Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Amy Winehouse:

Amy Winehouse was a once in a generation British singer-songwriter whose voice defied channeled jazz, soul, and Motown. With her signature beehive hair, bold eyeliner, and a delivery steeped in both strength and sorrow, Winehouse brought vintage soul into the 21st century. Her artistry was deeply personal, touching on themes of love, addiction, vulnerability, and resilience. Though her life was tragically short, her impact was seismic, influencing artists across genres and reminding the world of the enduring power of vocal expression and lyrical truth.

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black:

Released in 2006, Back to Black is not just an album, it’s an emotional earthquake set to vinyl. Produced by Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, the record fused retro soul arrangements with brutally honest lyrics, creating a modern classic steeped in heartbreak and resilience. Tracks like “Rehab,” “You Know I’m No Good,” and “Love Is a Losing Game” aren’t just songs, they’re diary entries sung through smoky vocals that pulse with aching authenticity. Every track feels timeless.

Notes: The vinyl pressing features the iconic bathtub portrait and is a collector’s favorite for its rich analog warmth and clean presentation. This edition preserves the emotional intimacy of Winehouse’s voice and the vintage textures of the instrumentation. A cultural milestone, Back to Black stands as a defining album of the 2000s and an eternal benchmark for soul revivalism in pop music. It’s not just an album, it’s a masterpiece. The first pressing of Back to Black is a snapshot of music history. It was produced at the height of Amy’s fame, mastered directly from the original tapes, and issued before the reissue campaigns began. Its sonic clarity, lighter pressing weight, and lack of modern packaging cues make it a true collector’s edition. These are no longer in print and rarely found in excellent condition.
