Here's a nice start for 2007, with some unique and hard to find 45's. See the bottom of the listing for shipping, grading, etc. I can email label photos for any that are without (the board limits the number of photos that can be displayed).
Tate - Love Shop b/w There'll Be Some Changes Made $175
Sundance 43829, dish warp not affecting play, o/w looks NM, has some minor noise at beginning due to low-budget pressing job. Priced with those issues in mind.
Excellent double-sider from the Bay Area. Appeal for funk, modern soul and sweet soul folks.
Incredible h-e-a-v-y downtempo soul, and heavily in demand since inclusion on Soul Boulders mix last year. Two light ticks on one side, other side plays perfect.
Grading: I grade conservatively and base my evaluation on the look AND sound of the record. I grade on a scale of NM, VG++, VG+, VG, VG- (I will rarely list a record less than VG unless its scarcity warrants it).
Shipping: First class shipping within the U.S. is $3.50, including delivery confirmation. Insurance is $1.30 (for up to $50 worth of coverage - add an extra dollar per $50 of coverage). International shipping is $6.50 for regular airmail to Europe, Asia and Australia. This is what I have to charge to break even on the cost of the mailer and fillers and the actual postage. Other locations, please contact for a quote. As for multiple item purchases, shipping is free for the second 45 and $1 more per 45 (bulk purchases will ship at cost). I generally go to the post office 2-3 times a week to ship out packages, so you should get your record quickly! All records are packed using standard 45 mailers and cardboard fillers.
Payment: I accept Paypal, money orders, and cash sent registered.
Holds: Records are on a strict first come, first serve basis. I will hold records for up to 24 hours so that you can finalize payment arrangements. Please don't ask me to hold something and then not get back to me or flake out on the payment.
