Couple more things before I forget.
If you could delete your choice if that specific album has already gone,not a deal breaker,but will help me.

Please put your choice in each thread and not by pm.

I will automatically start a pile for you if you buy any album.

I will be sourcing suitable packaging at the end as will have a better idea of what’s required for the safety of the albums,so please be patient.

If you buy a large pile that is to risky to post,I’m happy to drive around to deliver for price of my fuel.

May as well mention it now as I know no one will read what I post on Monday :smiley:

There looks to be 2 of one of the mobile fidelity albums,but it is in fact just one,we think Dave got a new cover sent out as there is very slight damage on the corner of one. Will post out the spare cover to the winner.

Also will be checking all of batch A over the weekend to make sure there are no obvious visual flaws.

Miles Davis double album will be withdrawn as there is a one inch scratch on one of the sides.
