Welcome to my vinyl auctions.

Over a period of several years I am slowly listing a remarkable record collection for auction on ebay. This collection belonged to my friend Brian, one of the most discerning record collectors I have ever known. Brian started buying records in 1966 when he was a teenager. His infatuation for vinyl developed into a career and he eventually ended up working for RCA records and CBS/Sony records as a disc mastering engineer from 1977 to 1989. Brian’s not with us anymore, and I’m making good on my promise to him to sell his records in lovingly-prepared auctions which reflect the love he had for his vast LP collection. The proceeds are going to his family.

Brian’s collection is the kind that rarely comes up for sale. He had great taste in music and collected vinyl seriously for 40 years, taking superb care of his collection. To see all of Brian’s records that I currently have listed, click here.

I grade records conservatively to ensure your satisfaction as the buyer. All LPs will be shipped promptly in reinforced record-mailing boxes. Because of the size of this collection, I will be listing these records in sections, so you might want to bookmark my listings page and keep checking back. Also, if you want to be notified when a new block of records is listed, drop me a line with your email address.

Condition of sleeve: The gatefold cover is NM- with some very minor ringer. It is numbered A1877032. The four pictures and poster are near mint.

Condition of records: Visually the vinyl is VG+ with a smattering of light marks on each side. It plays with very little in the way of surface noise although do I do hear the occasional pop. I'm playing it at considerable volume and there is no distortion whatsoever. It's a lovely deep warm cut, it sounds fantastic and plays mostly at a near mint level. No spindle wear on any label.

Further Notes: The J46, 47, 49 and 64 stampers tell us this pressing was mastered in Los Angeles. This is a beautiful-sounding copy of this classic LP.

I only accept paypal. If you wish to pay by any other means, please contact me prior to bidding.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTE:
Ebay does not let me specify a greater shipping amount than $4 for US shipping in the listing, but I am in Canada and shipping a record to you in the US costs $10, not $4, so kindly disregard the listed shipping price and follow the shipping charges below. I will send you an invoice with the correct shipping amount shortly after the end of the auction. If you jump the gun and submit a payment with just $4 shipping I will send you a payola invoice to cover the remaining $6, so it's better to wait for my invoice.
By bidding on my auction you are acknowledging that you have read and understood my shipping terms.
