I recently bought a pretty large lot of records. Some nice, some beat, etc. Lets say a LOT.

I look at the wants- but forget them immediately.

 

So I would love some basics on what generally is wanted.

I see little talk about lps. I'm handling some motown type stuff;

typically it is in a poor condition jacket, with a somewhat worn, playable disc. Is this type of disc, in this type of condition, common in the UK and probably of little interest?

I also have come across a few of the "various artist" lps from the 60s.

Maybe a dot, a laurie, maybe a jewel. Any interest?

 

As for the 45s; from the digging so far- 99% are U.S issued. Are there any really common US labels or groups that are scarce overseas?

How poor condition would you consider on a disc you've been searching hi & lo for?

 

Any input would be a big help (again) - thanks-m

generally bad condition lps are not worth anything unless its a holy grail type of thing..then you gotta consider the postage from the usa

as for 45`s if they are common in the usa they will be common everywhere and most probably not worth buying as again with the postage it will be cheaper to get a copy in the uk

Thanks Dave- so rare is good, and junk is universal  . That helps-thank ya...
