Karlm Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Hello and welcome to the first list of the year. 45’s only this time around. With strong sections of modern soul, crossover, northern soul and a meaty ballad section. And the comeback of the 2 Step section! There’s also a strong section with rare and sought after recent releases and reissues. There will be another list end of next month with more original 45’s, as well as 12 inchers and albums. PM to reserve. For paypal payments please make sure both currency fields are GBP, I don’t want to receive payments in other currencies. And for orders over £150 I need payment as gift alternatively add 4% to cover the fees.
