Lot of 25 original 45 rpms. Perfect for a jukebox. Great mix of funk infused classic 1970's soul. A great collection of some of the songs that defined 70's R&B and helped inspire the Northern Soul movement. Some soul classics by the pioneers of modern soul from names like James Brown, Parliament and Rick James. Some crossed over to become huge hits on the Pop charts. Other soul classics included were too funky & loaded with too much soul for the Pop Charts, but scored well on the R&B charts and went on to become staples in The Northern Soul movement.
Every record has been cleaned to the best of my ability. "A" sides have been play tested in their entirety to ensure there are no skips or warps - so you can bid with confidence knowing you are not getting unplayable records! The sound quality varies from record to record with them ranging from good to very good (I would not list anything I wouldn't put in my own jukebox). Naturally, some play better than others, and they are by no means in mint condition. B sides have not been play tested. All records include jukebox title strips. And yes, these records can be played on a regular turntable - you do not need a jukebox to play these (I've been asked that before, so just throwing it out there!)
The lot includes:

These records range from being in good to very good in condition. They are playable records with no skips or cracks on any of them. All A sides have been play tested. The B sides have NOT been tested. Some may have writing on the labels or stickers or tears on the label. Sleeves are not included with the records, however each has it's very own jukebox title strip. These are perfect jukebox fillers! Please see photos for a better look.
