Why Buy?

  • The items we offer in this range are carefully chosen for their potential to offer a real return for the buyer.
  • In recent years the value of records/memorabilia by a select few artists has risen considerably, for example, The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Queen and the Sex Pistols.
  • However, spotting future collectables with investment potential is not solely restricted to these big-hitting acts, you might be surprised to learn that many of the most valuable records are by bands/acts that remain obscure to all but the most hardened collector – we can identify these for you.
  • We offer a wide price range, from the entry-level and beyond.

Here’s a few to whet your appetite, and be sure to check eil.com for the full list

INV4Sex-Pistols-Anarchy-In-The-UK-599333 (1)
Incredible find – stored by the promoter since 1976, this is the poster for the ill-fated Anarchy Tour where only three of the shows actually took place, what a line-up, what a poster, a piece of  music and social history no less!
INV5Velvet-Opera-Elmer-Gantrys-Vel-596827
Highly acclaimed British rock album, sold very poorly when released, prices risen steadily over the years – a great example of a largely unknown bands records that can command a high value

Rare original UK 24″ x 17″ promotional poster issued to publicise the Anonymous Records 12″ EP released in September 1978.
