Description

Up for grabs - a reasonably extensive collection of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark singles and albums.
I recently bought a record collection from ebay expecting there to be around 200 records - it turned out to be over 500. I don't want all of them, and there are some gems in here from the 80s. Included in the collection is a large number of OMD records, some signed, some limited edition. All appear to be original first pressings. For the most part the sleeves are in excellent condition, and the vinyl appears to be unplayed in a lot of cases. A wipe off with a carbon fibre brush, and they would pretty much be mint.
I'm not a record expert, but I would expect that if you bought all these separately, they would probably run to around £100 or so. Would rather sell these all together, as I don't want to split up what was obviously someone's labour of love. I will list each item below, with my own personal grading (and please note, the grading is just my opinion, not an expert one - however I will be realistic!). Any damage will also be listed, along with catalog number and anything special.
FYI - EX = excellent, NM = Near mint (looks unplayed to me), VG = Very good, G = good. Sleeve rating first, then vinyl.

Amazing collection for the OMD fan. Only really selling as I am moving house at the end of the year and am trying to minimise the chaos! Really good lot of records. All of the signatures appear to be genuine - looks like only Andy McCluskey has signed though.
Would prefer pickup, but can ship if needed.
All appear to have been exceptionally well looked after, and I have had them stored safely in plastic storage cases since I bought the collection a few months ago.
Any questions, please feel free to ask. Have priced these up according to the condition and average value on www.discogs.com, and I would say there is more than £150 worth here - more if you consider the signatures.
