Item 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.
