A collection of 33 x funk, soul & disco 7" vinyl records, including some which are scarce and difficult to get hold of. The vinyls are in mostly VG (Very Good) or EX (Exceleent) condition. A few may be just good. All have some sort of a sleeve in usable condition, including plain, picture, original, or incorrect company sleeves. A few have writing, or other label damage, and some may require cleaning.  There are no returns on this cheap lot and I haven’t got time to clean or test these, so another three singles will be included F.O.C, just in case a record jumps or sticks.
