Last list of the year and I am still clearing out my collection.
All the 45's below have been amassed over many years and some have still to make the big time. Mostly 70's & Crossover, there are many underplayed & semi-known records.
Many thanks everyone who has bought from me this year.
a very merry Christmas and New Year to you all.
