K-Mart Records November 2016 sales - LOTS OF RARE 7"

Hi and welcome to the my November 2016 sales list.

A nice and varied one this time with all records being grouped up in seven different categories. Four covering the 45's - Modern Soul, Northern/Crossover/Funk, all kind of ballads and a Latin section. Then there's two strong sections of Modern/Disco parted in US and non US ones. And lastly a section I never used before which is Italo-Disco albums.

I have a new mix this month as well. This time it's the sixth volume in my 2 step and mellow groove series for the Record Mania blog. Find the link here.

For all paypal payments please make sure I get the payment in GBP. Paypal are clever with their fee structures and standard is now they are trying to convert your payment into the local currency of the vendor. And of course doing so using their crappy exchange rates. So please make sure your payment are being sent in GBP and received in GBP. Also as usual all payment over £150 needs to go with the friends/family option, alternatively if you add 4% to the total to cover the fees. 

Best Regards,

Karl
