All the records listed are part of my very own private collection from the 60s and 70s. I bought then all brand new and transferred than straight away into cardboard sleeves for added protection. I’m a private seller - not a record dealer.

For more than 30 years my collection has remained in storage, with the records upright in wooden record cases.  They’ve all been looked after, and I would consider most to be in “Near-Mint” or “Excellent” condition.

DAVID AND THE GIANTS - TEN MILES HIGH / SUPERLOVE  (CL 15915)

Another hard-to-find oldie from my collection, featuring two classic Northern Soul gems.

These two tracks were originally released in the US as separate records on the “Crazy Horse” label in 1968.

Rediscovered on the Northern Soul Scene in the early 70s, both tracks became huge spins at both Blackpool Mecca and Wigan Casino.

This is one of the very last Northern Soul records I bought for my collection when it was released in the UK. It’s in fabulous near- mint condition, with perfect labels.

A definite “Must Have” for all Northern Soul collectors.

All records will be securely posted out using quality cardboard record mailers, within one working day, following confirmation of payment by PayPal. (See Postal Information below)

RECORD HISTORY, DESCRIPTION AND GRADINGS

I bought all my UK released records brand new from reputable High Street Record Shops.

My US imported records were  purchased new from Specialist Record Shops in Manchester City Centre (Mainly from the “Spin Inn” and “Ralph’s Records“) apart from a few rarer ones in the 70’s, which were sourced from a trusted DJ friend who had “contacts” in the Northern Soul Scene.

All my records have been looked after. They’ve not been traded or passed from one person to another, like some records offered for sale on EBay.

Record Version

I always try to include record version details in my listings to show whether the record is a genuine UK or US first issue or a subsequent re-release. Where the issue status is not known or can‘t be positively confirmed, the record will always be clearly listed with “reissue” shown in inverted commas.

A full explanation of the gradings I use is given below :


NEAR-MINT  

The record has all the appearances of a new record with little sign of having been played. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

EXCELLENT    

The record shows some minor signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. Both labels will be perfect unless otherwise stated.

VERY GOOD   

The record has obviously been played several times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and/or the occasional light scratch. Both labels will be in good condition unless otherwise stated.

In addition to my descriptions, I always provide pictures of my records out of their cardboard sleeves, so you can see the record in full and on both sides,


STYRENE RECORDS

Most of my 60s and early 70s US import records are pressed on styrene rather than vinyl.

Styrene is generally less resilient than vinyl and is more prone to the occasional “pop and crackle”. Most of my imports though have had very few plays and all of them have been well looked after.


If you have any questions about any of my records, please feel free to contact me. Many Thanks.


THANK YOU AND HAPPY BIDDING !
