If it's minty, I'll have it :)

Marco.

Whoops! - missed that one. :doh: Now corrected. It's in amazing condition for its age. All those vintage Deccas I listed are in tip/top shape - they must have come from a much-loved collection. :)

Would like to take the Tosca (£4) & the Debussy (£2) please if still available. PM sent.

Too late, Marco! ;) ... Julian Tea24 has pipped you to the post(ing) on that one!

Thanks for the recent purchase pledges, folks!

LPs have now been dispatched. :)

In anticipation of the imminent arrival of your funds, I paid in £55 yesterday to the Cancer Research UK shop where I do volunteer work, from the recent LP sales on AOS (includng a couple that I kept for myself :whistle:).
:thumbsup:

Many thanks to you all.
