Hugh, Rob and the rest of the team at Ashwells would like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and to ensure you have something to look forward to between Xmas Dinner and the New Year Party we will be listing some great real gems so try not to miss out...

The collection boasts thousands of items compiled over many years by the legendary DJ and Broadcaster Mike Read. Following the live auction held in London at the end of November where his numerous music publications, celebrity photos and bulk lots of vinyl were sold, we are now selling the highly sought after and much publicised gems from his collection.

In addition to the individual listings we will also be selling more lots of 7” singles and demos. We are currently working on the basis that most vinyl collections are built around a specific genre whether that is punk, beat, soul etc; we are therefore lotting together many fantastic items by genre.
 
In order to list an extensive selection of items before Christmas, our listings will remain brief. However if you require any further information please do e-mail us. We will endeavour to publish all answers, so before sending us a question please check the questions section at the bottom of the page.

We hope to put together a regular newsletter to keep all subscribers up to date with items about to go live. Should anyone have any questions relating to any other items within the portfolio please do not hesitate to contact us. We envisage a high number of enquires so please bear with us when awaiting a response.
