OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. In the unlikely instance that you feel the need to open a resolution dispute before working with us, you will immediately be blocked from any further chance to acquire the rare music we present each and every week.
Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Please keep in mind our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.
Overseas mail to some countries Italy, Russia, France, in particular has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.
We use a VPI machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

ZIGGY STARDUST: Whether you realised it or not, this album changed your life. Its influence has been felt by a generation of musicians and listeners. Listen to it again, for the first time.
Musically, the 1973 album was as inspired as Ziggy s persona. Mick Ronson s snarling guitar evoked the triumphant power of the late 60s guitar heroes, but added a flash so dynamic fans knew why the Spiders were labelled glitter rockers. As an album, ZIGGY STARDUST told the story of rock through the eyes of Ziggy, an alien--with a narrative that was equally sensational and intimate.
After flirting with heavy guitar rock The Man Who Sold the World and lighter pop Hunky Dory , Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic arrangements, swaggering vocals, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album s darker rock numbers like It Ain t Easy, Moonage Daydream, Ziggy Stardust, and the irresistible Suffragette City, still serve as solid excursions into the future then and now of rock. The buoyant Hang on to Yourself and the dreamy Star offer hints of optimism in Ziggy s bleak world. The dramatic Rock n Roll Suicide and the image-heavy Star Man he d like to come and meet us but thinks he d blow our minds no doubt provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the 70s, but years later they still thrill. Bowie blew our minds
