Big Across The Board List With Sound And Scans - Seriously Reduced

Diggin' Dave · October 20, 2013

This one's for the lesser fortunate collectors among us. Some of these are heavily reduced and are now entering bargain territory, so I hope you find some good deals on records you've been after for a while or new sounds you didn't know before.

All the records from the list come with scans and soundfiles of the actual records, so I hope you'll have fun with the list. If you have questions about these records don't hesitate to ask. And if you can't get enough of these, I've got some more in stock in my store: https://stores.ebay.com/Diggin-Dave-45s

Shipping is £5 to anywhere in the world, for any number of records from the list. Int'l signed for shipping is £10.

The grades I use are: M-, EX, VG+, VG, VG-, G etc. I try to grade conservatively, so the VG and VG+ records should look and sound pretty good, but with the soundfiles you can judge the sound quality yourself.
