A fantastic opportunity to own a much-loved TWO TONE RECORDS paper label collection in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. All singles are from my private collection and have been carefully stored, many for over 30 years. All singles are original pressings, have original paper labels and come with official picture sleeves or Two Tone company paper sleeves, depending on how they were released.

The starting price of £300 is an absolute bargain and similar but-not-as complete collections have sold for way in excess of this amount in recent years. The collection has loads of rare collectible items so take a good look.

(Note – I am very strict with my gradings and will never grade anything as MINT or NEW unless it is in a sealed condition.)
