THE HOME OF RARE 78s AND ASSOCIATED EPHEMERA

Welcome! I'm Mark Berresford and I've been a collector of Jazz and Blues 78s and associated ephemera (photos, sheet music, programmes etc) for over 40 years. For the past 30+ years I've sold records and have run my business full time since 2000. I know the music and how to accurately grade and safely pack records, so you won't be disappointed. Based on the edge of the Peak District in Derbyshire, England, close to the historic towns of Belper and Wirksworth, I also produce, compile and write liner notes for CD reissues and edit VJM's Jazz and Blues Mart, the World's oldest Jazz & Blues trading magazine.

My own musical tastes are for early syncopated music, 1896-1930, which takes in all styles of ragtime, jazz, popular, klezmer and blues forms within that timescale - if you have a rarity or obscure item to sell/trade then let me know!

I've been selling on eBay since 1999 and my grading, packaging and service are consistently praised by buyers .Everything I sell is Guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

I produce a quarterly auction list of 400+ Jazz, Blues, R&B and Hot Dance Band 78s (next closes 1st November 2009) which can be viewed at my website:-

As well as auctions I always have over 20000 78 rpm records in stock for sale, covering Classic Jazz, Pre-War and Post War Blues and R&B, Dance Bands, Personality, Music Hall, Theatre and Revue Original Cast Recordings and Rare and unusual labels. I welcome specific enquiries.
