Wow, a crate diggers dream. Wish I was closer. :grinthumb

This quote cracked me up in the "comments" section of that article. :oyea:

Those presentation frames were fully dodgy, I used to work with Paul upstairs when I was 17 and Dan'd ring up from downstairs saying shit like "BIG CLIFF RICHARD FAN COMING THRU" and I'd have to quickly knock up a "rare presentation frame" they'd then con some poor old lady into paying £25 to £100 for. Dan sacked me for refusing to hoover his floor one Saturday when I was minding upstairs for Paul on my own, that bumhole.

Blind Faith ...the cover was briefly banned in some places.

Wow. That store looks amazing. There used to be a similar warehouse of collectables in downtown Johannesburg where a friend and myself spent many happy hours going through boxes of records. :)
Reminds me of a story came across recently. Some Brazillian dude has a few million albums in a warehouse in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Check out the link The Largest Vinyl Record Collection in the World | HUH.

Gotta remember, just because you can see those albums, it doesn't mean that they are in good shape. They could be in absolutely awful condition. No way of knowing from just that picture.

BTW: I have Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper on vinyl, original 60's pressing with plastic sleeve on the outside. ;) Both in near/mint condition.
