I was looking at what I bought last year and thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else had purchased in the last year. Old or new, cheap or expensive. Post your favourites!

These are mine:

 Landy Mc Neil ‎– Move It (Move On)
 Rated "X" ‎– What You Gonna Do About It
 Othea George ‎– Now That You're Gone
 John Standberry, Jr. ‎– Keep On Working
 Forth Session ‎– She's Gone
 Black & Ward ‎– This Is My Confusion
 Jade ‎– Viva!
 Carolyn Veal ‎– Your Love Is Like A Chain Around My Heart
 The Fabulous Pearls ‎– Jungle Bunny
 Alvin Delk, The Rocking Cavaliers ‎– Ain't Nothin Shakin'

Although one was a trade it cost me dear so I'm including it. Had a shite year and I've been buying a lot less but it's still difficult to decide on a top 10. I guess it could be these:

Ray & the Blue Satins - She Doesn't Love Me

The Mighty Lovers - Mighty Lover

Newcomers - Open Up Your Heart

Lee Williams & the Cymbals - It's Everything About You

Dream Team - There He Is / I'm Not Satisfied

Fantastics - Me And You

Little Charles & the Sidewinders - Talkin' About You Babe

Marshall & the Chi-Lites - The Price Of Love

Deena Johnson - The Breaking Point

The Marriott's - Tell It Like It Is

- Kev

I bought loads last year both in quantity and value but all had to be financed from sales of other 45's. It's difficult to do a top 10 but the following are all in my most played playlist on my phone. A couple were upgrades to demos, all are in M- and total cost was £95.

Brief Encounter - Just A Little Notion

Kenny Carter - Get Hip Girl

Jackson Five - Darling Dear

Enchanters - A Fool Like Me

Timothy Wilson - Baby Baby Please

Jack Moves - Doublin' Down

Auditions - Returning Home From Vietnam

Masqueraders - Gonna Stop / Average Guy

Jive Five - Sugar

Frankie And Spindles - There Is A Beauty
