored for decades. Independent labels, guitar bands, and electronica (IDM, EDM) my speciality.
PLEASE ADD ME AS A FAVOURITE SELLER for notifications of 1980s & 1990s NEVER PLAYED VINYL. Mostly from independent labels.
FREE POSTAGE after first item on nearly all printed items, and COMBINED POSTAGE DISCOUNTS on everything else (subject to conditions below).

HAPPY HUNTING!
