Thanks Jan,

Have reserved those for you, and will PM you.

John,

The LPs arrived safely today in tip top spotless condition.
SWMBO was delighted with the copy of La Boheme you included BTW.
It's her favorite opera and she didn't have a copy of that performance.

Folks, deal with John with the upmost confidence.
His gradings are conservative if anything and he is that rarest of beasts, a true gent.

[rabski]

Mine all arrived safe and sound as well. Condition easily as good as described for the couple I've had a chance to look at and play briefly. Probably better in fact.

Real gentleman to deal with as Martin says.

Sincere thanks John.
