Afternoon folks. Proper list this week. Some great across the board soul 45s up for your perusal.
All discs areVG++ (soul source grading-see below). All have nice clean labels no writing or damage (unless noted). I believe I grade well and most if not all of these 45s would be many othersNM. I've had far far worse graded 45s than these described as EX/NM! Any issues return for no quibble full refund. Please PM to reserve. Any orders from today and tomorrow will be mailed out Saturday morning.
Grading: VG++The odd barely discernible surface mark or minor blemish, nothing that will affect play in any way. VG+ A few more marks or light scuffs than aVG++ record but still sounds fine for listening and/or DJing. No scratches.Light surface wear. A used but far from abused copy.
Payment via pay-pal F&F appreciated. Proof of posting obtained. Paypal address is: soulful45s@gmail.com
You Tube clips are for reference only. (Saves you searching!) If you need a pic of labels etc just ask.
