DJ Mr.C (From Shamen / The End / Superfreq / Plink Plonk fame) is selling his entire House music & Techno music record collection including music from 1985 to June 2008. This collection is a complete collection of underground dance music & as a complete collection would be perfect to be kept together for the sake of archiving alone.

When Mr.C moved house 10 years ago he separated his then 16,000 unit record collection into 2 halves, 1 which he considered to be too valuable to sell & the other half, records that although good held no sentimental value. He sold 8,000 units at this time & kept the 8,000 units that he considered gems & could not possibly get rid of.

It is now this collection along with all of the amazing records he's acquired since 1998 that are for sale as this extremely interesting job lot. The music includes absolute dance music classics from New York Garage, through Chicago House, through Acid House, through Detroit Techno, through Belgium New Beat, through Tech House, through Minimal House & beyond & contains approximately 15,000 + pieces of vinyl.

All of this music is used but in great condition as Mr.C always looked after these tunes that he holds dear. The reason for the sale is that Mr.C will be moving to another country in the summer of 2009 & believes that these records would be better being used by someone that will love them & value them as he does instead of them simply sitting in storage forever. Should this sale not go ahead Mr.C will then go on to sell these records individually.

A lot of these records are highly collectable & worth £40 - £50+ each. Selling the entire collection individually would bring somewhere in the region of £150,000.00 - £200,000.00 but due to Mr.C's desire to keep the collection together, he'll part with the whole collection for a knock down price of £75,000.00 as a minimum bid.
