Huge Lot Of Soul Lps' Up For Movin On! Some Rare

Soulfulsolutions · February 4, 2009

For many a year I thought that the world revolved around US 45's, still do to a degree, but what I did learn early on is that not everything is out there in 45 format, so I had to do some serious hunting for those brilliant album tunes you can only find on 33's.

Here is a selection from years of endeavour, which I am hoping will bring in enough to satisfy the more primeval urge for US 45's. Cover graded first & vinyl second, always conservative and satisfaction guaranteed. St = Stereo, Mo = Mono. As I am new to the forum (not collecting in general) I will get my head around putting some pictures of covers up.

All PM's dealt with in the order they come.

Payment: Cheque / PO / Cash / Paypal (No Fees) / Bank Transfer (EU).

Postage Rates: 1^st Class Standard Delivery £3 - UK, £4 - EU, £6 - Rest of the World.

50p each additional. 3 Lp's gets free postage.

Insurance: Optional.

Packing: Well wrapped and clearly labelled.
