Here is a rare opportunity to buy some exceptionally clean original Classical vinyl long playing gramophone records. Over the next few months I will be listing a superb "New to the Market" collection of Classical / Orchestral albums which we have purchased from the estate of a dedicated vinyl collector. Most of the records look virtually un-played and have been kept in strong polythene sleeves so both the vinyl and record sleeves are mostly immaculate ... "Top Copy's!" ...

... "The about us bit!" .... It's possible you could have previously bought records from us over the last 30 years or more and may remember us both as very experienced record dealers as well as keen fanatical collectors. We are very strict with our grading and pack very thoroughly and have often been commended for it. If you are a new customer to us please be assured you are buying from one of the UK's leading Vinyl Specialists with a reputation second to none.You may like to look at our past feedback.
.. Please note! that none of our records have been tampered with, no sleeves have been "edge-trimmed" and "No" coloured pens were used in there presentation! in fact they are guaranteed to be exactly as described.
.. We always stand at all the large London and Utrecht Record Fairs (We have the orange record crates and the 30ft. wall display!) and are more than happy for customers to collect their purchases from us in person at these events if they wish to save on the postage and packing. We actually prefer to sell face to face to our customers old and new rather than over the internet but of course most of our record fair customers are more interested in our large stock of 60's rock, beat & psych or our large stock of 70's progressive hence our return to the net with this classical collection. Please be assured this collection is completely new to the market and has not been picked over and is exactly as it was when we purchased it from its previous owner. Thank you for looking at our auctions and Happy Bidding. ... Best wishes Neil and Sue.
