Ordered in September 2020, Delivered in February 2021. Well, the good news was the second shipment arrived safely. Also, once contested oil was on it and responsive. I can only conclude the time it took to arrive was due to the British postal service. But, "Hats" off to Eli, they worked with my through it all and I got my shipment in the end. Sometimes it takes adversity to show you the Tre mettle of the company's responsiveness, Eli.com did great.

The best place to buy original release year of your favorite albums. All the albums I have purchased are Mint Condition. I live in the US and it takes about a month to get to me because of customs but worth the wait. This is the only place that I get my albums from.

Absolutely superb.
I couldn't believe just how fast my item arrived. I ordered it during my lunch break at work and it arrived safely at my home address the very next day.
My signed item also came with very good provenance (a pass for a signing session that is well documented to have happened), so I absolutely know that it's 100% genuine.
I've used Eil.com (Esprit) before and I will definitely be using them again in the future.
A very good experience indeed.

No problems with this company. I ordered a 12" Vinyl record which I'd been looking for for many years. It came with very good packaging & is in as good condition as it would've been if I had bought it on release & it for years and I look after my record collection very well. So, I was very pleased to to add another prime cut to my collection.
I'm very happy with my purchase & would heartily recommend this company to anyone interested in adding to their collection.

Excellent Seller. Highly Recommend. I completed an international transaction with Esprit Vinyl Records and it was a great experience from start to finish. Their customer service was both courteous and extremely helpful. They provided detailed photographs prior to purchase to confirm record condition of both vinyl and sleeve. After completing the purchase, my record arrived extremely quick and was packaged exceptional well to ensure my record arrived to the US with no damage. The record exceeded my expectations and was in pristine condition as described. I would purchase from them again and recommend to all record collectors who demand exceptional quality. Thanks.

Website is a bit dated and prices are a little steep however it doesn't matter as these guys have all the juicy rarities in superb quality!

Highly trustworthy, will definitely be using them again for any rare vinyl purchases! Thanks fellas.

I have purchased Vinyl and CD from eil for many years and I can honestly say that their quality of product and customer service is first class. All items have been excellent or above and I have never had any problems with the company. They do what it says on the tin.

I have now started my record collection thanks to EIL. The quality of the records is excellent and as described. The service is quick and each record is packed in its own sleeve. All very professional.

A superb site for vinyl enthusiasts like me. All the LP's come property packaged within a couple of days from initial purchase. The quality of these records is so good that there is hardly any interference when played. The big sleeves that we all remember are all neat and tidy with hardly a blemish. Nice one eil. I'll keep ordering.

Excellent service and delivery. Considering it’s age this album was in fabulous condition. Realistically it needed a couple of deep cleaning runs on the Nitty Gritty machine to clear out some ‘crud’ but now it is silent and flawless. Excellent purchase.

A great Service, from a company I have used and been very satisfied with before. The disc was sent out quickly and in my hands in a couple of days. This was a Japanese Import and disc came sealed and in a new conditon with all the relevant bits and pieces. Awesome pieces of Music by two superb Musicians. What more can I say ... Excellent

Yep, what I ordered showed up in a very reasonable amount of time considering it had to travel the Atlantic and the US to reach me on the West Coast...Quality of the LP was excellent and the price more than fair...Pleased? Yeppers!

I recently had to replace my original 1974 pressing of T. Rex Zinc Alloy album that I bought on release day. Unfortunately over time it had become unplayable. I was looking for a really good copy of this 46 year old album and that is exactly what I got. The vinyl and cover exceeded my expectations and fully warranted the sales description. What's more having ordered it on a Sunday it arrived well packed on Tuesday. Based on this experience I fully recommend eil.
