Hi Folks,

Before the list, could I recommend a site to you?

https://www.record-dealer.com/index.php

an excellent alternative to Ebay, and packed full of rare soul 45’s as well as other types of music.

It’s run by well known London soul person Martin Thomson and is well deserving of our support so it would be great if you could check it out and see what it’s all about. You can buy, sell and list wants.
