I came across 200-300 vinyl records all 70,s and labels such as DECCA,
London/England and also DECCA Dutch.
Many more rare labels, Deutsch gramophone, EMI, etc.
All are near mint condition but the odd one has a bit of ware on the cover.

These are all mostly classical & opera but there are more genera in there as well, The odd Sting , David Bowie and a couple others.

Does anyone know of any collectors or places that would specialise in looking at or buying?

Tried a couple already but they said most people don't go for this niche market?

Damn man, in my world, I love finding odd vinyl LPs as I do a lot of sampling. I especially like classical... can do a lot with clips of strings, pianos, orchestras, ect... you lucky duck. Personally, if they are mostly what you say they are, then they really aren't worth much. Rarity and how collectable and wanted it is, along with the condition of the cover, sleeves, any inserts or extras it came with (such as Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon which came with two posters) and the LP itself is what makes a record valuable. Most records I own I got for a few bucks a dozen, or other deals like so.

IMHO, your best bet is to write down the name and title of each record and to research each on the web. If you come across anything worthwhile, make sure you have the correct copy as well, and not like a reissue. Anyways, good luck. If they're not worth much and you don't really want them, sell them all together, your best bet for getting anything for them, really. :)

look on ebay completed items

I was going to say the same. Make certain you are looking at auctions that have been completed, it's not unusual for sellers to ask way more than an item is worth in buy-it-now's and such.

'In the old days' Vinyl had some valuable items; tended to be one offs or limited editions ie the Sex Pistols first single on A&M i think. I had a Stranglers album which had been pressed with side 2 of a beach boys album?! those things were worth a bit of money. Theres a magazine in the Uk called 'Record Collector( might have a website) which has loads of record shops and collectors contacts....

I recently bought a first edition of Lynyrd Skynyrds "Street Survivors" with the flame cover
unopened, still in sealed factory plastic covering. Will nI hurt the value if I open the album to see which inserts are inside.
