(see details below about "FIRST BIDDER BONUS")

Interested in classic, vintage record albums, 78 RPM or 45 RPM records? If so, you have come to the right place. We have recently been consigned another large record collection and plan to regularly list them on eBay. So please keep checking our auctions as we continue to list these treasures. We also reduce shipping charges on the purchase of multiple record auctions so do check our other auctions just in case we have other current listings of interest. The interest in records generally seems to be on the rise as major electronic outlets have been featuring "modern" but made to "look old" record players for the true aficionado.

Interested in classic JAZZ and BIG BAND artists? If so, you once again have come to the right place. We have been and will be featuring listings from many of the "greats" including: Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Coleman Hawkins, Benny Goodman, Bob Crosby, Teddy Wilson, Gene Krupa, John Kirby, Earl Hines, Eddie Heywood, Billie Holiday and Mary Lou Williams to name just a few artists. We will be featuring single records, compilations and sets too. Many of the songs and arrangements are next to impossible to find in their original format and hard to find generally in any format.

You will notice a number of things about our listings. 1. We do grade the 33 1/3, 45 or 78 RPM record and the jacket (if one is available) separately as we have found that often they are not in the identical condition. 2. Background information about the record including the date of release is included whenever possible. This information may have been gleaned from the record or reference may have been made to any of the price guides on collectible records. 3. We are often listing Canadian releases of these classic 33 1/3 or 45 RPM records that are not fully listed in most price guides. You thus may see a 33 1/3, 45 RPM or 78 RPM record you recognize but it is on a record label or has a record number that you will not recognize. So by all means please e-mail us if you have any questions or concerns.

Group Photos. We have included one or two group photos with most of our listing illustrating other records we have or will be listing. Hope you find them of interest.
