Anyone ever buy anything from Resolution Records in the UK ?

Thank you

Resolution are absolutely fine - Mark is extremely fast at sending stuff out, his condition is spot-on, and he'll play stuff for you as well. Highly recommended .

Yeyyyyyyyyy John !

Thanks, you're the best

I can say that all my transactions with Mark have been fine (last one was about a fortnight ago)

He seems to get a good range of stuff in and he's quick at sending out too - usually received within 48 hours...

while i totally agree with you about speedy dispatch and friendly service, i would add a word of caution about condition. a couple of times i've paid minty money for rare LPs from Mark and received pretty tatty copies by return.

he does get some amazing records though!

btw - if anyone is after the rarer quality early 70s soul and funk (soul searchers, leon thomas, Sussex stuff etc) then pop into Haggle - they have just had some killer OG stuff in top condition. top prices but this stuff don't turn up any more - they even had an OG 'Fully Loaded' in the same stack which i missed by a day

...way over-priced though, eh?

Compared to what ?

Finding a record in a charity shop / bin? Yes - but that figures

Other dealers? Hmmm - I wouldn't say that.

Ebay? Maybe sometimes - but then again, maybe not - stuff may spiral on the bay.

hey we've been through this before...the guys gotta make a living and if you dont want to pay then thats cool.

Mark seems a decent enough guy and Ive bought things off him a number of times - the quality has generally been ok but Ive had maybe 3 records where the sleeve is very bad - damage and split seams. When you pay good money you expect the whole package so I was a bit miffed.

He sorted me out because of this but I was more annoyed he neglected to tell me. So ask first ok.

[Rich Hero]

Yep, I agree with Sermad and Ed about condition, so ask first. Reading between the lines of his descriptions can be helpful. And if you ask for any wants know what's a reasonable price for them.

But yes, Mark's pleasant to deal with and he's sold me some great records so thumbs up.

In an update e mail he sent out last week he said he'd be going away soon & wouldn't be able to reply to emails etc.

Bought stuff of him a few times & have no complaints really.
