Hi, my name is Brian and I have been buying and selling vinyl on ebay for many years and enjoy enviable feedback from many succesful sales from very happy buyers. I will always give very honest and accurate descriptions with plenty of quality pictures. If for any reason you are not happy with the item you get, I will give a full refund including ALL postage so long as the item is returned in the condition it left me.

I do use the UK record collector grading scale with the odd + or - where justified.
I am very happy to answer any questions and send futher photographs if you wish.
I will only post valuable and rare albums insured and signed for.
I will post anywhere in the world insured and signed for.
The international and UK postal charge is only an estimation, actual costs will depend on destination and value. PLEASE wait for an invoice before paying. THANKYOU.

I use 2 card stiffeners + bubble wrap in a cruciform box with strengthened corners where needed.

Rich full sound, top stereo separation, open sound stage and a super quality recording. Very nice. EX, EX.
