Description
Welcome to another batch of vinyl records from my collection. I have been collecting records since 1969 and have over 2,000 LP's. I generally only sell on eBay some duplicates or records that I no longer listen to. All the records in my collection have been cleaned with anti-stat record cleaner and placed in a new anti-stat poly-lined inner sleeve and the cover placed in a new polythene outer sleeve. Please note my 100% positive feedback from previous listings on eBay, these are my first listings since before lockdown. I test play all the records being listed and give a detailed account of the condition of the cover and vinyl. Sorry, I now only sell to UK buyers as overseas sales are now VAT rated and postage services are not very reliable. All records are posted 2nd class signed for/trackable in boxed mailers with thick cardboard stiffening to prevent any damage in the post.
Anyway, here we have :
