Mix of in-demand and unusual, funky, Northern, crossover and all that. Soundfiles available.
I generally operate a ‘first to pay gets it’ policy. Cash needed, so no extended holds I’m afraid – prompt payment required. Paypal F&F or add 4% to cover fees please - postage to be added.
(1) The Contenders – “Don’t Ever Leave Me” / “A Love Like Yours” (Accident) VG/VG+ £75
- Seems to be obscure; garage-type Northern double-sider (check out the soundfiles below)
