Description

A little about me.


I am an vinyl collector of 32 years and once I started I never stopped amassing some 10,000 to 15,000 records! I was very fussy and had particular rule sets about what I bought, this wasn’t always about condition but more about wanting only originals, first pressings and limited editions. Almost all genres were of interest and in a naive way I think I thought I would be able to buy and find every record by every artist I liked. I rarely achieved any complete collections by any artists, but did get some! Unfortunately for me a lifetime of trawling through records shops, charity shops and car boot sales has left me where I find myself now - having to sell maybe all of what I have.


At the moment I have decided to sell all but my favourite artists, but that doesn’t mean I am keeping my most valuable records. So I’ll probably sell all my Radiohead records but keep my Ride ones, it’s just personal preference. 


My collection is probably about 60% 7” singles to 40% 12” and LPs. These records take up loads of room and are split between three locations so I am going to work shelf by shelf with what I can get to first. So I might sell the LPs by an artist and later on sell the 7” singles. So it’s probably worth keeping me as a seller if you like what I have and are looking for more records by an artist you like.


My rule set followed this logic. All Pop, Rock, Indie I would buy the smallest format i.e. 7” single or 10” then 12” if that was what was available. I reversed that logic for Dance, Disco, Funk, Soul, Rap etc working from the 12” down. I would always want the first pressing, be it the limited edition or if the limited edition came later the more ordinary version. I would describe myself as a completist so the records by and large always had to have the correct sticker, inners, inserts extras with them download codes etc.


I have many mint records and many in varying degrees of condition. I am honest and will try to explain where and how I bought the records to give a clue about their condition. I have played all records through at least once in my lifetime so no records will jump.


I don’t ask a lot other than you love and cherish them like I have. I can post maybe twice a week at best and will try to let you know when posted. I will put the records up twice maybe but then they'll end up on discogs at a flat price.

    Ok so this offering from the Smashing Pumpkins needs no introduction. Absolutely immense first album from the band bettered only by . . . well Siamese Dream. Nonetheless this is rare and an superb album to boot. The record has surface marks but all my records are played through a least once and I won’t put anything up that isn’t up to the mark really. Basically if you want a mint copy you can get one but you will paying three figures for it up front. The inlay has some minor creasing and ringwear and the outer is in fine condition with the opening having a few creases and a dent of sorts - check the photos. It’s going on pricy but hey if you want it I think you are getting a solid bargain, which is exactly how I felt buying it from the record shop back in the day a couple of years after it was out. I knew of it at the time but couldn’t afford everything I wanted so probably bought Nevermind instead! By the way Hut what a label that was back then some great bands and records put out by them.
