I purchased a massive estate-sale lot of over 2,000 vintage 45s in seven crates, all records sleeved. Owner was a savvy collector, it's loaded with old soul, rock, R&B, doo wop, Northern Soul, hip-hop, funk, obscurities, rarities, promos, novelties, etc. I will be listing quite a few over the coming months, stay tuned!
