After the tragic death of my friend and web designer Ben it took me a long time to resume my activities. The website is back but all information is very dated:many records are no longer available, most prices have come down drastically and shipping rates have again gone up. So before you order something, please e-mail me first. Actual selling is taken place daily at eBay on my accounts "honeydripper_nl" for 45s and "vinylfortune2010" for LPs.

Vinyl Fortune's history is strongly connected with Dutch record companies, official and pirate radio stations - and most important of all – now retired discjockeys from the fifties, sixties and seventies eras.

They usually got two copies of each record, one for airplay and one for private use.

Most of these records had various extra inserts: biographies, press information, etc., etc.

Many artists appeared on the radioshows themselves, so lots of items have original signatures.

All these extras are mentioned separately.

Needless to say that 99% of these records have never been played, that's why there is no reason to classify them (NM; EX; VG, etc., etc.).
They are only classified if in my opinion they have been out of the sleeve, which by no means indicates that they reached the turntable.
I have classified these as NM: Near Mint.
For the sleeves however it is different, they surely have been touched, so I had to classify them in the same way as the records.
If there is no quality remark in this section it means that they are either Mint, Near Mint or Excellent.
Only the very collectable items have extra remarks.
If you are looking for other items you can also visit my eBay accounts for 45s, LPs, 12" and books for weekly auctions.
