THIS IS A LOVELY MOTOWN COLLECTION I WAS ASKED TO SELL FOR A FRIEND. I'VE NEVER SEEN A COLLECTION OF RECORDS IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. THE EX+ RECORDS ARE MORE OR LESS MINT AND THE MINT MINUS ONES DON'T EVEN LOOK AS IF THEY'VE BEEN PLAYED.

THE SINGLES DON'T CONTAIN ANY BIG ITEMS BUT THEY DO HAVE A LOT OF 600 NUMBERS THAT ARE HARD TO FIND.

THE EP'S HAVE BEEN PLAYED BUT ARE GENERALLY REALLY NICE.

THE ALBUMS ARE AMAZING.

I'VE PRICED THESE BY THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE BUT HAVE KNOCKED SOMETHING OFF EVERY ONE SO £30 RECORD COLLECTOR WILL BE £20 HERE AND SO ON.

SO IF YOU WANT TO UPGRADE OLD COPIES OF ANYTHING, THIS MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE TO START.

AGAIN, HAS A MINOR AMOUNT OF CRACKLE BUT THIS ONE IS PROBABLY THE BEST OF THE THREE STATESIDE EP'S PLAY WISE - THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS A CRACK ON THE RUN OFF NEAR THE LABEL - IT'S NOT GONE THROUGH AT ALL AND IS NOWHERE NEAR THE PLAYING SURFACE BUT IT DOES LOOK A BIT ODD, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A MANUFACTURING FAULT OR WHAT. YOU CAN ONLY SEE IT IF YOU LOOK FOR IT MIND.
