Northern Soul - 15 x Top No Nonsense Records

	£		27
	$		36

I have resolved to recommence selling my treasured soul vinyl collection (very reluctantly), which is sizeable so I guess I’ll be around on eBAY for a while. I will endeavour to provide an honest and accurate assessment in terms of descriptions, but will be happy to consider a full refund in the event of any valid dissatisfaction. Where possible I prefer not to use the familiar record grading guide (such as VG etc) because they seem to offer little explanation and favour a seller’s perspective  – previous feedback suggests you’ll find the record is better than described.

They’re all in polythene-lined cardboard sleeves (with the exception of picture covers). I may have the original sleeve but please bid as though I haven’t. I’m well out of touch with the northern scene and will be largely guided by other sellers as regards what will be auctioned. Many of the records have my name written on the label (I know!) but all those years ago – longer than I care to remember – there was NO chance of me EVER selling them!

I don’t want to get into leaving rigid or abrasive terms and conditions although I have discovered why some sellers get frustrated into doing so. Therefore, if you like to leave it a few days before paying / communicating, please don’t bid. I’m not a dealer and it’s difficult enough having to part with them (I despatch very quickly …. once they’re no longer mine I just want shot of ‘em!)

Please clarify any uncertainty about an item BEFORE bidding, particularly if you’re seeking to buy only original copies of records (you’re probably more likely to know than me!). I will only post items on a recorded / signed-for basis – please don’t bid if you prefer to chance standard postage …. I won’t!

I will post worldwide. Please contact me regarding postal cost if you are an overseas bidder. Many thanks.

I’m currently selling in multiples, some by label, some by artist and some assorted. However, some of my highly valued buyers clearly still only want to purchase singles (I can’t seem to get the balance right!), therefore I’ll be selling individual records as well.

I prefer PayPal but will accept postal orders and personal cheques. I will also combine postage with the exception of the 15 x ‘no nonsense’ packs (i.e just on multiple purchase of singles) 

The records in this batch are all in outstanding condition unless otherwise stated:

Al De Lory & Mandango – Right On – Capitol (stunning, near mint

      condition)

Earl Van Dyke - 6 x 6 – Tamla Motown TMG 759

Donnie Elbert - A Little Piece Of Leather – London (stunning condition)

The Chiffons – Sweet Talking Guy / One Fine Day – London (very few

      plays)

The Impressions – Love Me – Buddah (very near mint condition)

Gene Chandler – It’s Time To Settle Down – Checker (a small scratch

      at the start producing around ten audible ‘clicks’. Bearable though)

The Natural Four – The Devil Made Me Do It – Chess (outstanding

      condition but another of those singles that sounds better with a

      slightly oval middle because the centre bore is marginally off

      centre)

Vicki Sue Robinson – Nighttime Fantasy – RCA DEMO (unplayed, no

       writing whatsoever and in original sleeve)

Johnnie Taylor – Please Don’t Stop – CBS DEMO (sought after ‘B’

       side to ‘Somebody’s Getting It’)

Archie Bell & The Drells – There’s Gonna Be A Showdown / Tighten

      Up – Atlantic (stunning condition but missing middle

Johnnie Taylor – I Wanna Testify / Booker T & The MG’s – Mrs

      Robinson / William Bell & Judy Clay – Private Number (a nice triple

      feast. There are a few faint ‘clicks’ at the beginning of ‘Mrs

      Robinson’ and one ‘click’ at the beginning of ‘Private Number’)

Fantastic Four – I Don’t Wanna Live Without You / You Gave Me

      Something – Ric Tic (near mint condition)

Jay & The Techniques – Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie / Contact –

      Mercury (very few plays)

The Fury’s Band – I’m Satisfied With You / The Performers – Set Me

      Free – Mirwood

Sounds Of Lane – Serenade / same (virtually unplayed but some very

      slight background noise, which has to be more to do with

      production. Sounds fine)

Apologies for the now familiar inept photography – shouldn’t be allowed near a camera!
