Want to buy 4.5 boxes chock-a-block full of soul and funk original 45s in the best condition I've ever had approaching 900 records? Now's the time!

Over the past few months, I've been fortunate to find some of the cleanest stock and promo copies of original soul and funk 45s. I only picked out the cleanest records and left the scratchy classics behind. North of 90% of these records are M/M-!

The vast majority of these are 60s and 70s and are titles I never imagined I'd come across, and here they are.

Collectively, they retail for about $9500, but I'm offering them for $4500 (plus postage -- if you're international, I recommend using DHL through Parcel Compare).

I've done the hard work and heavy lifting so you can simply put them out and sell!

Here are links on You Tube of me flipping through each box. There are some records that have sold, but since they sold, I added another 70 more records last week.

Let's make a deal!

Hello!

I have a stock copy of Mercury 72474 from The Chalfontes for He Loves Me w/Confessin' My Love To You.  I have a photograph of both sides of the labels and full WAV files of each side attached for you to listen to.  I normalized the files in Audacity.  

Please note:  This record does have a hairline crack from the outer edge to about 3/4 of the way in that is not audible on either side of the record.  I transferred the file directly from my Numark USB turntable to my Mac.

The A side visually grades VG+, while the B-side visually grades VG to VG+ with a nonfeelable mark on the surface.

Both sides of this record are great dancers!

I send all records in heavy-duty cardboard mailers with a piece of cardboard on each side of the record.

I'm asking $75 U.S. or nearest offer.  

Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

I haven't used Delta Freight, or any of the airline freight option, but I've checked on rates for someone, and the rates are really reasonable.

Depending on how many items you have, most of the airlines have a freight service.  Delta has Delta Freight, etc.  

Hello everyone,

I've got a list of just about 2,000 original soul, funk, garage, punk and rock 45 RPM records for sale.  They are all individually listed in a column with a separate field for artist, title, label, condition and price.  I have it saved as an Excel spreadsheet as well.  

After grading and collecting records for 30 years, I strictly grade.  None of that overgrazed-record nonsense.

They're all stored in white 45 RPM boxes and are all sleeved.

I am asking $6,000 US or nearest offer.  

The records are located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for producing all of those great Lou Rawls tracks!

 

This is a private label Minneapolis modern soul boogie 45 rpm record.  The sleeve is VG plus with a solid sleeve, but light ring wear.    Clean labels.   Record is close to VG+, but would say VG to VG+ (almost VG+, but not quite).     No feelable marks.   I am asking $850 US ONO.  Record must be sent via express mail so it is fully trackable.   Please PM to sort/reserve.

Please send me a PM with any queries about condition, prices or to reserve.  

For sale: A rare slice of Milwaukee (Beloit) original funk from Little Gregory and The Concepts on Lompri Records. This record is impossible to find in Wisconsin, let alone anywhere else. Most copies are thrashed that turn up.

$850 US including express mail anywhere worldwide.

Please make an offer!

Reduced to $1200 OBO.  Anyone fancy making an offer or buying this?

Hello Everyone,

This was being held by someone that couldn't get the record, so I'm reoffering it.

For sale: A rare slice of Milwaukee (Beloit) original funk from Little Gregory and The Concepts on Lompri Records. This record is impossible to find in Wisconsin, let alone anywhere else. Most copies are thrashed that turn up.

The labels are clean. The A side is VG+ due to a paper sleeve scuff. The B side is VG to VG+ due to paper sleeve scuffs, not scratches.

$1000 US including express mail anywhere worldwide.

Reduced to $350 plus postage to facilitate quick sale.

I have the only release from Nobody on Nowhere Records from 1983, a great slice of modern soul.

This is a good news/okay news offering.

The not-so-good news:  There is no picture sleeve.  It wasn't there.

The good news:  The labels are clean.

The record is very close to VG.  There are no feelable marks.  I gave the record a quick washing with washing-up liquid and a chamois cloth to clean the grime off (it was filthy).

I played both sides through in their entirety.  Background noise is heard on quieter passages, but the record plays fine and loud on loud passages.

$500 US plus $50 for express mail international.  I won't send it anywhere without tracking.

PM to reserve.

Many thanks.

Good afternoon everyone,

I've got an original pressing of Fraternity F-1002 from Albert Washington and The Kings for I'm The Man w/These Arms of Mine.  The record is in VG condition (conservative Goldmine grading) with nonfeelable marks and very faint ring wear on the labels.  Please find a photo of both sides of the label.  

I am asking £120 for the record.  The record is located in the United States.  Postage via air mail would be $15 U.S. via air mail and can be sent express mail for a higher cost.  

Thank you so much, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks!

Good afternoon, everyone.

I've got an original rare Detroit funk 45 for sale from The Propositions for Africana (Part I w/Part II) on New Dimensions Recording.

The record is a solid VG+ (conservative -- not feelable marks -- a few marks from being stored.

I am seeking $600 and would need to send express mail so it's trackable.

PM to reserve.

Many thanks!

I pre-ordered it.  Simply having label scans, detail about boots, second issues, originals.  It's well worth having, as I don't travel with it.  I use it for the information in it, not to price records.
