Honey And The Bees - Why Do You Hurt The One Who Loves You / (You Better) Go Now
ARCTIC M- £80
Lovely M- copy. Vinyl has a slightly cloudy appearance - not affecting the record at all. Label has a slight background colour fade - a trait on this label. All text and logos clear and bright. Only mention this things as it's a M- record. Looking great in original logo matching JAMIE/GUYDEN 'J/G' company sleeve - see pics

20th Century M- £30 (tatty 20th C sleeve)

Hodges James Smith & Crawford - Let's Pick Up The Pieces
MPINGO M- £30
As with all copies the gold text on the black label is quite feint.
Very slick and classy crossover girl group mid-tempo. A great tune you can still pick up for a reasonable price

JER JIM HAN VG+ £30
I grade this as EX (light surface marks only). B side is VG+.
Plays VG+ to EX. Couple of clicks in the running but this clears before the first note of the intro.
Always loved this affordable northern girl group track. Everything in the right places!!!
