YES, an amazing collection, especially sealed. As you say, the key thing here is there are many well known albums you filled through, but you only see CD copies available as the vinyls versions were pressed in lower & lower numbers during the 80s, sure to CDs. So to see a copy on LP is just amazing.

Wishing you were local to me… I would be buying about 100 or more of those in a heartbeat. There’s a few in there that I’ve spent years trying to find out-of-print, clean copies of.

Some amazing CanCon in there - Doug & the Slugs, 54-40, Grapes of Wrath and more! Wow

I was happy to see the Duran Duran and Howard Jones albums. Amazing to see all the sealed 80s records.😊

Thats very close to going back in time to a record store

WOW Sweet Collection! Yeah I remembr I swiched over to Cassette in the 80's myself Still got the Concrete Blond record, Joe Satriani is awesome too. I would buy that!

Wow, what an amazing collection! He was into everything. Looking forward to seeing more of his Beatles and Queen. Did he have any obscure 70’s rock like T2, May Blitz, Hard Stuff, Toad, Aphrodite‘s child? Possibly Vertigo labels as well?

So many gems,, I can't believe my eyes,,

This guy had the same taste as i do - even the uk 12inchers. Some of these are common sealed cutouts, but most are amazing to see sealed. Ive been collecting forever, so i know exact titles that are common to see still sealed. im an old guy, whos been collecting since 83, and bumped it up in the 90s, when most people went cd and abandoned vinyl. The 90s were the greatest time to collect vinyl,, cause the stuff was still new enough to be in good shape, and it was free or ridiculously cheap. If only i had lived in a house, instead of a tiny studio apt in the 90s, i could have bought more.

Definitely agree about the hype sticker. I will buy specifically for that especially on promos ! Lots of memories in that collection. 👍

Julian Cope and the band where he singed before "the Teardrop Explodes" my nation underground was an excelent Lp had great songs like China Doll,saw him live many times till jeova´s kill lp and it´s compilation in doble Lp, flored genius or similar, great concert this last i saw

Waiting for you to load these into Discogs, I'm interested in the 12" singles from The Cult, Love And Rockets, and so many more! The only thing I worry about is possible warping since they have been sealed for such a long time. But, hey this is a fantastic collection!

Holy Smokes!!!! What a collection! It's cool that these will go out to new homes but it's kind of a shame they can't all stay together. Those Pogues sealed!?! Awesome!

Animal logic there the Stewart Copeland Lp after "the Police" and many other interesting records

Nice to see the Stranglers in there, this guy had great taste. Thanks for sharing this.

one of my favorite bands ,saw them live some years ago before the death of the keyboard player one of the original menbers ,the singer was Toy Dolls guitar player and what a concert it was ,only early and very good songs

Sell them for $1 each on what not! Thanks

How much for The Cult albums?

I want that Daniel Ash

I been collecting Records since I was 8 years old. I'm pretty sure this was not someones collection but more likely a Record Store that went out of business. I'd guess around 1990 due to the C.D. boom at the time. This stuff looks like a lot of the stuff id see in the late 80's and I see a lot of marked down prices probably due to C.D. There is one thing I have not seen in a long time. What is the name of that Motorhead album with the deep sea diver on it ? It was probably a bootleg or unofficial Compilation.

I want. The. Doors.

Probably a Columbia House subscriber who never sent back the correspondence forms! Salesman maybe?

Ok when I saw Boys Brigade and then Andrew Cash - I said this is a Canadian collection.

Great collection. When will items be for sale please?

Keep an eye on our Facebook, Instagram & Newsletter. We are having one huge promotion prior to featuring these records.

Looks like he was already selling them, prices written in sharpie on the shrink?. Perhaps he was a dealer, did record shows etc. Good luck with it all.

It was common in the 1980's for Record Stores such as Mister Sound to write the prices on the shrink. The previous owner was strictly a collector.

Lots of Liverpool (my city) bands 😎

Cd´s only took over in early 90´s before one would pay half for a record and cds had not a equal sound ,some songs had missed sounds or just recorded so low that one would have to listen real loud to hear a guitar that in records had a high sound level ,the main problems with cds ,a steril sound, for some who never had a aceptable record player(from technics less than what today is 100€ ) was a improvement but in the 80´s only for rich people and cds were diferent from today ,the material was more expensive and harder to get skiped songs, i have cds from the 80´s washed in a kitchen and none is skipping if i did the same to 90´s cds none would play, but only bought 7 cds till 93 ,but had around 50 at home to hear from friends and my father had them and i would go to his house to get them

That sealed Atomic Rooster 😮

How much for that Ramones - Brain Drain? I’m very interested!

i have the doble Lp showed from sex Pistols as the ex-pistols E.P. in 78 rpm size, after the second bass player ,Sid Vicious death. Some complain about 80´s music but there never was a decade with so many labels releasing lot´s of diferent good music as alternative labels were selling a lot when alternative meaned alternative, mainstream music was a bit strange ,some independent label´s bands make it to the top but dozens of good bands don´t appear in 80´s compilations who only have 10% of the most heard music, that only the ones who just listen to the Radio know them like "top ten" bands like Modern Talking , Scotch, Sandra and the still together Ah-Ah , Madona , Bros ,between many others who were hit bands, maybe only some had a interesting song .

The. Queen. To

Do they sell at discogs ?

1980-1986 was the peak of vinyl sales and manufafturing so they arent rare at all. After 1987 till now yes records werent mass produced like the early 80s.

it looks like he wasn't a collector but someone who SOLD these. lots have a price on them, as if he sold them at record shows or perhaps a local market.

No Metallica or Slayer? I imagine those were included in the 150 that were pulled?

Ive never seen the point in buying a record then not playing it then someone else pays to own the record and doesnt play it either strange😅

Theyve all been resealed

hahahaha, you obviously have way more spare time on your hands than we do

Only Vinyl Dinosaurs care about this ancient music. Bands use Digital studios now. Forget crappy noisy vinyl Analog is dead!!!

I'm sorry you haven't heard a clean record through a huge sound system - you must be very young.
