last 5 purchased please !

This bloody site! I only came on to see if I could find what the difference was with the two Brenda Holloway - When I'm Gone mixes....3 hours later i'm still here!!

May as well make a day of it I guess....& going to participate in this thread as I had a reet 'chuffer' this week You know...where you are looking forward to it anyway... but when it comes it's even better!

The items were two LP's that I had managed to find at a real good price 'Bobby Patterson - It's Just A Matter Of Time' & 'The Spirit Of Atlanta - The Burning Of Atlanta'.

Anyway...they arrive...both are originals in nigh on M- condition (vinyl wise)...but when I get 'The Spirit Of Atlanta' LP out of it's sleeve...it's only a beautiful promo!!! The seller never mentioned this so it was a real nice surprise. Heaven!

I know what is going to happen now....someone will tell me they were all promos
