Working diligently with my librarian hat on. I am really proud of how well we took care of our things and collectables…just kinda forgot. We have hundreds of quality pieces…some seldom seen especially in the U.S. Some are rare or at least hard to find. I welcome International Buyers…I know you have to pay high taxes for both countries …and it takes forever, but collecting is like that, I know.

If the record/tape/whatnot is a mess - you will know about it and see it, if it was a cut out, I will show and tell.  Nonsmoking home, original owners (okay a few finds in thrifting Years ago)...Happy to pass on to someone who wants it.

WE HAVE A WORKING REGA TURNTABLE, A GOOD NEEDLE AND A DOUBLE TAPE DECK -WE SPOT CHECK MOST EVERYTHING.

Clan of Xymox, also known as simply Xymox, are a Dutch rock band formed in 1981. Clan of Xymox featured a trio of songwriters — Pieter Nooten, Ronny Moorings and Anka Wolber — and gained success in the 1980s, releasing their first two albums on a prestigious independent UK label, a third and fourth album on a major US label and scoring a hit single in the United States.

Their 1980s releases included synthpop/electronic dance music. Though the band is still active and continues to tour and release records, of the original songwriters (Nooten, Moorings and Wolbert), only Moorings remains in the band today. After the departure of Nooten and Wolbert in the early 1990s, their music turned increasingly goth.

The band formed as a project of Ronny Moorings and Anka Wolbert in Nijmegen, Netherlands in 1981, before moving to Amsterdam and joining Frank Weyzig and Pieter Nooten who added their own contributions.[6] Assuming the name "Xymox", the group released a mini-album, Subsequent Pleasures, in 1983.They were invited by Brendan Perry to support Dead Can Dance on a UK tour and were signed to the indie label 4AD, which released their eponymous debut album in 1985.The track 7th Time, with Anka Wolbert on lead vocals, was picked up by John Peel, leading to the band recording two of the Peel Sessions at the BBC, in June and November 1985. Peel referred to the band's dark and melancholic sound as "darkwave".


In 1986 they released their second and last album on 4AD, Medusa, before signing with PolyGram. Simultaneously, Pieter Nooten recorded and released his album Sleeps with the Fishes (4AD, 1987),in collaboration with Canadian session musician Michael Brook. In a 2010 interview with AlterNation Magazine, Moorings expressed disappointment at the divided interests of the band members at this stage, exclaiming Medusa's follow-up album was "made entirely independently, without the rest of the musicians, who were then on vacation."

Medusa is the second studio album by Dutch darkwave band Clan of Xymox. It was released in November 1986 by 4AD. Founding member Pieter Nooten would re-record the songs "After the Call" and "Theme I" on his 1987 debut solo album Sleeps with the Fishes, following a brief split from the band.

Medusa is seen by some critics as the group's career high point. Sounds described Medusa as an "overriding achievement every track sounds like the finale to a brooding epic overture".

Melody Maker wrote, "Sleek, efficient, even dramatic, Xymox understand the value of a direct understatement [Medusa is] a bright flash of hope in these blackout days".
