eBay My World: alan-james( 1509)

I have been in the music business as a DJ, Radio Presenter and private record collector/dealer for over 20 years. My love of music covers several genres from old school Disco, Soul, Funk, Boogie, Electro to new school Hip Hop, House, Garage and RnB,

Orignal, authentic, products unless stated otherwise. I always use more than one photograph/scan to illustrate the item on sale. All pictures are my own and are supersized/watermarked to prevent unauthorised use. I never use library or other seller pictures. Therefore ALL of my customers can buy with the confidence that the item on sale is what they will receive in the condition described. I price my items according to rarity and quality of the item. So although other sellers may sell cheaper. They may not be of the quality as a collector you want. For example Japan CD's set the standard as far as Sound quality /remastering are concerned and Inserts often have lyric books and stay faithful to the original album artwork. Therefore Japan CD's will command a higher price/preminum over perhaps a similar release by a reissue company. I only list new unopened /unused items as Mint. Near mint is a grade I use to describe an item with no visible flaws but have been played once or twice

Great black music mostly 90's, 80's and 70' and also many contemporary songs that perhaps do not receive the kind of exposure it deserves. I also buy and collect iconic, items such as sports shoes, t-shirts, magazines, journals of which I have an extensive collection.

Although I buy for pleasure and enjoyment of music, you can see by the items I've listed for sale, I pretty much deal in music as an art-form and not just for listening pleasure. Many of the items I sale are from my personal collection. Things such as artwork are just as important as what the music sounds like.
