A curated job lot of 5 original LP albums from a single UK collection, built around Club Records. These are ORIGINAL PRESSINGS — not reproductions.
These are compilation albums — various-artist collections rather than single-artist releases. Every record is catalogued to its exact release and priced individually below.
Please note the pressings: 4 of the 5 records are not UK pressings — Various – Club Records Presents… Jive And Stroll Volume 1 (Spain); Various – Solid Jive Vol. 1 (Spain); Various – 14 Great All-Time Jivers Vol 3 (Germany); Various – Solid Jive Vol 2 (Spain). Labelled on the contents list and visible in the photos.
Mint records: 1 record(s) in this lot are graded Mint. These were not played, to preserve their condition, so they are graded by eye only.
Please read before buying: every record in this lot was graded by eye on the Goldmine scale — none have been play-tested. A grading cannot fully capture how a record sounds. If you only collect play-graded records, please don't buy this lot — buy only if you accept grading based on the Goldmine scale.
These grades are based on the Discogs/Goldmine scale: NM — near perfect, barely played; EX — plays like new with minimal surface marks; VG+ — light marks, plays well with some surface noise; VG — visible marks, surface noise throughout, should still play through; G+ — well-played, significant surface noise. The photos are of the actual records in this lot.
Photos and grading expectations: photos generally include images of the vinyl in strong light. When a record has marks or damage, I photograph the worst affected areas so you can see the worst case, not just the best angle — please pay close attention to any marks on the surface you can see before buying. I'm happy to provide extra images on request.
Contrary to the views of some people, it is not possible to please everybody with gradings. Having sold thousands of records, I know that some buyers have very different expectations of gradings to others. I try to find the middle ground with gradings, but I know that a small percentage of people will disagree. If you buy this lot, you buy with that understanding in mind, as I've now made it clear.
If you decide that you disagree with the gradings in this advert significantly on receipt, message me before opening a case. Returns are accepted and I'm happy to answer any questions.
Notes on my pricing methodology: estimated prices and value of individual records and the batch overall were carefully calculated from historic market data on discogs.com for each individual release. Prices are representative of real-world sales from Discogs (assuming each record sold individually). These batches are adjusted to be great value, with a significant discount below the market rate for each individual record combined.
Why buy this batch from me? Many job-lot listings sell unidentified records — you buy a box of surprises and spend evenings working out what you've got. Every record here is already catalogued to its correct release, individually listed with its own estimated value, and priced well below market for the same records bought individually. You get collection-ready records, not a research project.
Summary of record grades: 2 NM, 2 EX, 1 M. Estimated retail value of the lot: £33.61.
Ships from the UK, carefully packed in a stiff mailer. If you feel any record is mis-graded, message me before opening a case — returns accepted, no quibbles.
