I HOPE YOU ENJOY READING THIS LITTLE LOT, IT'S A TERRIFIC COLLECTION. A LOT OF THESE RECORDS ARE DESCRIBED AS HAVING MARKS BUT A LOT OF THAT IS DUE TO SLEEVE REMOVAL BY THE LOOK OF IT, I.E. REMOVING THE RECORDS FROM CARDBOARD SLEEVES NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE GRADED THESE VERY CAREFULLY AND EXTREMELY HONESTLY, AND THEY ARE ALL GRADED ACCORDING TO BOTH PLAY GRADE AND VISUALLY - SO IF A RECORD LOOKS LIKE IT'S WELL WORN BUT PLAYS MINT - I CAN'T GRADE IT AS MINT, SO PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY.

I WOULD HONESTLY PREFER PAYMENT BY BANK TRANSFER WITH THESE AS I DON'T REALLY WANT TO PUT THEM THROUGH ON MY CREDIT CARD MACHINE DUE TO THE PERCENTAGE THAT THEY TAKE OFF ME, BUT WILL DO IF THERE'S NO OTHER WAY. AGAIN, I WILL TAKE PAYPAL BUT THE FEES WILL HAVE TO GO ON TOP, SORRY.

POSTAGE IS FREE OVER £100.

UNDER £100 IT'S £1.80 RECORDED OR £5.50 SPECIAL.

THE SHEPPARDS - STUBBORN HEART - MIRWOOD EX 80 SOLD

This has some writing on the label - a felt tipped pen has been placed on the edge of the label while it's spinning on the turntable and so it has a circle of darker blue surrounding the label edge and centre hole, does that make sense?

One mark is all that stops it from being mint

THE VELVELETTES - LONELY LONELY GIRL AM I - VIP DEMO M- 100 SOLD

This is gorgeous, West Coast copy, two horizontal lines design, it's even datestamped May 13 1965. It's only flaw that it has a darker part where a sticker has been successfully removed across the VIP logo but it's definitely the nicest one of these that I've ever seen

Pete, have emailed you re. 2 discs earlier today.

[Supercorsa]

Looking at this list, I wished I'd took the cash on offer at work for voluntary redundancy! Pete do you do higher purchase terms?
