Personally I found the naming/numbering convention used by DMC confusing, as they never appeared consistent as they grew.  Some emphasized the chronological numerical sequence and some the month/year of issue.  In addition, some issues have multiple parts, like remix culture, underground selection, house nation, and more. Sometimes the numbering indicated the record number within a 2 record set and sometimes within different sets of the same numerical sequencing.   I have a limited number of these and I'll list them as clearly and distinctly as I can.  I believe all are from England as it was called back during the earlier issues or the UK as it was called during the later issues.  I can't remember if DMC ever had an American counterpart, seems to me it did at one point but I wouldn't bank on my memory at this stage!  I do remember I gave up searching for these as it got too confusing to know and understand--without clear pictures--which part of which issue was being offered for sale. It was also difficult to track on a list or personal catalogue of ownership as issue 169 meant...which part?  And 222/1 was...remix culture?  House nation?  And this one...79/2 89? WTF?  From 1989?  We know it's not 1979.  So...issue 79 record 2?  I assume record 1 was Mixes 1 but at this point it's anyone's guess.

Very light wear.  Comes in a generic black paperboard cover that has sticker remains on it. 

This appears to be record 2 in issue 79.  I don't know what the counterparts are to issue 79, I assume one of them is Mixes 1.  See what I mean?  The 1 and 2 after the 79 indicate a record number, not a side number.  Since most of these became separated sets over the years, as did disconet issues, it's hard to know which issues had which pieces parts in them.  Discogs might have it, I don't know.  Hot Tracks was, for the most part, nice enough to have gatefolds when they did double issues in the early days.  That stopped somewhere along the line with series 6 or 7 I believe.

However, if you win multiple items, you need to wait until I send an invoice through ebay. If you don't, and attempt to pay by clicking on the "pay now" button, ebay's system doesn't combine or discount the shipping amounts. It simply adds the shipping cost for each individual win together into one single over-inflated shipping amount.  Of course if everything you're purchasing is "free shipping", there's no need to wait!
