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.

HERE IS THE LAST LISTING OF MY RARE NORTHERN SOUL COMPILATION DOUBLE LP'S BUT PLEASE KEEP A LOOK OUT, SOME RARE RECORDS STILL TO COME IN THE FUTURE. MOST ARE IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!

IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE MORE THAN ONE RECORD I CAN DISCOUNT THE POSTAGE AND GET 3 X LP'S INTO A BOXED MAILER, 50 PENCE EXTRA POSTAGE PER ALBUM. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED BUYING SO I CAN SEND YOU AN INVOICE.

HERE WE HAVE A DOUBLE  LP OF 32 CLASSIC NORTHERN SOUL TRACKS ON SOUL SUPPLY RECORDS IN SUPERB EXCELLENT PLUS AUDIO CONDITION. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A SOUL SUPPLY PRESSING WHICH HAS SOME TRACKS WITH NOT SUCH A DYNAMIC LOUD CUT SOUND AS THE KENT COMPILATIONS I HAVE ALREADY SOLD. HOWEVER THE RECORDS ARE IN EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION VISUALLY AND THANKFULLY IN TOP AUDIO CONDITION ON THIS SET. THERE IS EVEN A MENTION ON THE REAR SLEEVE THAT SOME TRACKS ARE RECORDED FROM THE VINYL COPIES AS THE MASTER TAPES ARE LOST. BUT THIS SET SOUNDS CLEARER TO ME THAN NOS 1 TO 4, TRACK 2 SIDE 1 BY THE WHISPERS EVEN HAS THE SOUND OF THE NEEDLE GOING ONTO THE VINYL :)

NORTHERN SOUL STORY 5. VARIOUS NORTHERN SOUL ARTISTS 1987 MADE IN UK FIRST PRESS VINYL LP ON SOUL SUPPLY RECORDS, LPSD 123. IN EXCELLENT PLUS AUDIO CONDITION WITH AN EXCELLENT NON GATE FOLD SLEEVE. SOME RARE CLASSICS ON THIS ONE, SEE THE REAR SLEEVE NOTES FOR THE ARTISTS AND TRACKS! A TOP COPY. ALL THE TRACKS ARE IN MONO BUT PLEASE NOTE SOME TRACKS HAVE NOT SUCH A DYNAMIC LOUD CUT SOUND BUT THEY HAVE IMPROVED THE PRESSING QUALITY ON THIS ONE WITH A CLEARER SOUND.
