Willie & the Mighty Magnificents — Very soulful — All Platinum / EX/VG+ / £225 (Super rare follow up to their On Scene ’70 album.

Juggy Murray Jones - Inside America (Disco) - Jupiter Jazz / EX/VG+ / £20 (Cover just shy of EX, has a few light dirt stains on lower front cover and name and date written on back with a ballpoint pen.)

Demo Cates - Memories of moments - Scorpio / VG+/VG+ / £15 (Cover has price written, light general wear, middle seam split and creased corner. Still looks neat. Vinyl is clean but has some light marks from being taken in and out of the sleeve. With the lovely title track 2 stepper + the even smoother “Will I see her again”.)

12 inch
