Rare Soul.

This page lists all 45's of any genre (Northern soul, modern soul, R&B etc) that are valued at over £60.

I'm quite happy to haggle on prices, particularly if you want to purchase more than one record, also if you can pay by cheque and save the PayPal fees! Drop me a line.

You might not agree that a Northern soul record costing less than £100 should be classed as rare but I think it makes sense in the context of my records for sale.
