Having been buying records for fifteen years and spent eight years working as a DJ, I wanted to pass on some of the information and knowledge about collecting and hunting down vinyl that I've picked up over the years.

This site is not, unfortunately, a complete guide, but a resource of information that I'd like to share to other collectors / trainspotters / budding collectors.

Part of the purpose of this site is to uncover hidden gems to collectors, and as I have this affinity for picture discs I've included many images of picture discs from my collection and images sourced on the internet from sites such as ebay and QXL. Also I have tried to cover a large number of images of classic, hard to find and collectable, sleeves, labels and records, as a graphic and visual resource.

Also included in the images section I've put some estimated values next to the records. Prices will vary though from region to region.

I've tried to keep the site as accurate as possible but if you see any errors please email me and I will correct them. Also any suggestions and comments about the site will be greatly appreciated. steveoptix@hotmail.com

Get your own rarities and prized items added, email me with images and a bit of info and I'll add them to the image database with a credit to yourself.

Top Finds: What did you pick up where and when, send me your info and I'll add it to these pages.
