Yes there’s great demand for Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc, but some of the most valuable records from this era hardly sold at all.

I am in possession of my late step father’s collection – mainly 60s vinyl, things like The Who box sets, Fairport Convention and Pink Floyd.This article will look at a number of these factors that need to be considered to enable you to put some sort of value on your vinyl records here in the UK.
