Hi folks,
I'm looking for the best source of Japanese pressings in the UK and wondered if any of you use Eli / Esprit rare records supplier? I’m just pondering on a few ‘nice to have’ albums in their online store to add to the collection and I’m quite tempted by a few older Japanese imports. But, their pricing seems somewhat, ahem, ambitious! Even compared to buying direct from Japan. Anyone had any dealings with them, and do their claims of everything in store being near nothing less than Excellent in condition generally hold up? Their small print…
“This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). We buy items as close to Mint condition as possible and many will be unplayed and as close to new as you could hope to find. Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed.”
Only ask as I have recently returned a few records to a UK supplier who claimed his stock was EX/Nr Mint and they were somewhat short of that description!
Any suggestions welcome.
