About Me

Gilmarvinyl
I am a record collector specializing in cheap budget records such as Royale, Halo, Crown, Pickwick, Gilmar, Promenade/Prom, Tops/Mayfair, and other budget record labels. I enjoy every aspect of these cheap budget records, from the content, cover art, and the stories behind the labels that gave us all these fantastic (if not fantastically bad) records. Budget label records are diverse in content, style, and presentation; consequently, they always continue to fascinate me.
