WELCOME TO MY AUCTION.

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING RECORDS SINCE 1970 BUT IT'S NOW TIME TO LIST SOME OF MY 3,000 PLUS EXTENSIVE COLLECTION AS I'M NOW RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN THE HOUSE! THESE ARE EITHER DUPLICATE COPIES OR ONES I NO LONGER PLAY. ALL MY RECORDS ARE WELL LOOKED AFTER AND RARELY PLAYED. MOST ARE STORED IN PLASTIC OUTER COVERS TO PROTECT THE SLEEVES AND STORED IN RECORD BOXES AWAY FROM HEAT IN A SMOKE FREE HOME. ALL MY RECORDS ARE FULLY PLAY GRADED ON HIGH VOLUME THROUGH HEADPHONES ON MY HIGH END SYSTEM USING THE RECORD COLLECTORS GUIDE 2014 GRADING SYSTEM.

FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS I SHALL BE LISTING 30 PLUS NORTHERN SOUL COMPILATION LP'S, MOSTLY BY KENT RECORDS, AND SOME DOUBLE LP'S BY SO PLEASE KEEP A LOOK OUT. MOST ARE IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE RECORDING QUALITY VARIES FROM TRACK TO TRACK AS A FEW OF THE THESE NORTHERN SOUL CLASSICS WERE RECORDED IN THE 60'S IN MONO, BUT SOME ARE IN STEREO.
