Rare Records For Sale A private collection, four decades deep

RareTune is the private collection of one collector, built up over decades of collecting and cataloguing. It spans the early rock ’n’ roll and R&B of the 1950s right through soul, reggae, beat, folk, punk and more, up to the 1980s - LPs, 7″ singles, acetates, box sets: jazz, rock and pop rarities. Every record is graded on the Goldmine scale and listed with its own estimated value. UK-based, mostly UK releases alongside a few overseas pressings.

The collection is mostly original pressings, though a few reproductions sit alongside them - click through to the Discogs release for every detail. The most valuable items are listed individually on Discogs.com, and great-value batches of related records are available as job lots on eBay.

New stock is added every week. Find out more about RareTune, or browse the FAQ for answers on shipping, grading and returns.
