THIS IS PART OF THE LIST I CIRCULATED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, SOME PEOPLE SAID I OVERPRICED THEM! (ME? SHOCK, HORROR) ANYWAY I'VE TWEAKED A FEW PRICES HERE AND THERE SO SEE HOW YOU GET ON WITH THIS ONE.

MOST ARE IN SPECTACULAR CONDITION, THE ALMOST NEW ONES ARE M-, AN EX+ MAY HAVE A FINGERPRINT ON IT OR SOMETHING, AND EX WILL BE MOST PEOPLE'S EX+/M GRADE. THESE ALL PLAY BEAUTIFULLY.

CURTIS - HOW CAN I TELL HER - CHARM CITY 12" M- 75

JON PAUL MARTINEZ - WITH YOU / AMP CREW - AMP CREW WILL ROCK YOU - BUDWEISER SHOWDOWN 12" M- OFFERS

This is described as 'boogie' and 'electro', as I am totally out of my comfort zone here I'll ask for any offers. The highest price I've seen this at is 810 dollars. Lowest 103 dollars, that was 6 years ago. Here's a description I nicked off ebay.

THE LAMONT CRANSTON BAND - TAKIN' A CHANCE - WATERHOUSE PS M- 40

And despite this being a 70's release and by some sort of white rock type group said record was a massive sixties newie c/up as Williams & Watson "Nobody ever said it was gonna be easy" for Mister Searling at WC in the early 1980s.
