Description
Welcome to my auctions....check out the other vinyl listed, more added each week and follow me so you don't miss out.
My dad was a private collector, he collected thousands and thousands of records from 1950's to early 2000's, many are rarities, obscurities and some are unique, I am not a dealer, just selling the collection now he is unable to do so himself.
You can expect great service/fast dispatch/super strong packaging/combined shipping and honest, no nonsense gradings BUT Please read descriptions.

There is the odd extremely light sleeve removal trace under strong artificial light, Super Shiny and for near 45 years old...Stunning Condition.
PLAYTESTED and it plays all the way through with no skips, jumps or sticks. Sits completely flat on the turntable. Audio is Wonderful, Strong and Vibrant with no lessening in sound quality. Plays with some light static in the quiet parts and the very occasional click. It has been stored for 40+ years so will benefit from a proper clean.
Labels are clean and free from damage (slightest trace of wear around side 2 spindle), Some signs of being played under strong light (spiders legs)...see photos
